HG

Wow, it's been a long time. But this is definitely cause to start writing again.

I am 13 weeks pregnant and miserable! This is baby numero 2 and I have been diagnosed with Hyperemesis gravidarum aka HG. Its basically a condition of severe vomiting and nausea that 2% of pregnant woman develop. Lucky ME. I was pretty sick with my son but not quite this bad, and i ended up feeling better with him and had a decent second half of pregnancy. So far this time, I have lost approximately seventeen to twenty pounds. But not only that, I am completely exhausted and weak. It takes so much just for me to get up and stand five minutes in the shower. There have been times where I just lay in the bathroom on the floor just waiting to either throw up or fall asleep. My stomach always has pains, probably because I am always constipated. My theory on that is because, since i can barely eat anything, my body wants to keep anything it can keep trying to suck nutrients from. Hence, no bowel movements for momma.

So these days consist mostly of living off our couch. And getting up early for classes, which really stinks because I signed up before I got so sick. I just need to make it through and I really wish and pray that some people start understanding that I am tired, Im in pain and i really am trying...
