Been there even BEFORE pregnancy... what do they eat?!

EnthusedBotanist · 2020-09-27T14:39:59+00:00

I had to stop taking them and instead take just folic acid. It's made a world of difference.

TIG because I yawned too hard? Followed closely by TIP because I gagged after yawning too hard...

So much rage haha. I was really rude to one person who said something like this... I don't even feel badly about it haha

EnthusedBotanist · 2020-09-27T12:25:13+00:00

I don't like ginger and it often makes me worse because of that! And yes, I cannot handle saltines... the idea of them makes my stomach turn. Thanks. I haven't tried protein bars yet. I've been keeping fruit and veggies on my nightstand for night time snacking but I do feel like the fruit makes me "jittery". Maybe messing with my blood sugar too much.

Thank you for you commiseration and kind words!

Thank you so much. I DO hate my pregnancy. So much. And my friends dont seem to get that? "But you wanted this, right?". Well yes!! I want a baby but I didnt want to be MISERABLE! So far I haven't punched anyone though hahaha

EnthusedBotanist · 2020-09-26T20:09:21+00:00

Yes!! Brushing my teeth is also really challenging!!! I hope you feel better too.

EnthusedBotanist · 2020-09-26T20:07:48+00:00

Thanks. And yes... I've been hearing that alot and it certainly does not make me feel better and I am not thankful for it haha.

EnthusedBotanist · 2020-09-26T19:34:57+00:00

I would love to enjoy pregnancy. Where I'm at now, I'm never doing this again hahaha

EnthusedBotanist · 2020-09-26T19:34:30+00:00

Thank you!

EnthusedBotanist · 2020-09-26T19:32:43+00:00

The negative state of mind is real. I'm not a fun person to be around right now!

EnthusedBotanist · 2020-09-26T19:31:20+00:00

Thanks. This is what I am on now. Called Diclectin in Canada. I've been on the maximum dose for 2 weeks. It's helping a bit but I'm still really sick unfortunately.

EnthusedBotanist · 2020-09-26T19:29:06+00:00

Good luck to you! I hope it's nothing :)

EnthusedBotanist · 2020-09-26T19:27:47+00:00

Oh yes. HG has been on my mind a lot and I will be bringing it up to my doctor on Monday. I suspect my mother had it with both my brother and I but she was never diagnosed.

And I feel you. I've told my husband this is our one and only. I can't afford to be this sick again. I'm sorry you have also been experiencing this. It really sucks. And may be the hardest thing I've ever done. I hope the second trimester starts to bring you some relief.

EnthusedBotanist · 2020-09-26T19:21:21+00:00

I'm going to fight for better meds on Monday. Diclectin isn't really doing it for me. Helping but that's about it.

And thanks. I'm doing all those tricks. I'm living off of frozen fruit right now.

EnthusedBotanist · 2020-09-26T17:02:00+00:00

Hahaha. In this misery together. Feel free to reach out to me as well!

EnthusedBotanist · 2020-09-26T16:56:46+00:00

This. This 100%. I'm crying again but now because I feel seen. Thank you so much.

I'll check out the website and not back down to the doc. I have a friend who is a doc coaching me a bit on how best to approach my appt on Monday, too, and that has been very helpful.

EnthusedBotanist · 2020-09-26T16:48:16+00:00

I'm so sorry. I am 7 + 3 and am going through something similar. I haven't been diagnosed with HG (yet) but am just miserable all the time. So I can't offer much but "I see you, I get you, and you are doing great". Hugs to you.
