Ungrateful? 😢 Please tell me im not alone!

Question

Im currently 8 weeks pregnant and have had severe morning sickness since 6 weeks.

I know it will pass and prior to the sickness i was super excited and happy but after dealing with hardly being able to keep anything down (even water) and having strong anti-nausea meds that don't seem to help, i cant help but feel like im ungrateful for this little one because all i can do is complain and just want it to stop.

I know it will pass and id never do anything to harm or get rid of this beautiful little life growing inside me but at this time all i can think about is how horrible it is.

Its just not the way i expected it to be and i feel like a terrible person because so many beautiful women would kill to be here.

Please tell me im not alone 😢

Answer

Who out there is counting their blessings as they're hovered over the toilet puking their brains out for the tenth time in 6 hours?? Who?

Don't beat yourself up. Growing humans is hard work and even though I didn't have morning sickness I had some nasty sciatica pain that made me extra cranky many days of my second and third trimester.

It doesn't make you ungrateful when you're miserable from feeling like shit.

Awww so sorry same thing happen to me lost my lil man at 17 weeks i wish the best for u stay strong ik the feeling i did the same thing and when i lost my baby i was so lost for words just eat as much as u can eat a lil at a time good luck

Answer

I felt like this when I was pregnant from 6 weeks until hear the end of 8 weeks. I was the exact same as you, was being sick a lot, couldn't keep a lot down and couldn't eat. This eventually passed at my 9th week and then I lost my baby. I would love to be back in your place however you're not selfish because I know how you felt and it was horrible!! Just keep loving your baby and remember all the sickness you feel is because your precious baby is growing inside you 💓💓💓💓

Answer

Who enjoys being sick? No one.

You don't have to enjoy feeling bad just because you're pregnant. And complaining does not mean you're ungrateful.

Answer

You're definitely not alone! It's hard to feel excited when you're super nauseous and exhausted 24/7, but that doesn't mean you aren't grateful. Luckily, the sickness usually fades in the second trimester. Hang in there, momma!

Answer

You can be grateful for the baby you are having at the same time not be happy with being sick all the time. I don't think you not wanting to feel sick and complaining about it has nothing to do with not being grateful you are pregnant.

Answer

One persons fertility has no effect on another's infertility.

Answer

You're not the only, I did this too, both times. Hopefully it starts to calm down for you when you get to the second trimester. Try ginger biscuits. 
All the best :)

Answer

I did the same thing. I would be crying telling my husband I couldn't take it anymore I was tired of going to the hospital because I couldn't keep anything down and I was dehydrated constantly. I was pin cushion my whole first trimester. Then now in the second I throw up maybe once a week now? You're not horrible for feeling that way, it's hard but there is some relief later on in the pregnancy.

Answer

Not ungrateful. That kind of sickness is hard on you. Add in the hormones and exhaustion and it's just a mess. 
I've lost 15-20 lbs with each of my last 3 pregnancies from morning sickness. It's miserable. But honestly worth it. That doesn't mean I don't spend the whole time just desperate for it to end. I work full time and was having to run to throw up multiple times a shift. Then coming home and doing the same thing. Having to cook meals for my kids when the sight and smell of any food was enough to set me off.
