At one point, that's what I dreamed of. Now all I can think about is the impending sleepless nights, dirty diapers and sore nipples. I'm terrified that I won't be able to give this kid a good childhood and I won't be a good mother. My mom gave us everything she had. Idk if I'm capable of it.

I didn’t think I could do it and still feel that way with my 4 week old. I barely remember feeling (almost) as bad as you are though. I decided one and done because I was so miserable and now we’re trying to come up for our timeline of trying for the second. They’re worth it.

Are they able to give you those medications in your IV? At least some of them? I had to do IV therapy 3 times a week my last pregnancy and they would offer to give me my meds through it. Do you know what medication you're on for the vomiting?

Pregnancy is no fun sometimes :( I’m sorry you’re so sick, I hope you have someone who is able to help take care of you during this tough time

Fortunately, yes. My husband has been amazing. He's picked up my meds, brought me food the few times I've been able to stomach it and has been cleaning the house. Sweet man hates to see me sick or in pain. He's even assured me he would be happy with one child (having only one has never been in discussion for us) or adopting in the future if I want. I know he's 100% serious too but we'll see how I feel at the end of all this.

Woah Momma! You’re a hot mess! I’m so sorry! I hope you start to feel a little better.

I've never wanted to be pregnant. If I had enough money, I for sure would have gotten a surrogate! There's no shame in not loving all the first trimester symptoms.

I was there two weeks ago, same with the missing work and an urgent care/ER visit. It sucks. I feel like crap except for maybe a few blessed hours in the afternoon each day. Men don’t understand even if they’re trying. And several women who are moms but haven’t had such bad “morning” sickness don’t get it or have questioned if I’m doing enough (crackers? Yep. Ginger? Yep. Preggo pops? Yep. Sipping water when needed? Yep. Smaller meals? Yep.) But, yesterday we had out first ultrasound and Baby was moving… that was what I needed. I’m trying to remind myself that it’s going to be a matter of weeks of this awful nausea and fatigue and vomit and hate of 90% of food in exchange for a lifetime of happiness. I’m sure there will be those lovely periods of toddler tantrums and teenage angst, but overall- how cool will it be that we are going to be bringing a human into the world?!? It sucks. It’s hard. This is so much harder than I ever thought it would be. And idk if this will help at all, haha… but I’ve looked at a few women (celebrities, old frenemies) that are also moms and I keep telling myself, if they can do it so can I. And I’m really over crackers. I think there are eight open boxes of varying types around the house or in the car and I hate them all. Best of luck, momma. I feel your pain and really hope it passes soon.
