Hello everyone. I'm new to this site. I'm 35 weeks pregnant. I was diagnosed with HG in my first trimester (lost 7 pounds in the 1st tri-m). Since then I've only gained a total of 11 pounds over my pre-preg. weight. I don't know if I am still considered to have HG, b/c I have actually gained weight, but I know every single ounce is baby or fluids or such.
I'm not sick every single day, but most days I am. I keep down probably about 1/2 of what I eat. I was prescribed Zofran, and it works a little. I was also prescribed Phenergan suppositories, but I couldn't keep them in (b/c of severe constipation). I've finally got the constipation cleared up with some Lactulose. I still sometimes vomit even water. It's not a pleasant subject, so I don't really talk about it with anyone. My husband is very understanding and sympathetic, but there's really nothing he can do but offer his help (poor thing... every time I go to throw up, he offers his help... but I don't want him seeing me like that. He reminds me that he's going to see me a lot worse pretty soon!)
I got so miserable at times that I just wished I could get "this thing" out of me. And I still feel that way at times. I began to resent her, but am over that now. Now I just want her out. I want her OUT here so I can eat and sleep again. No one really understands what it's like to not be able to eat normally for eight months. It is a core pleasure of life, and it makes you absolutely miserable when you can't.
I wish my doc would just induce me early, but I'm sure that's not an option.
I cry almost every night because I'm so ready for this to be over with. And I'm so sad because I feel so bad.
Thanks for listening. I'm glad I found somewhere where I'm not alone in being so miserable by being pregnant. Everyone said what a joyous time in my life this would be. I've never been so unhappy and so uncomfortable, and I feel so bad for not being able to enjoy it. I just want my precious baby in my arms... not in my belly!
