Just need to talk.

I am pregnant with my 3rd child, I've been on anti d’s for a while for my anxiety.

I was advised to stop taking them because I am pregnant and its not good for the development of the baby, which I agree with.

Unfortunately I suffer from hyperemesis gravidarum and I am on a spiralling disaster of emotions and just want to stop this now.

I don't know if I want to abort the baby to feel normal again, but at the same time I really don't want to and feel I would regrate it. I am so confused and over feeling so so so sick.

I am falling apart.

Hi Whatnext23 and a warm welcome to our community forums

Things are sounding very hard for you at the moment. My heart goes out to you as you try to work your way through your emotions and to make some decision.

I'm not a health professional, though I can share with you some of my experiences. Being sick all the time is the pits hey? I guess you might be losing weight because of this too? I know what you mean about anxiety, especially during pregnancy. That's my experience, it was so much worse while being pregnant. Interestingly it was never diagnosed so i wasn't taking medication.

Is there anyone out there you can reach out to? Family member or close trusted friend who you can talk to about your situation? Making the decision you thinking about is very difficult.

I'm sure there are a lot of our community members who have had experience with what you're going through and who can share their experience with you. In the meantime, feel free to join discussions in the forums that are similar to your situation by doing a search using keywords, e.g. pregnancy and anxiety.

Keep reaching out if and when you want to.

Kind regards

Hello Whatnext23,

i has this exact sickness with both pregnancies, is this the first time around you’ve experienced this? Do you have Facebook? There is a hyperemesis page that saved my life and I would say also my babies. I suffered severally with my first and I did not want a second! I accidentally fell pregnant when my first son turned two. I had a massive anxiety attack and couldn’t come to terms with being pregnant again like why would I do this to myself again. Why would I put my body through all this not only mentally but physically.

there are medications out there that you can take so please do find a gp or Ob that have heard about the sickness. There is a lot more Awareness for this now as even three years ago when I first feel pregnant no one knew what HG was so I suffered bad.

please feel free to talk to me about anything. It is honestly so so so worth it in the end and you won’t ever feel it is until the moment they come out but you can do this I promise you xx
