Sorry to be on a downer, just looking for a little support i guess

I'm 9/10 weeks ( we think ), got my first midwife appt next week - seems to be a lifetime away. This is my first child. I'm suffering pretty badly with morning (hahaha) sickness and not keeping a lot down. Found it hard to get through the doctors receptionists and just hoping everything is normal as it stands. Emotions seem to be playing all sorts of havoc right now. Especially today! Trying to work a 12 hour day as well is not really helping the sleep issue :-( - hoping it gets better soon. I keep being told it's the most joyous time of your life. how can it be at this point when you can't tell anyone?? So feeling a lack of support on the 'outside world' - anyone here in a similar place? Or got through it to the otherside?

Don't be a martyr .. Get an appointment at the docs and get some tablets for the sickness.. You don't need to tell receptionists what it is for they are not medically trained and are there to answer the phone.. see if doc will sign you off for a week or two so you can get the sickness under control and get some rest in.. you'll feel like a new person!

awww chloe i know it feels such a lifetime away, but it really will fly in and look at the wonderful gift you are going to get at the end.
Im 8 weeks and not getting my booking app til im 11 weeks so goodness know hopw long it will be before i can tell anyone.
im suffering more with tiredness at work as i stand all day and tbh sometime its not busy and it just adds to it, and have to make out im just fed up with work and thats why i keep yawning my head off!
i agree with pigpen, make you doc appointment to sort your sickness out,and just think positive, tomorrow is another day xxx

Riiiiight have just had a letter from the hospital saying they don't want to see me about the hernia until 4th May (when I'll be 18 weeks ish) and if they do decide to operate there is a 4 -6 week wait for that, plus the midwife wants me to see the obstetrician (sp?) before any surgery so add the waiting time for that in there, I'm going to be coming up for 28-30 weeks which (according to google) means no point in operating because the patch won't have time to heal before the birth and it'll pop straight off again! Spoke to GP who says because of the position of the hernia I definitely should not be working. So it sounds like I'll be on SSP until I can go onto MA, which means a £500 a month loss from our income. And I have absolutely no idea how we will cope with that. Haven't told DH yet, he's still stressing about me being signed off for 3 weeks - I think the worry of 6 months might finish him

chloecc, I can totally sympathise and I know how horrible it can all feel at that stage. I was constantly sick and ended up horrendously dehydrated and couldn't even walk from the sofa/bed to the bathroom without help:( I was practically housebound from around 6 weeks and it was such a depressing experience. My lovely GP saw me at around 11 weeks and prescribed anti-sickness tablets which starting working for me properly after around 4-5 days. It took another good few weeks to build my strength up again and start to feel somewhat normal again. My biggest regret is that I didn't go to my GP about it sooner, I just thought it was normal as the MW I saw at 9 weeks said everyone suffers and you just have to get on with it:mad: I'm still on the medication now, but I am finally starting to enjoy my pregnancy at 20 weeks so my advice is to not suffer in silence. Go and see your GP for some advice at least, just talking to someone about how I felt was a huge relief. I really hope you start to feel better soon, but just take one day at a time and cope the best you can x
