Question:
I am currently 12 weeks pregnant and have been suffering with nausea and vommiting the whole time.I am on Diclectin. I am at the point where I feel mentally this illness has taken its worst toll. I cannot go in the car anywhere I get even worse. Right now every women I know in my family really do not believe that I could feel this bad. I am really sick of trying to justify this. I sometimes wish they could feel like this just for one day. I have even left my famliy doctor of 8 years because of her ignorance about this very real sickness. My husband is very sympathetic and asks why I need other people to understand. I just do he is the only person I can talk to I am at home sick all day by myself. I have stopped answering my phone just to avoid peoples ignorant attitudes. What should i do. I have axiety attacks and just feel like escaping this body and this baby even though I really want this baby I am do not feel like the loving mother I should feel like
