Hi Ladies,
I haven't been on here for a little while but thought I'd check in tonight. I've done very little in the last week because of the extreme nausea that hit me on Monday. I could barely function that night. Since then I've had to force myself to eat (bread with cheese, yoghurt and bananas are about all I can stomach). I've tried the ginger and the B6 and constantly eating and they only help a little, I'm still consumed by nausea 24x7. The idea of food and the smell of it repulses me. DH has had to cook meals for himself and mum's been a godsend sending us home with a couple of meals worth after every visit. The thing is, this is really getting me down, it is so relentless.
I've been off work for the week ( a few sick day because I also have the runs and then a scheduled day off work) but am starting to get really scared about going back and having to concentrate and function through it. At the moment the only relief I get is when I sleep (which I seem to do for about 12 hours each day). My GP and FS say that these are great signs but I just want someone to tell me how to feel better.
Accupuncture on Tuesday night might have helped a bit but I'm not sure, I just want it to stop.
Sorry for the long rant but I needed to get it off my chest. DH has been very sympathetic but I feel like no one really understands just how awful this is.
Has anyone else here felt this bad as well?
Any stories of hope?
Sorry for being so negative but this has taken away all the pleasure I had in this pregnancy.
Maggie
