When will the madness end???

babymallard · August 2014

Ya'll I'm grateful for the opportunity to be a mom... I really am. BUT... I am sooo tired of being sick. Tired of not being able to eat what I want. Tired of being tired. I don't want to go to work and I don't want to have sex. When I lay down, sometimes I feel even worse. I just want to cry.

Words of encouragement PLEASE!

A lot of these symptoms disappear for most women in the second trimester. I always remind myself that there are plenty of women who would give anything to be pregnant right now. It helps me appreciate feeling horrible all day long.

Thank you! And I know it could be much worse. I haven't told many pple yet... So everyone knows I'm in a weird mood but they have no idea why! Lol.

What an amazing perspective to have!

@babymallard‌, I hope you start to feel better soon!
What helped me was, I realized that I need to listen to my body and physically can not do it all right now. Even with the crazy demands of my work I make time to rest when needed. If I need to kick my feet up, I do. If I need to cry for absolutely no reason at all, I let it out... For me this has helped... My husband on the other hand thinks I'm nuts (he's probably right)

No seriously though, it gets better. Well, for me it got worse in third tri, but a lot of women aren't like that. Try to focus on the fact that you CAN take a nap if you want to. I have to say having a one year old has made this all a bit more challenging. I don't know how women do it with 2+ Kids.

I have the upmost respect for moms with toddlers right now... That's a whole different ball game. Hats off to you for sure!

I feel your pain and I also super respect moms with toddlers. I can barely get off the couch I am so tired, never mind chasing a child!
As far as the sex thing-my husband has been trying like hell for 3 days now and I am just not into it!
He is very understanding but it makes me feel bad. We are newlyweds! We are suppose to be doing it like rabbits!!

My symptoms started to taper slightly at week 9. I am now 11 weeks, and have had more good than bad hours today. Hang in there!

The one thing I keep thinking to myself is "they never said it was going to be easy but they said it would be worth it"

I think it's very fitting for how rough this first trimester can be, luckily I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

I'm also sick of being sick. I'm currently laying in bed trying really hard not to throw up. I'm 7wks 5days (I think?) and I really can't wait for second trimester.

hang in there!! This will pass

pnutg · August 2014

I'm with you. Sick of being sick. And I have a very active 14 month old.

brown101 · August 2014

@rsnichols‌, you seriously just made me tear up... I feel like the only people who understand how hard it is are other women who are currently pregnant... My little man is the wildest 2 and a half year old and I sometimes cry in the shower because this is THE HARDEST thing I've needed to do in my life. It's the absolute best thing in the end... But the end is so far away!!!!!

SaraD87 · August 2014

I'm chasing a two year old, fighting headaches, fatigue and nausea constantly too. You are not alone. I just keep reminding myself this is the easy part. Once this babe is out it will be sleepless nights and sore nipples.

hang in there mommas!!

cesquer · August 2014

I am afraid to say this out loud bc I don't want to jinx it, but I think I am starting to feel better.... I am 10w4d, and yesterday I was DONE feeling like sh@t. I felt just like you do today @babymallard‌. But today I actually think I'm gonna make it. I had a few hours of feeling at least 50% better. Hang in there!

Strawberry9 · August 2014

When I feel really bad I think about how lucky I am to be pregnant. I've had friends that had great difficulty becoming pregnant and I'm just so thankful that I'm pregnant. It's all worth it!

babymallard · August 2014

Ha! My SO thinks I'm absolutely crazy!!!! You all are the best! Def encouraging. I really am glad to have a birthclub.
