Nausea rant

I feel so miserable everyday, 24/7, from the minute I wake up till I finally fall asleep past midnight. I wake up with bad hunger pangs which quickly lead to nausea, I’ll eat and it goes away an hour after eating but return in 2. Mostly I won’t actually vomit but sometimes I will, I’ve been lethargic and uncomfortable daily because of this. I just want to be able to sleep for 24/7 until this is over cause it’s too painful to bear sometimes. I’m only 6+3 and not sure how long this will go on for. I don’t feel connected to the baby like I thought I would or how everyone else does cause all I feel is miserable and uncomfortable. 😭

Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It sounds like you're really going through a tough time right now. Nausea and morning sickness can be really challenging, and it's totally normal to feel overwhelmed by it. First of all, please know that you're not alone in feeling this way. Many pregnant women experience similar symptoms, and it can be really tough to deal with. It's okay to feel disconnected from the baby at this stage - your body is going through a lot of changes, and it's completely understandable that you're focused on how uncomfortable you're feeling. One thing that might help with the nausea is to eat small, frequent meals throughout the day. It's great that you've noticed that eating helps to alleviate the nausea - keeping some healthy snacks by your bed to eat before you even get up might help with those bad hunger pangs in the morning. Ginger tea or ginger candies are also known to help with nausea, so you could give that a try as well. It's also important to stay hydrated, so make sure you're drinking plenty of water, even if it feels difficult to keep down. If you're really struggling, it might be worth speaking to your doctor about potential remedies or medications that could help ease your symptoms. As for feeling disconnected from the baby, please don't be too hard on yourself. It's okay to have mixed feelings during pregnancy, and it doesn't mean that you won't bond with your baby once they arrive. Take things one day at a time, and be kind to yourself during this challenging period. Hang in there, mama. You're doing an amazing job, and this tough phase will eventually pass. Sending you lots of love and positive vibes. 💕 https://invl.io/cll6she
