Heading into third trimester
26+5 so just about there
Hyperemisis has made a huge come back after dropping off quite a bit at 18w and nearly gone by 22w. I cannot stop throwing up and have zero appetite again 😫 I got prescribed zofran so I’ll take it on the really bad days but that’s it because insurance only covers 15 tablets a month.
The really hard part is actually how active baby is. I feel like he never stops moving and is so high up (measured dead on at 26w but my torso is short so he’s already up into my bra line!) that my stomach is hugely affected by his movements and end up making it so I puke suddenly and randomly.
I was actually starting to enjoy my pregnancy and now I just can’t wait for it to be over 😫😫😭😭😭
Hormones have hit me hard too. I’m sleeping only 2-4 hours a night because I’m feeling so anxious and have this stupid torturously itchy rash and cry about EVERYTHING. If people ask me how I am, I turn into a ball of tears. SO can’t stand it anymore and just ignores me lately! Plus he yells at me for working through the bad days yet he knows we can’t afford for me not to work and my bosses wouldn’t put up with me taking excess time off work. He’s already complained about having to work overtime to cover the extra expenses while I’m on unpaid maternity leave.
I know I should be “thankful to even be pregnant” according to some but that’s a bs response from people who have never quite experienced this level of illness during their pregnancy. It is NOT worth it and while I absolutely love this baby, I’m very resentful of how this pregnancy has gone and wish my SO would have been happy fostering and adopting like I wanted to do in the first place.
Sorry to throw this vent out there, it initially was just going to be about him moving so much while I’m nauseated and I guess turned into a lot more 😂 I know some of you can commiserate though!
