2nd Trimester Blues

[omismommy]

I lurked on this site all the way through my first HG pregnancy and throughout this HG pregnancy. I'm 14 weeks, 3 days and really feeling the full weight of how much longer this is going to last. I know that many people feel relief after 20 weeks, but my last one lasted the entire way through. Some days I just don't think I can make it. I was out of work for a few weeks and got aggressive treatment, which is great. Now, I'm back and everyone keeps telling me how I look a lot better. I want to say, "really, cause I woke up this morning by vomiting and I just spent that entire meeting focused completely on not vomiting and if you don't get out of my way so that i can get to the bathroom, i'm going to vomit on you right now. but thanks." People are just trying to be nice, but I feel very alone. It feels like it will never end. Sometimes, I get so anxious at the thought of continuing for another six months that I start to panic and can't breathe. I know this is supposed to be the easy trimester, but with HG, it doesn't feel like it. Anyone relate?

My HG with my twin pg was 4 weeks through the end (31 week preemies) and I can completely relate. I am so sorry you are suffering.

Raises hand. I can relate. Second tri was hard! Easy is the wrong word, but compared to first and second tri, my third tri was the "best"... My hg did continue till the end. Praying for fluffiness for you...you are so strong making it through each day!

I hear you. It's so hard to think about how much time is still left to go. But we definitely understand and are here for you!!

I found that the only way I can cope is by not thinking too far ahead. As soon as I hit my worst point around 10 weeks all I could think about was how I may have 10 more weeks of this left (or more). All that did was stress me out and make me feel worse. I would cry to my husband and tell him I just can't do it anymore. Thankfully, I have improved since then but I still have my daily moments of darkness.

I have that little baby ticker that you have and it lets you count down the days.. so you can focus more on the day that you just got through rather than how much of this is left.

So sorry you had HG for 9 months last time. I am crossing my fingers for you for the 20 week fluffy time!
