Well, hopefully I can get it under control in the next couple of weeks, before I start... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2248228 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 16:49:16 +0000 simplyfelicity 2248228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I am so sorry. I teach, too, and it's hard to do your job while so ill. I know it's the beginning of the school year but do you have a bit of sick time accrued? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2248180 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 15:26:36 +0000 travellingbee 2248180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: nope :( not unless I'm hospitalized.<br /> @Rockies11: OK, well, not sure then... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2248168 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 15:03:54 +0000 jh524 2248168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's sounds really hard! Sorry !! Any chance you could take a leave of absence ? I know that would be tough not starting out the school year but if it's that bad you also have to take care of yourself and your family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2248131 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 14:32:58 +0000 Rockies11 2248131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: One of the bugs was just diarrhea and I was drinking all day long, but still needed IV hydration, so diarrhea is a bit more tricky than vomiting! I think it's smart to look at it like liquids in, liquids out, not - are you able to keep liquids down. After a few days of serious diarrhea with no vomiting, it's still hard to maintain hydration. And no, mine did not go away with either pregnancy I am sorry to say. With this last one it actually took 2 weeks after birth to go away, and I still have lingering food aversions. It was horrible to have a toddler to take care of with I because I couldn't feed her, didn't have the energy to play with her, and felt so guilty all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2248107 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 14:11:17 +0000 travellingbee 2248107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rockies11: I have had 3 this year too! Ugh toddlers! I called the office and they said since I'm keeping stuff down for the most part I should be able to get enough hydration from Gatorade. Sigh. I'm so sick of this... Did yours ever go away? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2248098 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 14:03:18 +0000 Rockies11 2248098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I had my second (and worse) HG pregnancy recently, and I got no less than THREE stomach bugs from my sweet germy toddler. So you have my sympathies. While the HG was fairly well controlled with medication later in pregnancy, when I would get a bug, I would have to go in for hydration and IV medication. It reset my appetite too every time, and got me back on track. And having serious morning sickness does make you super tired, so I wouldn't give up on trying different medications so at least you aren't nauseous contantly and super tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2248095 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 14:00:31 +0000 travellingbee 2248095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where do I go in to get fluids? Last time I went to an emergency center for fluids, it cost me $1500. :( (I wasnt pregnant, just very sick) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2248091 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 13:54:41 +0000 LAZB 2248091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry you're feeling so terrible :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2248075 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 13:41:32 +0000 brady80 2248075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry! That sounds horrible. My friend had really bad MS with all three of her pregnancies and she ended up going in to get fluids after a stomach bug. It seemed to help her. I wonder if you are dehydrated? Feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2247971 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 11:57:07 +0000 Keybee 2247971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh dear, I'm sorry! Workin with MS is the worst! I hope you get better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2247895 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 10:56:12 +0000 FaithFertility 2247895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I am so sorry, I am a teacher too :( I feel your pain!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2247862 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 10:38:41 +0000 Anagram 2247862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: My second pregnancy had worse (and longer) nausea too, and in fact it has never gone away this pregnancy--I'm almost 38 weeks now. But it finally lessened and I was able to stop medications at 23-24 weeks, and since then I'm only nauseous 3-4 hours every day as opposed to 24/7 for months.</p> <p>You may be dehydrated, leading to the cycle downwards--can you go in and get IV hydration to "reset" a bit?</p> <p>Also, I have a toddler and was working full time and I still went ahead and took 3 different medications--Zofran alone was just not even making a dent in my sickness this time around. Yes, I was sleepy at first, but I preferred sleepiness over the general wanting-to-die feeling of constant nausea. I mean, I was still nauseous but I didn't actively feel like I was on the verge of throwing up 24 hours a day, if that makes sense.</p> <p>I was on Zofran, diclectin, and reglan. The diclectin was the last thing I phased out because it made the biggest difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2247836 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 10:23:48 +0000 winter_wonder 2247836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry you're dealing with this :bummed: how miserable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2247815 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 10:07:08 +0000 travellingbee 2247815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I thought my first was rough and was worried about the morning sickness again but everyone kept telling me, every pregnancy is different. This one could be much easier. I never stopped to consider this one could be worse!! Ugh!<br /> @Corduroy: thanks. I really need this to end soon!<br /> @Adira: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2247806 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 10:02:01 +0000 Corduroy 2247806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry you're going through this. I got a stomach virus at week 18. It sucked but it was the end of the morning sickness. I hope yours ends soon and you're feeling better for work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2247805 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 09:59:49 +0000 snowjewelz 2247805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Ugh I know! I totally understand you wanting to be knocked out till it's time to give birth lol. I really hope things turn around before you start teaching! </p> <p>And it's weird.. My coworker that's pregnant with #2 is also having a much tougher time than #1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2247794 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 09:56:38 +0000 Adira 2247794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry!! That sounds really miserable. :( Really hoping that you'll turn the corner soon and stop feeling so bad. Hugs! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2247789 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 09:54:05 +0000 travellingbee 2247789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: there are other medicines but I'm very sensitive to medication and most of the others make me beyond tired. I have a toddler so that wont work. It does feel like I can't win. I wish I could "quit" but there's no quitting this!! Not even a pause button. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2247788 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 09:51:30 +0000 snowjewelz 2247788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww I am sorry!! It's like you can't win! And it sucks that you'll be on your feet and have to be "on" as a teacher! Did your OB say there's anything else you can do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/17-weeks-and-feeling-worse-than-ever#post-2247784 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 09:45:25 +0000 travellingbee 2247784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had MS with #1 until 20 weeks, but as I recall, it was fairly well managed by one dose of zofran in the afternoon. I was working and functioning OK. But if I didn't eat dinner in time, I'd throw up. Occasionally I would throw up in the morning if I didn't eat quickly enough.</p> <p>This pregnancy started out the same. All day nausea that eventually led to a similar throwing up pattern around 10 weeks. It has continued, where I need to eat constantly in order to avoid throwing up. But I am still nauseous a lot of the time. </p> <p>Well this weekend, (starting Thursday )I had what I think was a stomach virus with bad diarrhea. I couldn't stomach anything and ended up throwing up many times. Now I can't seem to recover from it! Even with Zofran, I am still having terrible food aversions (I have NO appetite now) but if I don't eat, or don't eat enough, I am throwing up. </p> <p>I don't have a reason for the post other than to vent. I feel at the end of my rope. I feel tired all the time and like I can barely function. I go back to work in a couple weeks (teacher) and I don't know how I can keep doing this. I just want someone to knock me out for a few months. Wake me when this is over!!!! </p>
