Feeling so sick.

[suzyq6771]

I am 7weeks pregnant today. For the past couple weeks I've been so sick and sooo tired(i'm 39yrs old), I have two Daughter's, I know this comes with the territory. But it is getting so bad, I don't want to get out of bed all day, I can literally sleep the whole day away. And im so nauscious, if i don't eat, if i do eat, if i drink fluids, i'm miserable. It takes all i've got just to cook a meal for everyone. AND, my hair is soooooo greasy!!!! a couple hours after i wash it looks like i haven't washed it in a month!!! And i'm really really bloated. I know, i'm whining, but all of this has made me so depressed. I'm wondering if my body is too old to be able to handle this, oh yeah, and all it takes is for someone to look at me wrong and i'm in tears. My Mom couldn't make it over for dinner Sunday, I cried like a baby.  Could anyone here please give me some tips and advice on how i could maybe counter act these symptoms a little, or just give some inspiring words. I could really use it. I feel so guilty for feeling so unhappy and miserable.  thankyou :( Suzie

hi i am sorry to hear what you are going through and i know how it feels. i have 3 kids too and i know its hard to take care of the kids and the house when you are pregnant with my 1st and 2nd one i had horrible horrible morning sickness throughout the whole pregnancy. i even tried all the stuff prevent not to throw up and didnt work. i had to step outside while my husband is cooking and eating because i couldnt smell the food at all. try some toast thats what i did i could eat toast at least. it could be the combination of your age and the hormon of your symptoms. i couldnt get up at all in the morning while i was pregnant and i felt so miserable too. see if you can get any help as much as possible from your husband your kids your friends and families. your husband should help you more because its not just you who is responsible for the pregnancy it both of you guys responsible. and dont worry that you are sensitive i even cry watching simple cartoon before when i was pregnant. you have every right and excuses for the stuff that you are going through right now. try to find something that you will be occupied. going for 15 min walk or sit out side read book get some fresh air those things helps too. try to break down the house work. like if you cook husband wash dishes one day is laundry day and every body is gotta help you fold and once a week is cleaning day and divide the responsible with every each one of the family member. good luck to you and remember its for 10 miserable month and it will go fast than you think
good luck~

You could really use a pick me up, for sure. I'm so sorry you are having a more difficult time with this pregnancy. It could ba a combination of your age and increased responsibilities around the house. Are you married? Could your husband find the time to cook dinner and clean up a little? How old are your daughters? Are they able to help out? Maybe your mother can stop by and help out a little. I do not know your situation, but those are my suggestions. Since your body is producing more oils in your hair, maybe avoid using conditioner in your hair. If absolutely needed (tangles), use a small amount of detangler spray. Try drinking ginger ale to battle the nausea. Also some women will agree that foods high in carbohydrates will help. Drink pedialyte or sports drinks to keep yourself hydrated after vomitting. My hormones were all out of whack during my pregnancy too. I wouldn't worry about it so much. At least you have an excuse :) I hope this helped.
