Feeling Icky (symptoms rant)

in April 2014 Moms

I woke up this morning and felt like I'd slept for less than 20 minutes even though I slept for 6 hours. I told work I'd be working from home and went back to sleep. I had planned on sleeping until 7am. I woke up at 10 am and I still barely felt like getting out of bed. Between the nausea, no appetite, fatigue, leg cramps, headache, sinus pain, cough and congestion caused by my allergies (which I can no longer medicate) I'm feeling really cranky and a bit depressed today.

I really try to be upbeat and I'm so happy to be having this baby which makes me feel even worse about feeling upset about all these symptoms. But Come on!! I just need a little help from my body here. I feel like my body is no longer my own.

    Your body IS no longer your own. I hear you though. Some days are worse than others, and definitely a challenge! Did you ask your doctor about zyrtec? I haven't had an appointment yet and am not taking anything other than tylenol, but my friend's OB told her zyrtec was ok.

    I know how you feel! I was feeling very upset and discouraged last night when I couldn't sleep and I felt like I had to throw up but couldn't. Luckily, I've been able to work from home yesterday and today but I'm really dreading going in to work tomorrow.

    On a side note, I heard you can take benadryl.. maybe that will help?

    My doctor doesn't want me to use the Benadryl unless it get really bad so I'm suffering through right now. It isn't really bad but super annoying.

    my doctor says he'd rather I not take anything if I can manage it, and my OB appointment isn't until 9/20. I really hope this is just allergies, because if I get the cold going around the office I'm going to be no fun to be around.

    Well it's certainly comforting that we're all in the same boat. Sleeping sucks. The last week my body and psyche has done a total 180 (I'm 6w5d and ms hit at 6w exactly). I keep wondering if I am going to be one of those women who absolutely hates being pregnant and won't want another, then I remember we're in the crux of the shi**y times and I'm sure I'll get over it, and of course, it's all worth it. I had a girlfriend (who can't conceive) tell me DH shouldn't cater to me unless I'm 8.5-9 months pregnant. I have been miserable so that pissed me off. How do you even respond to that?

    Lol, Say WHAAT? I mean, I like my independence and try and do as much as I can even feeling crappy...but what my husband does or doesn't do for me is no one else's business and I have to say, I am so proud of hubby for working long days and then coming home and making dinner without complaining because I cant stand the thought of food or cooking some days. Maybe your friend forgot that its your DH who helped do this to your body in the first place ;)


    Ha! Where were you when I needed you! But really, she just kicked leukemia's ass so I am super careful about what I say around her (can't conceive due to the cancer). But she said it in front of DH too, like I was being high maintenance or something! Literally during lunch it took all I had not to puke on the table, she was tipsy so maybe that explains it haha.

    I don't abuse my DH or order him around but if it makes him feel good to help me out I think it is great he wants to help. like when he cooks dinner, gets me a glass of water because I'm feeling nauseated, or picks up something I need from the store without complaint. Maybe other women don't think this way but I'm loving the lack of argument I get when I ask him to do something he normally would whine a bit about.

    That's exactly it :)
