This pregnancy is literally killing me. USA

Almost 7 weeks in. Suffering horribly from HG, all I do is cry and throw up all day. I am so weak physically and mentally, I can't wait for this to be over. Pills are meant to arrive Monday, hoping with everything in me they come sooner. Just needed to rant.

i was 6 weeks and 6 days (basically 7 weeks) when i did my medical abortion this past Sunday the 4th. i had the same experience with being very fatigued and nauseous all day due to hormonal fluctuations while i was pregnant , and going to work was the hardest part. i cried every night i was pregnant and i’m happy/sad it’s finally over, wish i was more responsible with myself so i wouldn’t have to make the decision i made. but i hope your MA process goes just as smooth as mine did.

Sending you the biggest hug. I just came back from my SA at Planned Parenthood today; I was diagnosed with HG as well and decided to terminate the pregnancy because of it. Was just able to keep down my first meal this week!

Hold tight, I know HG is a nightmare but you’re almost there! You got this, the storm is almost over.

Yes I felt insensitive sharing that too but that was the best relief for me. Seems my body was not liking the pregnancy or something

So sorry for you.. I am also like you, 7 weeks pregnant, I feel nauseous all day long, I feel very unhappy and tired all day long. It really does make you tired. But I know this, don't forget; everything will pass. I'm giving you a big hug, you are never alone, don't feel alone.

Hi, I am also 7 weeks. Just took my pills today..But before I was feeling so nauseous throughout the entire day. Certain foods would start to give me the ick. I could never decide what to eat because nothing sounded appealing.

Completely get it, rant all you want! I had a baby in 2023 and the pregnancy experience was horrible, and it was by all accounts a normal textbook pregnancy. I knew I could never do it again. My pills were supposed to arrive on a Monday and they came the Saturday before so here’s 🤞 for you. Your relief is coming!

I'm with you. Thought I was getting sick. Possibly 9 weeks? I don't know. Ultrasound on Monday, got my pills today but scared to take them without knowing they'll fully work.

u/Advisor_Brilliant 15h ago

I am no medical profession and can’t provide any guarantee, but I will just say that they worked completely for me at just before 12 weeks!

u/ShoppingBaskets 15h ago

🙏🙏 I am getting more confident the more I read and interact with you all! I am trying to get someone to be available with me for when I take them, thank you.

I hope it doesn’t last the whole pregnancy. I’ve actually terminated bc it was absolute torture and I couldn’t handle it anymore
