Suffer through...TMI

Okay so my sickness is so much better. I only gag now. I am 13 weeks. Everyone said suffer through the 7-8 weeks and you will be better, and I am. but suffering 7-8 weeks to hold food down was a long time.

Then allergy season. Was told to suffer through until week 14, then medication could be taken.

Now, my new pregnancy symptom.....yeast infection. I knew it was coming, I look it up online, and it says it is common in 2nd trimester...can I please skip a sympton?

so I call dr and tell him what is going on....he says sorry, but nothing can be done till week 16!!! okay so 3 weeks of suffering through!! The RN told me to eat a ton of yogart.

Poor DH, I was all set to get a temp job...I cried because I have no interviewing clothes...then I cry because now I don't even want to get dressed. He told me not to worry and he doesn't expect anything from me except to take it easy....then I said, um...this means no sex for 3 weeks His face dropped.

vent over..I will suffer through..just curious, after 16 weeks, does anyone know anything else I will have to suffer through? At this point, bring on child birth..I welcome the challenge

Re: Suffer through...TMI

sounds like the story of my life but knock on wood no yeast infections. I am at 16 weeks and I experienced everything written in the book. What got real bad for me was constipation but I will cross my fingers that u skip this stage. Its sometimes as bad as having the morning sickness

First !

Eat a lot of yogurt, wear Cotton under wear, keep the area as dry as possible.

I had 20 weeks of non stop m/s once I got to 20 weeks, I felt pretty good up until 30 weeks. Now I have bad legs cramping... but it's better than puking.

You will get through this. I had the flu at 9 weeks and thought I was going to die!

You will get through this- just keep telling yourself that!

yogurt is GREAT....what about acidopholus pills (it's the active ingredient in yogurt that fights yeast infections).

other symptoms....hemmerhoids, irritability just does NOT go away some times, I got jittery--like my skin was crawling and couldn't sit still, and near the end, anxiety attacks that were aggravated by caffeine

Re: Suffer through...TMI

Sorry Janice Hope you are feeling better soon! I've heard that yogart will help as well.

Re: Suffer through...TMI

sorry that it is happening to you

Re: Suffer through...TMI

thanks everyone..i feel like such a crybaby.

I am eating yogurt, I am going to buy more today and eat it all day long. I use to take those pills, but stopped once I found out I was pregnant..I should have asked if I could have continued to take them.

I think we are going to take a drive down to FL for the weekend, so hopefully I find relief at the beach...or maybe it will be too dry...ah who knows?

Re: Suffer through...TMI

You have every right to feel miserable so please don't feel like a crybaby. I'd be way worse having to go through all that. Just try to remind yourself that this is all temporary, and when it's done it will be so worth it!!
