Can't stop crying!

RANT:

I'm sorry if this is the first thing you're reading this morning, but I have to get it out.

I am so sick of being sick! Nothing seems to help and none of my family understands. My mom's comment yesterday was "just throw up and keep it moving". I can't keep it moving because my ribs and throat hurt. I'm literally exhausted after the bouts of vomiting, but can't get any sleep because well VOMITING.

I've been to the ER four times already and I've tried every safe medication for n/v possible. I can't work, can't play with my son, can't do anything.

Yesterday he wanted breakfast, but I was so sick I had to beg my sister to cook for him because the smell of cooking food makes it worse.

I went through this the first pregnancy, but it was over by week 12 (I think). I naively thought that this time would be better, but it's been worse. I can't even keep water or juice down. Last time I ended up with 14 cavities, who knows how many I'll get this time.

I woke up crying this morning because I'm just miserable. I'm also scared because if this doesn't get better I won't be able to work and my family doesn't understand why I can't work while pregnant which puts a lot of pressure on me.

I just want this to be over.

I know these things come with being pregnant, but it seems no one has any empathy.

P.S.

I've already started to get pubic bone pain which makes it no better.

    I felt the same way up until week 13 of my pregnancy. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to work, so as your mom said, I had to "just throw up and keep it moving". It wasn't fun at all. I, too, had breakdowns about how I was feeling; crying to my husband and mom all of the time. Although it's not what you want to hear, I think your mom's advice is the best.

    I'm sorry that you've been so sick.  How far along are you?  What does your OB say?  You said that you've been to the ER four times but have you discussed this with your OB or your PCP?

    I think my mom is just being insensitive because she does weird shit like carry 52 inch tvs in her 7th month of pregnancy. I've lost 13 pounds already because of this sickness. I'm sure it's not "normal". If I could keep it moving I would.

    I made 15 weeks today. I've only had one prenatal visit so far. When I called in to tell my OB about my last episode she told me to go to the ER. I won't see her again until the 15th :/

    Maybe I'm not pressuring her enough.

    I would definitely try to talk to her again.

    @sassquatch‌ thank you so much for understanding!

    So far I've tried Reglan, Phenegran, and Zofran. The Zofran works just barely. Usually it causes me to have a debilitating migraine which causes me to throw up anyway (go figure).

    Today I've decided that I'm going into the ER and I'm not leaving until they do something different.

    @Leannmb1‌ What a rotten thing to say. I hope you never suffer with HG. If I threw up once, I wouldn't stop until I was in the ER, hooked up to IVs. Congratulations to you and your ability to keep on trucking even though you weren't going through what OP was. That's an awesome comparison. OP, I am so sorry that you're going through this. Talk to your doctor. There are a lot of different medications that can help to keep you from vomiting. Honestly, my HG is controlled by Zofran, but it only keeps me from vomiting, I always feel nauseated - for me, that's enough. @NatureLovers‌ has a zofran pump, I don't know how bad your HG has to be to get that, but maybe it's an option. I hope you find a solution and feel better soon. As for your mom and other assholes who can't relate to how you feel and try to make you feel bad about it, fuck them. It's really easy for someone who doesn't know what you're going through to make it seem insignificant and easy to deal with.
    I really wasn't trying to be nasty. I can totally relate to how she is feeling. I was so sick from week 6-13. throwing up everything I ate/drank, could barely function at work, etc. I would recommend that she talk to her OB and see if there are other nausea medication options. I had many breakdowns when I was so sick that I could barely move. 

    OP, if you are working, maybe talk to your boss and see if there is something you can do to lessen your workload...I don't know. I just meant to keep your head up and do the best you can to get through it. 

    Sorry if it came off as insensitive.

    This makes me angry.  Your OB needs to be more involved in what is going on and not just hand you off to the ER.  She is the one that will be seeing you on a regular basis and will have more knowledge regarding your medical history.  I would most definitely pressure her into seeing you earlier.

    I'm sorry for what you're going through. I think most people like your mom don't understand how bad pregnancy can feel. If they had a few weeks of morning sickness or a little nausea it's easy for them to say get over it. Getting rushed to the ER even once should have made them shut up and you've been there four times. If you feel like you can't work than don't let them make you feel bad about it. Only you can decide what's right and what you're capable of doing at this time. I would talk to your doctor again and see if she can see you sooner. It doesn't sound like she's taking your symptoms serious enough. I hope you feel better soon!

    I'm sorry you are battling with the nausea real bad. My first pregnancy was the worst where I was constantly sick the whole pregnancy at all hours. Luckily my job understood and kept someone near to jump in my spot when I would start running for the bathroom. Have you discovered what makes you sick ? If so try to avoid those triggers. Mine is anything with red dye mostly. Also make sure you are drinking Lots of water to help keep you from getting dehydrated and keep crackers close . I hope things ease up for you soon.

    I'm sorry I hadn't been able to respond, but I appreciate all of your understanding replies. I will be seeing my doc in two days.

    So far, I'm just really trying to be a champ about it and any "good" moment I have I fully embrace. Even if it's just a chance to giggle or hug my son.

    Once again I am really appreciative of how supportive you ladies have been. Thank you!

    Sorry you're dealing with this. I thought I was all done with getting sick a few weeks ago (I'm 18w) and was SOOO happy. I had lost 10 pounds and although it wasn't too much of a worry at the time I was elated when it stopped. Just this last week though BAM it came back worse than it had been the first tri. Luckily its only a few times a week now, but when it happens i feel like I'm about to pass out. Even my co-workers said I get really pale and look faint. All my tests check out though...so I just had to keep moving, although taking more frequent breaks has helped. My boss and co-workers are really understanding. I took the diclegis for my nausea/vomiting....it worked wonders for me.
