Help! I Have Horrible Pregnancy Morning Sickness!
Submitted by AmberGaw
When I first found out I was pregnant, I was so excited. I went through the normal fears and worries, but never once second guessed my excitement and joy. Then the pregnancy morning sickness started and it wasn't fun, but the end result seems so worth it.
Now two weeks after the pregnancy morning sickness started, I have become so much worse. I keep losing weight, I haven't been able to eat in days because everything I eat comes back up (I have tried eating, but I cannot keep anything, even water, down). Swallowing is very difficult and at this point. I can't swallow because my throat is so raw. I am throwing up blood. I don't sleep because I throw up all night. When I do sleep I wake up with intense pains in my back and stomach that hurt so bad I can't even walk. Today I puked so much at work I passed out and my boss had to drive me home.
I go to my doctor today at 3, but until then all I can do is sit here and worry about this insane pregnancy morning sickness. I have no idea why these things are happening. I'm dehydrated, I can tell I am hungry (even though nausea over rides any hunger I get) and I have burst blood vessels all over my face from throwing up so much. There's another girl at work who is pregnant and her pregnancy is nothing like mine, she doesn't seem to have these problems. At first I thought it was just what happens when women are pregnant but now I am beginning to worry there is something very wrong with my body.
I feel pathetic. Most other women have babies and are strong about it. I feel like an over dramatic child. I'm so scared of what's going to happen next. I don't want these things that are happening to me, to result in harming my baby.
Is any of this normal? Or is there something wrong with me?
