I know exactly what you mean, I def am going to ask about sterilisation or something as I can't take the pill or any hormonal concoctions and I really can't risk this happening again, think it'd kill me if I had to go through all this again, yes I will love my baby and I will probably at some stage say that it was worth it but it is definitely not worth the risk of becoming pregnant again and putting my body through this again.
I was very sick with Jenna too but not as bad as this though I never really asked for any help then and they say although it doesn't mean you will have it in every pregnancy but there is a high chance you will and it can get worse each time too.
I think if you ever do decide to have anymore you would need to really psyche yourself up first and follow dietary advice and possibly take anti emetics before hand as they say these things can help reduce it if you prepare for them before you try to conceive - don't know how true it all this though.
I just feel so weak and crap all the time, I just don't know how I'm going to manage labour, I know everyone says our bodies are funny things etc but when you're so depleted of every nutrient and you can't replenish it yourself how are we supposed to have the strength? I've read that it will take our bodies 1-2 years to replenish itself back to what it was as it takes 1-2 months for every month you are sick so obviously the longer the sickness goes on the longer it will take to recover. Like I said to you earlier on FB I was really against having an epidural at the beginning cos all the risks sounded scary but now I really think I will take any help that I can get to get me through it.

Hi everyone, is it just me or is this thread just dwindling away? I guess I'll take that as a good sign that everyone is doing ok lately. I've had another crap day so far, I got up and had a bath this morning and it took so much out of me, I just got back into bed with wet hair, I still haven't touched it either and it's a wavy frizzy mess so I'm going to have to muster up the energy from somewhere to straighten it before too long. I had my usual toast at lunch and by 1:30 it was all coming up again, not much point in trying anything different cos when I do it just comes up again only much more painful, feel really tired and sore and I'm meant to be going out in the morning for a while but I'll have to see how I am as I am just finding lately my energy levels are so low that I can barely get out of my bed to walk to the bathroom. So worried that when this is all over I will be scared to eat for the fear of being sick.

im still here... just dont have much energy for posting these days lol


good news is i had a big show this afternoon :-D lots of period type pains tonight so hoping something will happen soon!!!!!

I got your text earlier Kat, hopefully it'll all happen for you tonight and this time tomorrow you could have Ruby in your arms!! Good luck.

hiya hun im still here as well just was away at a wedding for a few days, was awful i was so sick the whole time coulnt eat and enjoy myself like everyone else, im sat here now with bucket next to me as i feel so so so sick and im scared to let this come up as i was so hungry i had a big lunch (well normal size but big for me as im eating tiny amounts) i keep crying every time i think of letting it come bk up. I was sick as soon as i got out of bed this morning as well

im so sorry ur still feeling so poorly lousie. I wonder if everyone else is starting to feel better? kat hopefully any minute now for you good luck

my 12 week scan tomorow, dreading it as i wont manage to drink the water they want me to drink and keep it down and they will tell me of for not frinking.

OH is doing a pot noodle and it smells so bad i feel like crying.

awhh hun.. thats miserable being away at the wedding so sick etc.. home is the only place to be when you feel so rough..

i know its easier said than done, but just try not to freak yourself out about being sick babe... sometimes the thought of it is worse than the real thing, and you might feel a bit of relief after.. sometimes i found it easier to puke in the loo than the bucket.. especially if i was dreading it.. theres something about being in position at the loo that seems to tell your brain its ok to be sick.

good luck for your scan tomorrow. i couldnt drink anything before mine either and it worked fine so hopefully you will be the same.. it will be amazing to see your wee bean on the screen, and will hopefully go some way towards making you feel that this might be worthwhile...

louise.. how was your saturday outing yest?

still no action for me.. nothings happened since the show on friday, except ive got super super exhausted! im starting to think shes never gonna come out of there!!!

Hi, my trip out yesterday was ok but I was knackered after it and came home for lunch and threw up everywhere for the rest of the day, today's been really bad too, thrown up really bad tonight and still feeling really sick and exhausted.So fed up at the thought of another 3 months like this

Claire that must've been a nightmare at the wedding when you felt so rough, like Kat says though just let yourself be sick, I'm the same, tonight I was adamant I wasn't going to drink anything as it just makes me sick but then when I felt I was going to be sick anyway I had to drink something or it would've been much worse on the way up again, is it just me or does anyone else fond that they are choking on their puke and have to take another drink just to help it come up? Might be cos I'm mainly eating bread too which is not pleasant to bring up at all.

Fingers crossed Kat she'll be here in the morning, so frustrating though when you get to this stage for any pregnant woman, especially when you've suffered so much along the way.
Keep us all posted, you can text me and I can let everyone on here know. Good luck

oh god yes when im being sick food and i have no fluid in there the lumps get stuck half way up and i carnt quite manage to get it up so i scream literally at my OH 'get me water' and i down it and within seconds the food is brought up with the fluids its horrendus that is the only way i can describe it, but if i dont drink the food sick feels like its crawling bk up my throat and gets stuck then i panic and drink just so i can get it out. Oh i hate it the thought of another 6 months is just so scary i dont want to say i wish i hadnt got preg this baby is so wanted but i just want to feel normal

kat, i hope your little girl makes a apperance thru the night i dont know what to suggest to get things going as i was a week early but the usual curry, sex and walking up the stairs a few times xxx

Hello ladies sorry i haven't been around much, we lost our internet connection thursday afternoon and only got it back last night

I was able to get online friday night on OH's phone and post the results of our 20 week scan (everything looking great) but otherwise i've been having serious BandB withdrawal!

Sounds like everyone is still having a rough time and we're still waiting on the arrival of baby ruby. Hope she makes her appearance asap hun!

I had a very bad day on friday (the day of our scan) had to get up early and drive for over an hour to get to the hospital we used to be booked at before we moved I really didn't feel like eating so just had a glass of cranberry juice before we set off and AS SOON as we got in to the hospital i had to run to the toilets and throw it up, it was horrible- i have discovered cranberry juice is another BIG no-no, it burns on the way up!

The scan went fantastically though so that cheered me up but i still couldn't eat all day, although did keep the rest of my fluids down that afternoon somehow.

Since then though i have been doing great, was sick saturday morning and knackered all weekend (just sat on the sofa watching dvd's) but haven't been sick yesterday or today! Do i dare to hope this could be the start of me getting better?!

rebaby great news that your scan went well, it really reassuring isn't it? I hope it is the start of things improving for you, my Mum was talking to a midwife friend yesterday and she said some women do find it'll ease off for them a bit and they'll maybe have 2 or 3 bad days in a week instead of every day so maybe this is what's happening for you.
I'd be happy to even get up and throw up every morning just to have my life back, I felt so bad last night and then this morning I just felt so tired and sick, I've just had some toast and I can already feel it's gonna come up again. It really is so depressing and I can't believe I've been like this for almost 6 months now, it really is way too long, you can't enjoy the pregnancy and you can't go anywhere or do anything normal. It's our 5th wedding anniversary soon and when I found out I was pregnant I'd really hoped we could get away for the weekend but there's no chance of that now, I wouldn't enjoy it and I couldn't eat the food so it's be a waste of money and energy too. Hubby's promised me we can do something nice next year, but it's not the same, I just never expected to be so ill and for so long.
Claire I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that needs to take a big drink to make it all come up easier and I agree with you it is horrendous it's definitely much worse when you have to do that. Because I could sit most days being sick on and off for 2 hours I really feel like my whole days are spent just being sick so although I'm usually only sick in the afternoons and evenings it's like all afternoon and evening with maybe an hours break in the middle somewhere (enough time for me to eat my tea and then start all over again usually) my laptop has been my lifeline I really don't know what I'd have done without it cos I can't really concentrate to read a book at the minute. And you know how it is when you've been ill for so long especially when it's pregnancy related people seem to stop asking about you or just think you're exaggerating. I really really just wish October would hurry up, it seems so far away and I just feel like I can't cope with this anymore, I know I have no choice but it is just so hard. to you all
