Hey ladies so bit of back story I have had hg with all of my pregnancies (this is #4) and I have had it again this time. I had a placental abruption with my last pregnancy so a lot of bed rest, pain and stress and they now suspect I have it again due to pain tiredness and discharge. This time however I have had no bleeding so keeping my fingers crossed it’s not.
But I am so unwell I have had the flu now for 3 weeks and a double ear infection and it just won’t budge. I have also had gastro/food poisoning over 5 times and I am only 20 weeks. This was a very much unplanned pregnancy and I am just really struggling with accepting the fact I am going to be so unwell again for another 20+ weeks. Last pregnancy my partner had to have about 2 months off all up due to me being in bed rest. And he has already had a few days off for this pregnancy. I have my 20 week scan on the 26th and I am so nervous that they are going to find another abruption and he then has to take the rest of the pregnancy off work. He will get paid but it still doesn’t look great and I hate the stress of not being able to do anything.
I don’t really know what I feel I am going to achieve by making this post I guess I just needed to vent because I am just so miserable all the time this 20 weeks has gone so slow and I feel like it’s going to continue to go this slow because of how crap and unwell and sad I feel.
Anybody else having a hard time enjoying their pregnancy due to stress and illness?
I just wanted to add this is still a very much loved baby despite being unplanned it’s just the pregnancy that has me down.
