Feeling Mom Guilt and I'm Only 9w5d
Idk if this more of a rant or if wanting to know if there are others out there like me, or both. I am 9 weeks, 5 days and my husband and I are ecstatic to be where we are right now. I have endometriosis and over the years we've wanted a baby so so bad, but things weren't lining up (surgeries, hormones etc etc).
We are now expecting, but I have been SICK since 4w2d. I knew I was pregnant the second day of my missed period because I sat up in the morning and almost threw up. The nausea and sickness has been unreal, especially since the end of week 5. I am taking Zofran every 8 hours and gravol in between, I'm seeing a high risk gyno and he had me started on this week's ago. I have missed so much work I had to tell my boss what was going on. I haven't seen friends or left the house except for the occasional small grocery shop once ever week or two.
Every app I have is constantly telling me how important nutrition and exercise is. I feel so damn guilty because I want to be as healthy as possible but I can't even take my dog out for a quick walk. I'm lucky if I can keep down soup or some plain rice/pasta.
The guilt I feel from not being "healthy" right now but I'm literally just trying to get through one day at a time. It's making it really hard to be excited because I don't even feel like I'm pregnant, I feel like I'm down with the plague.
Had to rant, but also would love to hear if anyone was in my situation and was still able to have a healthy pregnancy. I'm already on the low end of the BMI chart and I got weighed at my first ultrasound Monday and I have lost weight in a short period of time, but the doc wasn't concerned, he said I should start feeling better in 3ish weeks.
Praying things start to get better soon, each week is just getting harder.
Thanks for listening 🖤
