Grandma Crackers

[Ari1028]

I'm still upset over some comments I got from my boyfriend's Grandma and my own Grandma.
Me: "I finally got my pills! I can eat again!"
Bf's Grandma: "Don't you think you're over medicating that baby?"
Me: "Umm no, I only take one a day and the bottle says to take it every 4-6 hours..."
Seriously? I consider myself extremely fortunate that one Zofran can last me the whole day. I can't even imagine if I got this comment while dragging along an IV and feeding tube. Not to mention she sees me throwing up every 10-30 mins without it and tells me "Eat crackers and drink gatorade. It worked for me when I was going through chemo." Sorry Grandma Cracker 1, I will just go unmedicated and let my baby and I starve!

My Grandma: "Have you been eating?"
Me: "No, how can I? I throw up before I can digest anything."
Grandma: "Well you should have thought of that before you got pregnant."
Me: "How was I supposed to know I'd get this disease?"
Grandma: "Well you should have gotten tested before you got pregnant."
Me: *Mind blown* "What?? How could I get tested? I've never even been pregnant before!"
Grandma: "You should have thought of that."
3 days later.
Me: "We heard the baby's heartbeat today."
Grandma: "Wow really? The baby's okay even though you haven't ate?"
She was actually shocked that the baby is still alive and healthy. Wtf Grandma Cracker 2?

I'm sorry mamas for their ignorance. You would think family would understand and have sympathy but they don't. My sis today said "r u sure it wasent all nerves or you were nervouse of being pregnant". I told her " are u fucken serious! U were there. How can a woman who wants a child, ttc and get pregnant would want to get sick. That's bullshit talk!. " I said not to say anything aymore because its a medical condition and its not mental. What she was saying is full of shit.

You should think family, who witness your HG at first hand should know better. I'm sorry you have such ignorant grandmothers around you.

When HG hit again in the second pregnancy and all I did was laying around on the couch, being sick, my sister told me: "Mmhh, is it the same again? Are you sure it's not in your head?"

That line still haunts me.
