I feel horrible! 8wks and counting down to relief...

Hey ladies,
I just had to vent, see if anyone else is this bad...
Saw the heart beat last Thursday, measured 7w4days. Very exciting, I was very relieved and happy. I was a little nauseous and tired but nothing too bad. I still had an appetite and was eating well...even had energy to walk my dogs, work 1-2 massages (I am a massage therapist).
Then, like a switch over the weekend I have felt more and more miserable. Constantly nauseous, although I have not actually thrown up (thank god), intense fatigue (like I am getting the flu), complete exhaustion (all I want to do is lie down), nothing sounds good to eat but I force food down my throat cause I know my baby needs the nutrition. Trying to get lots of fluids but everything I put in my mouth seems to want to come back up. On top of it, I have been tossing and turning, dreaming a lot, peeing a lot...not sleeping well at all!
Oh well, don't get me wrong, I am very thrilled to be having my 1st baby but I never expected this! Hopefully 12 weeks does mark the end of this misery. I am counting down! It's just tough, cause I feel so alone, isolated in this 1st trimester sickness :( Almost a little depressed.
Thanks for your support ladies ~ this blog is a good reminder we are not alone!

Re: I feel horrible! 8wks and counting down to relief...

  • Yup. Join the club! Haha I dont know how some mamas can work their 8-5 jobs feeling like crud. They get super brownie points from me. I just cancel clients if I need to do. My friend just had to get fluids through an iv the other night bc of throwing up too much. I'm looking forward to 2nd trimester sooo much!

  • Im also 8 weeks and i have been SO sick.  I woke up at 3 am to throw up.  and this morning... luckily I was in bathroom getting ready I ran to the bathroom and almost didnt make it to toilet and threw up again.  I mean I felt like the exorcist- projectile vomit.  lol  It was bad... and i cant keep water, juice, sprite... nothing down.  BLAH.  I am ready for the 2nd trimester!

  • I am so sorry to hear you are throwing up. Sucks! Hang in there ladies...I decided to just cancel work for today and tomorrow...
    This is temporary, I just keep telling myself that. ;-)
  • You're definitely not alone. I am similar to you with the constant nausea and I haven't actually thrown up either. With DD I did about 5 times so I'm going to see if I can continue to avoid it this time. I think it let up around 14 weeks for me last time. Hoping it's earlier this time. Hang in there! 
  • When I was pg with DS1 I thought the same thing, "how in the world do women work early in pregnancy".  Mine have gotten progressively better with each pregnancy so far.  With DS1 it lasted a few week, with my twin it lasted exactly 1 week, previous pg was just 2 days, and so far nothing this pregnancy but I'm not holding my breath to continue to be almost symptom free (I've had fatigue not from pregnancy but from the excess Progesterone).

  • I'm sitting here trying not to throw up my lunch as I'm reading this. This is terrible!!!!! I have an 8-5 job and I leave for work at 645 am and don't get home until 6 at night. Plus I work in a hospital with cancer patients who are very sick so I really have to keep on a good face. I have no clue how I'm doing it bc I'm on the verge of puking at any moment. Shaky and achy like the flu. Headaches. Wahhhhhhhh!! I feel all of you ladies. Women are seriously superheroes. This shit is no joke!!
  • You definitely aren't alone - the MS has kicked in for me as well right when I hit 7 weeks... Feeling crappy all the time sucks but yes, the second trimester should be better hopefully.  Also, I have my first appt. next week and may ask for some zofran to combat some of this on/off nausea but I'm wishing there was a cure for feeling like you've just been hit by a truck lol... Current Score: Baby - 1, Me - 0...
  • Not alone. At least you haven't been throwing up! & what is bad is it's not like omg I smelled something bad... throw up.. Its my sinuses are draining and making me feel chocked and I gag and there it all goes.......

    So ready to be over the nauseous stage of pregnancy ( although it comes back at the end of pregnancy when there isn't anymore room in your stomach and the baby's feet are in your ribs!)
    So happy though about this little bun baking in the oven.

    I had my first horrible morning today. But I feel you on the fatigue. My whole body aches like I have the flu. And I'm only 5w5d today! I wanted to crawl back into bed today and sleep rather than going to work all day.

  • I feel like total crap, we went through fertility treatments so I feel like I can't complain because this is what I wanted but sometimes the cramping pain is so intense I literally cry. I just never imagined pregnancy would feel so terrible :( 
    I'm 31 with PCOS and He's 30 with no issues.

  • Um, yeah, all of this. Plus I'm trying to put on a...if not happy face a 'normal' face for work during the week.

    I don't know what happened but on Sunday I was just so done. I told DH that I wanted to lie down and he got all snarky with me "isn't that what you did yesterday" (when I had finally managed a long shower, and actually dried my hair and put on makeup for the first time in ages) and I flipped. And kindly reminded him how I have been getting up with DD on the weekend and letting him sleep in. And how he has been having coughing fits and keeping me awake half the night.

    He left me alone after that and I slept for maybe an hour and a half before DD came up to find me and ask me to come downstairs with her. I just wanted to curl up the whole rest of the afternoon. Feeling a little better today but still not great, and DD asked to stay home and I honestly just wanted to say yes so badly lol
  • I love that, I agree. It is the happiest reason to feeling like crap. thank you!

    Thank you, ladies - for all sharing your complaints, it helps. I am sorry we are feeling so horrible but we are not alone.

    I just gave myself permission to take today and tomorrow off. Life is too short and this baby needs my attention/my rest. I feel like I am in the thick of it and I know it will pass.

    And to those whose husbands' are not being understanding...I have just said 'I am building our baby here. Kinda busy and just need your love and support.'
    Luckily my hubby has been supportive. I know it's hard for them too when we are 'down and out' week after week...but it's all worth it in the end! :)
  • Brownies DO sound good. :) I also got some strawberry popsicles...they sounded good.
  • Yes. I am a countdown person, and I am so tempted to make a countdown til the *hopeful* end of this nausea. Last time it was about 14 weeks. ...so only 42 days left lol

  • I am 8 weeks too, counting down gives me peace, I heard it was 12 weeks. But I have been hearing 14 from most woman...guess I may need to make it a bit longer.
  • Can't wait for this fatigue and. 24/7 sickness to end it's killing me.. I work a 60 hour week of day shift and nights and have 0 energy. Come 11am or pm I'm struggling to stay awake god help us!!
  • @DaveandKim08 I am so grateful for this board to learn I am not alone.  I am 100% where you are.  My pregnancy was dated at 8 weeks 4 days yesterday and while my husband was thrilled all I could say day "4 more weeks of this??!!".  I went from being ecstatic to completely miserable and depressed.  How do so many women survive this?
    My doc gave me some nausea meds so FX these will help a bit...
    Hang in there mommies, we can do this!

  • I feel EXACTLY like you, and also started getting depressed last week. It just felt like too much to be physically miserable every minute of the day... So far week 9 seems to be turning a corner for me. My nausea has greatly decreased. Hoping yours does the same soon!!

  • I feel you! I am the 8-6 worker and I have been dying! Finally broke down and called doc yesterday who called me in a prescription for zophran... it's a god send! I am not 100 percent but I can function and eat!
  • I'm 8 weeks Friday!! I'm just waiting for the sickness to start!!  Did you actually PUKE?? or just felt sick? FIRST TIME MOMMY!
  • Omg, I'm right there with you! Since about 6.5 weeks I've been feeling so yucky. Constant nausea, and like it was said I throw up because my sinuses drained, or because I was brushing my teeth, or worse trying to eat a saltine cracker. Nothing I think sounds good to eat, actually does and immediately after eating I get like the worse indigestion. which makes me not want to eat ever. The worst part is my SO Is gone for work for another week or so, he's trying to be supportive from a distance but it serves to just irritated me when he suggests I do things...HELLO I'M TRYING EVERYTHING!!! I so didn't expect this, can't wait for it to end and be excited about the litter pea.
  • Your not alone. Your describing me!
  • I have been getting awful indigestion. It has been pretty unbearable. Had to leave work early yesterday Bc it had gotten so bad even after barely eating much! Started Zantac but not completely gone, but a little more bearable. Hoping it will go away soon!!
  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • I have all the same symptoms!! So glad I'm not alone!
  • I completely COMPLETELY understand! We can get through this...
  • I did request my hubby take a trip to lush and get me some of my favorite bubble bath, shampoo, etc. It hasn't solved any of the nausea/fatigue/tears from nausea/fatigue- but it's made me feel a little better psychologically!
