Everyone else wondering.......

How their gonna get through this? I have had one hell of a week. Came home Monday with a 101 degree temp, chills, aches... been home since then.. I am so weak I can barely get out this post.... I think I am experiencing a bad combo of flu/pregnancy symptoms. I did call the doc and they are recommending rest.

It makes me feel so guilty that I am starting to worry obsessively and feel so lousy. I have known women (both in real life and on the boards) who have gone thru their pregnancies with grace and I feel so powerless in how I am feeling. I have wanted this for so long and beginning to question my strength, I think everyone around me is growing tired of the bitching and moaning (although everyone is so supportive). I worry at least once an hour something is wrong.....

Added to this is the January blues, the anniversavery of my mom's death being last week.. I just wanted to get out of this month, go to my appt and see/hear the heartbeat. I will probably cry tears of joy!!!

Anyway, I rambled so long I forgot my original point.

Anyone been there can assure me light at the end of the tunnel? I feel somewhat better for my vent anyways.

Re: Everyone else wondering.......

I am so sorry you feel so sick. I am not quite as ill but have been feeling very similar and I have just started this journey. But I know EXACTLY what you mean. My friend used to keep a pail in her car because she would throw up on the way to work. I feel nauseous and I don't want to get out of bed. I feel exhausted. My housework is slacking and I am just plain tired and I wonder too how I am going to get through the next 8 months

I hope your next appointment comes quickly for you!!!! Sorry about your mom, that's enough to bring anyone down especially when your feeling lousy. Get some rest and feel better soon

Kathlee,
Your going through arough patch, it will pass and you will get better. Sorry to hear about your mom. Being pregnant and emotional does not help..relax,rest and take care of yourself. You and your baby will be fine...

Re: Everyone else wondering.......

I hope you come out of your rough patch soon. I felt the same way when I had my fever/stomach flu. I though how am I going to get through this... but a few days later I was back to my old self again. Once you hear your baby's heart beat and see your baby on a sonogram that will be your light at the end of the tunnel!
