Hi lovelies, desperately need reassurance..
I’m nearly at the 9 week mark. I feel like I’m dying. That is the only way to explain how I’m feeling. Since week 5 my morning sickness has progressively been getting worse. When I hit 8 weeks, that’s when it really ramped up. I’m vomiting 5+ times a day. I cannot eat. I cannot drink. If I’m not vomiting I’m crying or feeling like I’m about to vomit.
I have 2 other children who are 9 and 12, so pretty self sufficient, but I just feel like the worst mum as I can barely interact with them. House work has gone to shit. All I can achieve right now is keeping my eyes open and breathing. I’m utterly miserable and it’s starting to really affect my mental health. The possibility of this lasting throughout the entire pregnancy is unfathomable. Please, has anyone got any kind words? A sprinkling of hope?
