I'm sorry you feel so bad!! I'm on my first pregnancy but I was really surprised how mentally/emotionally hard the 1st trimester was! I had no idea how hard it would be to feel sick all the time, day in/day out, for weeks. It just sucks. I'm sorry! I hope you feel better really soon. 14 weeks was my turning point too.

Ugh, I hated the 1st trimester. I can't imagine it while watching another LO! All I did was go to work and lay on the couch

Yea, I've been on the couch watching TV most of the weekend. You're not alone! Lets hope it gets better ASAP

I'm so sorry. 1st trimester was the worst for me. Hope the nausea passes quickly. Don't worry about the house...it's not going anywhere

Amen!!! I had no idea what I was in for! I am 9 weeks tomorrow and this past week has been the worst. I'm lucky I have only vomited once this week (after vomiting every few days the previous few weeks) but my nausea has actually been more severe/debilitating despite the fact that I'm not actually vomiting. All I want to do is lay down and try not to vomit 24/7!

I work in a demanding career about 50-60 hrs a week normally but this past week I have been useless and miserable at the office. I keep closing my door and putting my head on my desk for a few minutes just so I can cope--it is almost impossible to think straight! I really don't think I can do this for much longer and I'm only 9 weeks!!

I can't stomach eating almost anything and I have barely been drinking anything either. I'm only peeing three times a day (and not much then)--so much for frequent urination in the first tri; I must just be super dehydrated from not being able to drink anything.

I hate the first tri--I'm right there with you!! I already told DH I don't think I can do this again. I don't know how you guys who have been here before were able to do this knowing what was coming! I have literally never felt so awful and miserable for so long in my life. I have a new love and appreciation for my mom, my sisters and mothers everywhere--women are so strong and so giving to go through this to bring life into this world!

Stay strong MrsKC and know I'm suffering with you! But I am in awe that you also are being a mom through this at the same time! My heart goes out to you Hun! You can do it, and don't be hard on yourself! Some extra TV during this time is not going to hurt LO. Sending you happy tummy thoughts!

Oh I hated the first trimester. Not only did the nausea suck, but the dang hormones made me feel like it would never end. But man, when it did end, i felt like 8 million bucks!

I'm sorry you are feeling so bad! my first trimester was bad for Baby 1 and the second Tri was bad for #2!

Try and remind yourself that your little one won't remember this, either!! All he will remember is having a sibling to play with once she's a bit older. Do whatever you have to do to survive!
Edited to change gender of LO! Should have paid closer attention

I was just wondering how things were going for you being at home now. I'm sorry you are feeling crappy. Both of my pregnancies were identical as far as morning sickness, so hopefully you will be done with feeling bad soon!

Growing a human is serious business, cut yourself some slack! You already have adjustments to make figuring out the staying at home thing, add this to the mix, and it's going to take some time to make things work. And as soon as you get it figured out, you'll have more changes on the way

I really learned to take advantage of the good days that I have to play catch up. But when I feel bad, my health and #2's health are at the forefront and we have a lazy day. Your little guy is super lucky to get to spend all day with mama- whether she is 100% or not. Hang in there!

I was just going to come on and start this same thread! I feel so bad that I'm counting down to each nap time for DS. Even a week ago I was more fun as trying to help w milestones etc., now I'm dead woman walking

awww! hated the first trim!! i remember telling dh that i NEVER wanted to be pregnant again!

hope you're feeling well soon mama!! you are the BEST mama to A

Eek! Hang in there mama. wish you lived nearby and you could sleep on my couch while our LOs caused mischief! I just made that offer to a friend who is in the same boat

Awww.. Sorry hun! Hang in there! You have a tough job just making a baby, never mind taking care of one! House and hubby have to/can wait...

Totally there with you. I am so grateful for this pregnancy - after a long ttc process, a miscarriage, this is nothing short of a miracle. From the beginning i felt like this pregnancy was different from the one i lost since i have been sick since 5 weeks on - and i am miserable on a daily basis. I feel like the house is in shambles, i haven't been able to run any errands, i can't eat properly and my digestive system hates me. Nothing is appetizing to me and as soon as i think of something i can eat, and actually eat it, my stomach rejects it almost immediately and i'm miserable for hours afterwards. I'm just counting the days until this sickness passes.
