emotional and discouraged

Ok - so I am going to vent for a minute.

This has to be the hardest thing I have ever done and I try to think of why I am doing this, but I get discouraged so easily. I am still feel yuck all the time and I am 13 weeks - shouldn't I be feeling better? I haven't thrown up for 4 weeks and threw up twice in one day and couldn't feel better all day. I am SO emotional. EVERYTHING makes me cry and get upset - I then go to thoughts like "What am I doing?" "My whole life is going to change!" " How in the world will I do this." And then I feel guilty for not being totally excited about these babies. We wanted to get pregnant and we got pregnant within 2 months of being off BC (which was a shock becuase we thought it would take a while b/c I have two uteruses and stuff) and so it was like two double whammys at once that were somewhat unexpected. I am really looking forward to having these babies but I am scared out of my mind that I am not going to be an adequate mother or even be a natural mother. MY husband as been great through this whole thing, but he is defintely getting a little frustrated with the emotional side of things. He just doesn't know how to handle it at times and thinks that sometimes I am making it like it. My house is a mess, my kitchen is a disaster, and I just feel horrible - emotionally and physically. I am just so ready to feel better.

whew - ok I think I am done venting.

Thanks

 

Im sorry you are feeling so crummy. I felt the same way when I was right around where you are. I can tell you that it DOES get better, and I promise it will all be worth it in the end. Good luck! :hug99:

 

:hug99: Everything you just said is completly normal. I went through a phase where I thought I was going to be a terrible mother. I never felt as if I was truly ready for the twins. Heck there are still days where I can't belive i've survived 10 months of twinfants. You body is going through a lot of changing right now and your hormones are kinda kicked in overdrive. I know that I was soooooo tired the first trimester...I literally didn't do anything! But the good news is, it does get better. In a few weeks you will start to feel your little ones kicking around in there and you will realize that it is all going to be worth it. You are 1/3 of the way there already. You will be a great Mother! I hope you start feeling better soon! :hug99:

 

:hug99: This is so normal!!! I hope you feel better soon & have a better day!

 

Welcome to the roller coaster known as parenthood. Buckle up, sit back, and hold on tight. It can be quite a ride. But it is so worth it.

 

:hug99: I think you're feelings are similar to everyone else's who has ever been pregnant. I hope you feel better soon :hug99:.

I agree with Kate, she said it perfectly. It is very normal to feel this way. Hang in there. :hug99:

 

I think I sent the exact same post last week; I am sooooo OVER feeling sick and tired… and now the guilt of not taking care of my house and my son like I use to is making it worse… I’m sorry you’re feeling that way… just know you’re not alone… I too went months with out throwing up (though I was very nauseas) then a week ago Friday it got so bad my Dr. threatened to send me to the hospital for dehydration then again this last Thursday ( i had to take meds to stop it)….

WTF I’m in my second trimester it’s suppose to stop… It had stopped with my son by now… I remember when I was this far along with my son, we were in Paris… heck I cant even go to the grocery store…

Let me know when you start to feel better, so hopefully I will get a glimmer of hope…

Hang in there your hormones are going crazy. I had all day sickness up until about 16 weeks and then miraculously I was better. I was never 100% but at least I was able to get off the couch and away from the TV for a bit here and there.

 

:hug99: i so remember that feeling and i promise it does get better, mine got better around mid 14-15wks, and now im onto something else where i feel like im not pretty, im getting huge, and im scared because it just keeps getting closer week by week. The sickness and tiredness will go away and u will have happier times. i think my house looked like a tornado hit for the first 3 1/2 months i was pg. I hope u feel better and like someone else said once u feel the lil ones kicking u and moving around it makes it all woth it. take care ur almost in the clear of the happier times of pregnancy w/ twins lol

 

It will get better. At the point I'm at right now - I honestly wouldn't even know I was pregnant except for the expanding belly and baby kicks.

I felt just like you a few weeks back. Hang in there.... it'll all be worth it in the end!
