Sorry to be a grumpy bear but I am feeling really cheated. EVERYONE (ok except my Mum) kept telling me that my Morning Sickness would end at, 12 weeks, 14 weeks, 16 weeks etc. This includes medical staff who insisted that its all very normal.

Well I am just about at the 19 week mark and its building up again, not that it left but the 14 day stint of steroids did help get me down to only throwing up 1-2 times a day. I'm back up to feeling ill all day and not being able to keep anything down today.

I realise that this might just be my lot in life but its not making my life any easier. If the Dr's and others can't fix it, then they can't, but is it so much to ask that someone with a bit of paper says "Oh sorry, we got that one wrong. Looks like you do get really bad, prolonged morning sickness. No its not in your head, it is real and yes I can see why its affecting every aspect of your life. We'll make sure your not dehydrated or starving - you just get through it as best you can"

What I really don't want to hear is yet another person saying "Oh that should be over by now" I KNOW BUT IT ISN'T!

Once again sorry for the grumpy rant but I am having a really bad day. If I could I would find a nice cave to hid in. If there is anyone out there who is still feeling ill let me know please. It wont fix it but at least I wont feel so abnormal.

PS Just in case your wondering I have tried all the alternative options, stuffed myself silly on ginger, done the Maxalon and Zofran attempt and even steroids (not the body building ones the de sensitising ones). Its not for lack or trying. I also know that there are other women out there with it worse than me and all my sympathy and empathy goes out to them.
