Pity party? Come on in!

cwelshsm · July 2012

I'm exhausted. Even after a nap I was just really run down yesterday. I forgot how exhausting the first trimester is. I took DD to the park yesterday and was wiped out after like 10 minutes.

The m/s has really started to kick in. I almost threw up a couple of times this morning. It definately feels like it has gotten "double worse" every 2 days as my betas double, I don't want to think of what double worse to this will be on Wed. I had it really bad with my first and I was really hoping it wouldn't be like that again. Not off to a good start.

And, I got a migraine this morning and am now sitting at work in the dark, sleepy, and wearing my seabands. Oh, and I had to break out a few maternity dresses because I look pretty pg in a couple of my regular dresses (already? Yikes). I have no idea how I am going to keep this pg under wraps for another 5 weeks. Pity party for me.

Anyone else need a moment to complain?

I feel crappy. I'm exhausted and nauseous and I just want to be home in my bed but I only have one sick day for the rest of the year and I'm sure I will feel worse later on.

This is making me irrationally annoyed with having to be at work and talk to anyone, which is very much not my typical personality. I keep feeling like it is the most unfair thing in the universe that I have to work, which is ridiculous.

I am thankful to be pregnant. I am thankful to be pregnant. I am thankful to be pregnant. (My mantra for the day)

I have to wear suits to work, and suit pants just do not give at all. I'm only 6'ish weeks and already wearing a belly band to work.

I'm also SO over the "prep" to keep myself from getting sick every morning.

Wake up, reach for bottle of water, slowly sit up, go downstairs and eat a granola bar (I hate eating first thing), take the dog out and breath in fresh air, get ready, drive to work, down sugar-free hard candies while driving, get to work, put gingerale in sealed coffee mug so no one sees. UGH

I'll join in the pity party this morning. I'm sitting at work sipping a ginger ale and eating dry cheerios. I'm wishing I could work from home as most of my work clothes are uncomfortable. I need to find one of those bella bands. I'm hoping this m/s goes away but it's only been getting worse. I ordered some preggie pops this morning on the advice of my SIL. I hope they get here quickly and that they work.

Buy one. You won't regret it.

They range between $25-30 depending on what brand you buy, and where you get it. Mine is from A Pea in a Pod (I think that's the name of the store), was $26, and is one size fits all.

I've got the pukes, and NO food sounds good. I can't even look at Pinterest without gagging. I am so thankful to be pregnant, but I sure wish I were one of you ladies without m/s! ::eyes a few posts down enviously::

braelyn26 · July 2012

ok i will complain a little too. I felt the same way yest. hit me out of no where. exhausted. DH took the kids to my moms so i could nap and i slept from 145-4! then of course was exhausted 3 hrs later. of course after that i didn't fall asleep this morning until 230. started feeling nauseous throughout the day all the time and am bloated a ton and thinking i wont hide this too long, i am normally thin and wear tighter clothes and spanx when needed LOL, not anymore. i really didn't expect anything until at least 6 wks so it kinda snuck up on me. at least it actually reminds me that indeed i am pregnant so i love every min of it

mrskitton · July 2012

You just basically described my life right now. I am so friggin' tired, crampy, nauseous, and just feel disgusting. Do those sea bands really work? I need to get some then....

mel1358 · July 2012

I'm not sure how I will make it through this day. I was up with DD from 10:30 until 1:00 this morning. My alarm goes off at 4:45. At midnight I was laying in the middle of her room while she sang, played and stacked toys on top of me. At first I thought it was her mosquito bite on her foot bothering her, so I put cortisone on it. Then I thought maybe it was her teeth, so I gave her tylenol. Then I thought maybe gas because I have been craving hummus and yesterday she kept shoving her hand in and eating some, so I cycled her legs a bit. Then at a last ditch effort, I made a bottle. All she wanted to do was play. I just want to take a nap for the next 8 hours...

Joining in:

I feel good overall today except for the raging mood swings. I haven't really experienced much of them yet, so it's hard to handle. 10 minutes ago I was ready to rip someone's face off. Now I just want to curl up somewhere and cry. I'm trying to stay calm and realize that it's just hormones, but it's really very hard to do.

I had to get one a couple of weeks ago. I got mine at Target for 16.99. It's been a lifesaver some days!!

I might have to swing by Target on my lunch. We have one just down the street. At this point, anything that makes me more comfortable will be worth the money. I usually wear skirts to work to deal with the bloat but today I wore pants. Why, I don't know.

I am sooo tired as well. All I want to do is sleep and being at work is torture. I feel like such a lazy butt, but when I get home I am just going to plop down on the couch and not do much.

Having a horrible day. I just want to sleep and cry. I'm exhausted, nauseus and grouchy as all get out. Saltines, ginger ale, granola bars.... nothing is helping. UGH

asutherland87 · July 2012

This is my first and I had no idea what to expect. I feel like I could fall asleep at a moments notice all day long, untill it is a decent time to go to bed and I lay awake for an hour or so. Then I am exhausted all day at work, and irritable..not a good combination. Hopefully it will pass or I will get used to being exhausted everyday all day long.

Solidsteph · July 2012

I want to puke all day long. I was NOT like this my first pregnancy with my little girl. Maybe this means it's a boy???

Seriously I feel so sick. I cannot believe it.

feytalaria · July 2012

I am so tired. My eyes burn they just want to close for a few minutes. I continue to be nauseous all day but especially in the morning. I am so happy to be pregnant, I feel bad complaining. I've almost gotten used to peeing every 45 minutes, haha.

kammmmay · July 2012

I hope you all feel better soon! I was like that with my daughter. I was sick before I got a positive and throughout the whole thing. Have you tried sea sickness bands? A bunch of people recommended those to me after I had my daughter. I was going to look for one soon. Also, I hear there are prenatals to help with m/s. I was going to try those this time around too. I have a sample, but I am waiting until I need them.

lynn3yb00 · July 2012

I've had to take off with m/s the past 3 days (including today) and had planned to go to the doctor this morning for some medicine because I have tried pretty much everything and it's getting to where I'm having troble keeping down water (thankfully not dehydrated though). When DH got in the car to go to the bank, the battery was dead; that was a 3 hr fight outside in the heat (heat index was already over 90 and that was 10am) to get it working (we think) and looking at it, batteries are over $100 here (since when?) and if its this other part thats $300 + labor. My doctor couldn't get me an appointment today, and isn't sure about tomorow because they do it on a day to day basis for "emergency visits" and I can't return to work until I have the note from the doctor. DH and I sat down and watched a movie, and I got up (m/s of course) and came back in the room to him laying on the whole couch with no space left for me so I went in the bedroom and couldn't fight back crying because there wasn't a spot for me to sit.

I swear, these hormones are the WORST!

You must try the Sea Bands. They are irritating my wrists after 2 continuous days of wear, but they are knocking down the nausea enough that I can be upright and doing things.

My complaint-this nausea. My goodness. I've never had nausea like this while pg. I used to always say that God was generous and gave me a pass on nausea because I was sick for 6mo as a kid and puked all.the.time, and I have horrible car-sickness and grew up with an unsympathetic, unaccomodating mother that seemed like she'd go out of her way to make it worse...but I guess I was wrong, because here I am with it. lol At least I made it 4 pgs without. It's got me torn in two, hoping on one hand that it's twins because I'd be ok with all the nausea then, but then not hoping it's twins because that complicates my usual birth plan immensely.
