What Hell is mine

Being pregnant is supposed to be wonderful, but I've gone and messed everything up! I've always wanted to be a mother, but trusted God's judgement about when would be the right time. After three years, here I am, carrying a little one that is pleased by nothing! Any sort of food makes me sick to my stomach, and I cannot eat any portion bigger than a baseball. I began a new job about 2 weeks after conception, and they're thrilled to be there for me, calling me Preggo affectionately and trying to send me home, but I'm digging in my heels. I HATE throwing up, but I've done it twice today, and called my midwife mother to cry about it. I don't want to go home, because all I'll do is sleep and not eat, which always makes things worse. I wish there was something I could do to make this okay, again. I live alone, and the Father is just on the moon in love with his third child, but I feel like such an outsider! I'm a single mother, who can't keep any food down, living alone in a one bedroom apartment in Las Vegas, and feeling like a terrified child on a rollercoaster. I'd beg anyone to make it all stop, make it all better! I REFUSE to abort or to consider adoption, unless the family adopted me too, but I am SO miserable! I've no energy to get my chores done! Everything is a dang trial, now. And the family support isn't there on my biological mom's side, as she's known for being cruel at the wrong times, probably telling me to buy knitting needles and abort at home. So in the spirit of peace and quiet, I've decided not to share this with anyone until Christmas. And then prepare a VERY merry ie rum-infused eggnogg to make everyone toast the arrival of my little one, with. Is it me, or is the sky caving in on me? I feel like I'm being dragged kicking and screaming into this thing, and don't know how to fix the nausea, how to get my energy back, how to stay happy during such personal turbulence.

Early Pregnancy Signs

Me and my husband tried to concieve for 2 years without success. What I remember when I did become pregnant was my appetite. I was hungry all the time and had an extreme need for cheese and protein. I always had abnormal cycles so I did not think it odd that I was late. I found out at 6 1/2 weeks. That explained all my weird hunger pangs!!!!!

2nd Time Lucky

I had a d&c in Feb this year, after a scan revealed the heartbeat had stopped at 7 weeks, by this time i was just over 11 weeks. I had experienced extremely bad pains across my lower stomache for 3 days. I went back and forth to the doctors but since i didnt bleed at all they just kept saying wait and see. So i actually spent 4 weeks thinking all was fine when it wasnt. I just want everyone to know that if you have any sort of pains to get them checked out & dont take no for an anwer.

Good news is i am now 10 weeks & 1 days pregnant again, all appears to be going well so far, fingers crossed. I cant stop thinking about it though i takes up most of my day. I was feeling really tired & sicky though hav'nt been sick at all just abit of retching when i brush my teeth. Now im 1o weeks i suddenly feel much better, but thats made me worry even more. I go for my first scan on the 3rd Oct so until then i'll just have to worry.

I do feel better just talking about it anyway.
Good Luck to all you out there trying to get or are pregnant. I'll keep my fingers crossed for eveyone.

Dear Losing Hope-Tricia

I had a friend tell me to take wild yam root to prevent miscarriage. I have not ever had one, but I am only 4 weeks prego and I am freaking about possilb problems (just like everyone else), so she told me to try the wild yam.

It keeps the uterus nice and soft so the baby can't get "bounced out". It's worth a try, and natural so it can't hurt you...

Good luck, I'll think of you
