I felt like I was hit by the symptom bus last week, but this week I’ve been traveling for work and thank goodness I’m feeling like a normal human again. I’d be nervous that most symptoms disappeared except I’m sooo bloated. So glad for a week of relief
Anyone here have hyperemesis gravidarum? This is my second pregnancy and sure enough I have it again. Any recommendations are welcome! I honestly don’t know how I coped the first time around. I get so disappointed in myself when I can’t do the things I normally do.
I’ve always struggled with depression, but this pregnancy it’s anxiety. I’ve had it several times in the last few weeks... I have no idea why. My heart has been palpitating, I have that ball stuck in my throat for no reason. I’ve had a great day. I hope it goes away fast
@roadspeckle I'm usually a calm non emotional person but lately I have just been dealing with so many feels it causes me anxiety. I've also been very hard on myself and when negative thoughts creep in they make things much worse. I didn't experience this with my first either, parenting is hard and adds to my anxiety equation.

@kbutl3r I did with my first. Seemed like it has gotten better each time. Now on #4 and just rolled with it. No probs.
But with mt first, I was in bed all day every day and could only drink small amounts of Gatorade and eat bites of saltine crackers. I was about 150 (5’9) and got to 132 by month 4. It was awful. Walking made me dizzy. I remember everyone thinking I was lazy or dramatic. You have all my sympathy.
The house and chores will wait. Ask for help. Don’t stress. It doesn’t last forever.
@dirtanddiamonds thanks. The first time around I was naive and now I know I have a long road ahead. You become a shell of who you once were.
Im such a do-er so to be bed or couch ridden day in and day out is depressing. Once I have a healthy baby in my arms I’ll look back at this time as worth it. But right now life stinks.
@roadspeckle my anxiety hasn’t been too bad but I know that lump in the throat feeling and it’s awful. Meditation has helped me with anxiety before if it’s something you feel like trying.
I’ve been super depressed lately. I can’t tell if it’s just because winter sucks or what. I’m dragging myself and ds to a children’s museum today just for a change of pace and to get us out and about. It’s hard when I’d rather just lay around.

Hugs Mama, it will all be worth it come August.

Thanks for for the encouragement!
