Pregnancy Rant!
Okay so this is my 3rd pregnancy, I have an Earth baby and an angel baby. So this is my rainbow, and I'm very fortunate to be able to carry this baby, I know that full heartedly. But I really need to complain to some ladies who understand, pregnancy isn't always rainbows and butterflies! This post is anonymous to save myself embarrassment, and it's going to probably get very TMI so heads up.
I have HG. Hyperemesis Gravidarum. If you don't know what that is, you're very fortunate, and if you do I am so sorry. Basically, it's like throwing up so much your body gets dehydrated, you lose weight (even though you really shouldn't be) and you're constantly nauseas, all day every day. I have had it with every pregnancy, and I'm starting to question my sanity.
On top of that, I'm ridiculously constipated. Which makes sense, considering I can't keep liquids down. I probably go #2 once a week, more like once every 10 days. I just spent the last hour and a half sitting on the toilet crying because it felt like I was shitting glass. I have to take iron supplements (I'm anemic) on top of my anti nausea medicine (what a joke), my prenatal vitamins, and my stool softener which evidently does not work, but that may be because I throw up 10x a day, so not sure which suplements are staying down and which ones are washed down the drain.
And the cherry on top of it all, my husband has no sympathy for me, and is constantly asking me "so what did you do today?" "What's for dinner?" "Why don't you wanna cuddle?" I feel bad for the dude, but come on. Constipation, nausea and vomiting, dehydration... can you just order take out for once, considering I never get to eat dinner anyway??
Sorry if I sound like a bitch, I promise I'm not. I'm having a hard time, and I don't know how to handle all of this. Plus the influx of hormones, I just want to lay in bed all day and cry. I don't get to complain much, so thanks for listening to my rant. I can't wait to meet my baby, he or she will be worth it all. I just need to see the light at the end of this tunnel. Feel free to complain below, or offer some advice on how to get through this icky first trimester.
