So frustrated!

[JacobsMommy31]

So I am 12 weeks 5 days pregnant. I had a couple of really good days around the 12 week mark and I thought I was really turning a corner and was going to be a lucky one who's sickness magically went away overnight at 12 weeks. During this time while I was feeling great I had an appt with my maternal fetal medicine dr and I didn't even mention the HG to him like I was planning too because I was sure the worst was over! Needless to say yesterday it all came back and hit me like a ton of bricks! Why!? I don't understand! I didn't change anything! I continued with my zofran, unisom, b6, nexium routine...why would I all of a sudden after a couple of good days be feeling so crappy at almost 13 weeks pregnant?! Please tell me this is just a set back because I can't handle it anymore! I haven't been able to get out of bed all day. I am just so nauseous and depressed. And to top it all off, dh made a comment to me about how I should be able to do things for myself at this point. I wanted to strangle him!!! I hate how everyone assumes I should be over the sickness "at this point". Sorry for the rant I just feel like I am that much more depressed now because of those days where I felt semi human. Could that be a sign though that it is easing? I don't know what to think or where to go at this point!

The fact that you had some good days is a great sign! You still need to take it easy. When I first started feeling better I would have 3 good days followed by almost a week of bad ones. Every week should be an improvement though. The key is to just take it easy and don't overdo it. Keep reminding yourself that you are still sick. It's easy to forget when you feel so much better than before. Congrats on getting through the worst of it! Oh, and I would tell my husband that I felt nauseous and I still didn't feel well enough to do more chores. I found that if I was quiet abou my suffering he'd expect me to do more. He really is no expert on when you should feel better and every pregnancy is different.

Big hugs. Thats always the worst when you feel like things are getting better and then BAM you are back to the toilet bowl again. The main page has an excel document that you can download and it has every day of pregnancy and I used to chart to see if I had good days and how many. For some reason it kept me going. It also has a countdown. And I loved looking at that every day.

I was the exact same at your stage - I would have 2 "good" days and then I would just be right back at square one. I remember even being able to eat some relatively normal things around 13 weeks and thinking, "The HG is over!!!"......but in reality it wasn't. The important thing is that you ARE having some better days, which is a sign that things WILL get better. And as far as your hubby goes, I am almost 24 weeks and still have to have someone else cook for me, fetch meds, do laundry, etc., so please don't feel like you need to be doing anything other than concentrating on you and the baby!

I absolutely understand you, I had those terrible feelings until my 5th month. It's so common. I even used to think that I'm sick and got no enjoy from my pregnancy. So calm down and wait for some couple of weeks to pass and everything will be over.

And also, None of the medications gave me the relief. I was taking them just to take and nothing else.
