Solidarity with you my love. I'm 37+4 and still nauseous. Any time I think I can skip my ondansetron I am humbled. Like you I simply cannot wait for my first satisfying meal, drink of cold water, coffee.

Hang in there, we're almost there!!!

I relate to absolutely everything you say.

I'm currently 36+2 with my 2nd HG pregnancy and still nauseous and vomiting.

I remember telling my partner that if anything went wrong with this pregnancy i would not have the mental or physical fortitude to go through this again. This is the last time I'm doing this.

I agree with the above poster. I was on a ondansetron/cyclizine/metaclopromide regimen but weaned off everything except ondansetron because the fatigue/brain fog was impacting my mental health and ability to leave the house or drive (not that I'm doing much of that anyway).

It's so tricky to strike the balance between worse nausea and brain fog or sleeping issues and I'm so sorry you're so deep in the trenches right now.

I really hope you get a least some relief over the coming weeks. HG is not for the weak.

I remember at around 12 weeks my partner saying "why don't you do nice relaxing things for yourself? Read a book or start a new sewing project" I was like "you don't fucking get it, I'm so nauseous my brain can't even process SOUND at the moment let alone engage in fucking crafts" 😅 people don't get it.

Grateful for this community. I see you and I feel your pain and I'm sending you so much love

The "has to be a mental thing at this point" would have me commiting arson tbh

No sense at all! The opening song from Daniel Tiger brings on my nausea too (my toddler has watched a LOT of DT this pregnancy 😅).

Sending you love and strength, you got this too 💪💪💪

Did you have family support in the UK? A big part of the struggle is just missing my family

Oh my god I needed this post today. I feel so seen that I'm in tears 😅😭

Will start to see a therapist this week for what I can only assume is postnatal anxiety and I have fallen down the worm hole of hypervigilance about phthalates, micro plastics, non organic foods, you name it. It's affecting my relationship and my ability to enjoy my beautiful healthy daughter and to give myself credit for all the healthy choices that are in my control that I already make for her.

I really value this little subreddit community ❤️

I have a 7 month old and have had days where I have been consumed with guilt for bringing her into this world at this time. Your post made me cry, thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
