Anyone else not vomiting, but barely functional?

I'm 10weeks, 3 days - not enough energy to make ticker. I'm on Zofran, before I got the Zofran, I wasn't vomiting (except in my mouth once while walking down the street with my boss -that was awesome) but I just felt so nauseous I couldn't function. I work PT and watch another little girl (plus my dd) PT, which is more strenuous then the office job I had while pregnant w dd. I felt sick w her, but nothing like this. It did last until 17weeks w her though. I usually feel fine in the morning, but around 2-3pm just start a slow decline until I just have to lay down at 7pm. Now I feel like the Zofran isn't working anymore because Ive been feeling worse earlier. I want to cry. We tried phenergane first, but it made me way too sleepy to watch kids.

Anyone else going thru this? I sort of feel like a baby for taking meds when I'm not vomiting like crazy, but without them (and now when I feel they aren't working) I seriously cannot function. I felt like the doc and nurses were giving me a 'wimp' side eye.

Re: Anyone else not vomiting, but barely functional?

  • Yes sounds like me EXACTLY!  I start a decline around 4 pm, DHgets home and dinner is never cooked and I am usually laying on the couch with DS playing in front of me.  I have no energy and my nausea is usually the worst then too! Ugh!! I never had this with DS!

  • It takes a lot for me to vomit, pregnant or not. I have only vomitted a few times with this pregnancy but I am nauseous almost all day every day to the point I can barely function.  From about 5-6 or 7 weeks it was predictable timing between a couple hours before bed and a couple hours after waking up but now it peaks whenever my body wants.

  • That's me. I've only thrown up one time. This morning almost made twice. I've really been supressing it though b/c I know that it isn't like being hungover when throwing up makes you feel better and I hate hate hate throwing up. The morning is a struggle no matter how many damn crackers I eat and then I tend to feel better after lunch.

    Then the drive home from work really messes me up and by the time I get dinner taken care of and the kids bathed/in bed I have zero energy or motivation to do any cleaning or laundry. I just want to lay on the couch and try not to puke. blurg

  • I hate hate hate throwing up too. I have low blood pressure and low blood sugar issues and if I throw up, I'm out for days! My body just cannot recover. 

    I just felt weird because here I am begging for nausea meds and going to try for a natural birth. Ha! 

  • This is totally me.  I've actually only thrown up once (and not for my body's lack of trying, I just fight it and try to shove food in my mouth to keep the nausea as controlled as possible Tongue Tied), but I'm nauseous all the time and I'm totally exhausted.  Evenings are definitely the worst and I've been letting DH walk in the door from work and handle dinner.  I feel bad about it, but there's really not much I can do.  It's all I can do to get through the day taking care of DS.

    *sigh* I just keep telling myself that this won't last forever, but I'm starting to believe I'll never feel normal again :/

  • this is a lot like my experiences lately.  I had "morning" sickness in week 4, and it was mild, but by the time i had my first scan (6 weeks) i was miserable, not vomiting.  I have Zofran, but i've had lots of constipation, so i take it sparingly.  mine usually starts later in the day and i just feel completely incapable of doing ANYTHING most of the time.  I spent the last week basically laying on the couch (i'm a teacher so off, but working part time thru the summer at a restaurant).  I'm sorry you are also experiencing, but i'm glad I'm not alone.  was starting to get concerned (this is my first pregnancy).
