So, I haven't been on SG for the past couple of weeks, mainly because I've been so sick. My doctor diagnosed me with hyperemesis, which really quite sucks. What aggravates me the most is that nobody knows what it is and keeps trying to tell me how to deal with my morning sickness even though NONE of those things will work for me. (Not speaking about anyone I've asked, talking about the people who offer up their opinion without me asking.)
What's even more puzzling is that I just went to go to the pregnancy group so I could do a search and see if any of the mothers in there have posted any threads about the disease, but I've been kicked out of the group! No idea what happened there, and I'm not going to let it rub me the wrong way, but it does somewhat irk me. I've re-applied (this will be the THIRD time) and hopefully there's some tips or advice from people who have an idea of what they're talking about in there.
Today has been a good day though, sickness wise. I'm up and moving about, getting a few household chores done. I've talked with my mom and found out that my cousin is giving me her old crib and changing table and her co-worker is going to go through all her kids things to see what she can give away as well. That makes me pretty happy, because cribs are expensive and there might be a carseat in with my mom's co-workers gifts.
The boyfriend is getting laid off, but he got another job today. Of course that's awesome, but it leaves me alone quite a lot, especially for the next month, and I'm starting to feel it. Most of the time when I'm at home I'm alone now, and when I'm at work... well... lets just put it this way, nobody I've worked with has ever been pregnant and they're holding it against me so I don't really want to hang out with any of them anyways. It's just odd though, usually I don't mind being alone, I like my solitude. Must be the hormones fucking with me, because right now I can't stand it.
If you've been txting me, sorry for the lack of response, chances are I was throwing up my brains. If you wrote me on facebook, again sorry but I haven't really been on the computer all too much, been updating from my phone when I had a spare moment.
....one good thing to come from the hyperemesis....
haven't had a cigarette since last Saturday!

Oh and yeah, hyperemesis IS a serious condition for those of you who say "oh it's just morning sickness". Without proper treatment it could mean several really really bad things, not to mention I'd really like to see any of you try to throw up even half as much as I have been and not go to a hospital or doctor thinking you're dying. So, yeah, suck it.

Have the Drs given you any anti-nausea medication? They have suppositories, so you dont have to swallow the pill and throw it back up. Just put it in your butt!
They had to give me some of those when i was so sick i couldnt hold down the anti-nausea meds. It helps a ton even though its uncomfortable to use, but its the lesser of the two evils.
I really hope things start going more smoothly for you. Seems like alot of the preggers ladies i know have been having a hard time with it. Must be how the earth is shifting, its screwing with all the water in your baby cavities!
Anyhoo, try to stay positive, i miss and love you tons, and i hope you come on SG more, cuz im back now!!
