35 weeks pregnant and can't handle it anymore…..!!!?
I will be 36 weeks pregnant on Tuesday. I have had SEVERE sickness since I was 8 weeks. Doctor put me on Phenergan after about 4 months pregnant. When I hit my 3rd trimester sickness only got worse so now the doctor has me on Zofran. I’ve been the hospital twice allready because of the vomiting. 1st time I was not dehydrated, although my potassium was low due to the vomiting. Doctor gave me my 1st Zofran prescription. Medicaid will only pay for 8 pills a month!! So I was only taking one pill a day. Worked great I felt better and was actually eating. One night I got really sick and ended up in the hospital again. This time I was very dehydrated. Doctor gave me a new prescription and told me to get the prescriptions as much as I need them because of the Medicaid situation and the refills. Medicaid will pay for new prescriptions. So I got my pills and even though I never stopped throwing up completely because of heartburn, it was better. Now I ran out of pills again. Called the doctor’s office to get a prescription 2 days ago but the nurse never returned my call. Thing is that I spoke to them again today but I have to wait and see if the doctor makes it back to the office today so he can approve it. I’ve been taking my Phenergan meanwhile but they stopped working a long time ago. I’ve been throwing up a lot as you can imagine and don’t even know what to eat anymore. I don’t want to end up in the hospital again until Monday that the doctor comes in for sure. I just wish they would keep me in the hospital with an i.v. and medication none stop so that I never throw up again or that the doctor takes the baby out allready. It has messed up my throat so much that sometimes blood comes out too and it’s VERY painfull. I drink lots of water and try to eat crakers, bread, fruits, etc but there is NO controling it. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like it’s something serious, even though it is pregnancy related. But when you are this sick you just feel like you’re dying! I cry because I can’t handle it anymore and I don’t know what to do. Please help me. I can’t take it any longer! I feel like no one understands how horrible I feel and I’m desperate, miserable and feel like I’m slowly drying even though I know I’m not.
Sorry I wrote so much.
By me saying I would like the doctor to take her out allready doesn’t mean I will do something on my behalf to make it happend. 1st of, 2nd educate yourself because at this stage baby is strong enough to survive. You’re not in my shoes and you do not know what this feels like. Nobody understand because nobody feels like I do. I would never do anything to hurt my baby and I do want to keep her in as long as I have too. I just wish I didn’t have too because I’m too weak allready!
I am asking for advice on what can I do to feel better. If I wanted the baby out allready I wouldn’t be here asking you people, I would be in the hospital trying to get her out!!! I don’t mind my own child inside my body, the pains, the stretching, doesn’t bother me. What I am having a hard time dealing with has been the severe vomiting!!!! Gosh you people just make me upset!!

I can relate to what you are going through. I went through the EXACT thing with all three of my children. I gave birth to my oldest throwing up. I threw up from the second I found out I was pregnant until the day I gave birth. All day everyday. I couldnt even keep down water.I was hospitalized so many times. With my son they started me on phengham and it worked for about a month then it just lost its effect that’s when they gave me Zofran and it worked but my union would only pay for 12 a month instead of the twice a day my doc wanted me on. I grew so weak from throwing up and I was so tired of being in and out the hospital with iv’s and what not.I tried to buy the zofran but good lord they were expensive so I too just suffered. With my last child they put me back on zofran….But it did not work and my body grew so weak I gave birth at just 26weeks my daughter spent the next 3 months in the hospital. So I completely understand where you are coming from. One tip I can give you that worked on occasion was this try a peppermint or gum when you start to feel queasy or a little salt in your hand directly on your Tounge…yes it sounds crazy but it worked a little bit for me and maybe it will get you through these last few weeks. I wish you so much luck and PLEASE do not let any of the people on here posting negative comments make you feel bad.
for the smarty pants that said the baby would be in NICU for two months you are WRONG I am a nurse and a baby is considered full term from 36 weeks on which she will be on tuesday….babies are induced to be delivered as early as 32 weeks as long as the amnio comes back positive for lung function on the baby so if you do not know what you are talking about maybe you should find out FIRST before trying to make this poor woman feel worse than she already does.I myself was in the same situation and was so weak and frail from hyper emesis (throwing up excessively) that my child came early. When a woman is pregnant she is going through a lot of negativity is NOT what anyone needs!So as my granny would say if you dont have anything nice to say…..dont say anything at all.
So, how are you going to feel when your infant is in the NICU fighting for it’s life for 4 or more weeks?
HANG ON IN THERE.
I feel so sorry for you that you have it so bad. I hope you get better xx
Lots of mommies feel this way at some point during pregnancy. I have 3 beautiful children and I felt that way with all of them. At a certain point you’re just ready to be done.
It will be over before you know it. Hang in there!
I’m not sure what you want to get out of posting this….it seems you just wanted to get this off your chest and maybe find someone thats going thru the same thing……..but really all you can do is just wait it out…you have a few more weeks….just put up with i suppose…otherwise…your doctor is the only one who can do anything for you
I feel for you girl. I drank Di-Gel straight from the bottle. It helped a little. Then, I figured out that the pre-natal vitamins were too stong for me so I started taking chewable vitamins. That helped too. Also, eat rice. The rice seems to help absorb a lot of stomach acid. I hope this helps. It just seems like so much false advertisement that they say morning sickness. I had morning, noon and night sickness too. Hang in there - it will all be over soon and you can guilt her in about 25 years about all that you went through to bring her into this world ?
hi,
i feel so sorry for you im also 36 weeks this tuesday coming and ive had nothing like this the only thing i can say is if it was me i would go bk to the hospital and not leve till they gave me something hospitals can perscibe medicines, or say i feel weak and i need something any thing sorry if this isnt much help but at least you are nearly there and not at 20 weeks just keeping counting down the days hun
I feel so sorry that you have had to deal with the morning sickness for this long! I had horrible horrible vomiting for about the first 18 weeks ( and wanted to die).
I know that you have probably already been told everything i could offer from your doc.
Your baby will be here soon! I’m 37 weeks 5 days and am counting her down now!
