Pregnant and struggling

Hey lovelies! Im a currently 15 weeks and struggling. I don’t know what to do most days or who to talk to. This is my first pregnancy and I’m 28. I found out this week that I have a lot of large fibroids in my uterus. And I haven’t been able to eat or stay hydrated or walk some days. If anyone has had this issue please advise a woman on what to do. It’s starting to weigh on me. I have a very support family system and partner but this is new for them too. Thank you in advance. ❤️

I recommend eating jelly and ice cream that’s the only food I could get down without throwing up.

Are you not able to eat and drink because of morning sickness/nausea? It might help to talk to your doctor about getting morning sickness medication. From 4 weeks to about 8 weeks, I was in that boat, it's better now that I'm on medication. It's definitely not easy at all to go through. I also ended up in the hospital and getting fluids through an iv as I was dehydrated, I wish the best of luck❤️

Also fruit!! I couldn't eat enough fruit. It was one of the only things I could eat that would stay down,

Im not really having morning sickness symptoms. I think my fibroids are just sitting on my stomach and I don’t feel hungry or thirst ever. I am basically just trying to eat because I know I’m starving without feeling it. I was thinking of going to the hospital but I didn’t know if it was necessary now. I have lost a lot of weight though. 😬

Plus I have pretty bad stomach pain which makes me not really focus on other things and it’s hard to get out the bed. I’m pretty sure I will be on bed rest soon.

Do you know how much weight you've lost? If your losing more than 10% of your pre pregnancy weight, than you should go into the hospital, that's what I read when I was sick a couple weeks ago, because I also lost weight, but it was only about 5 pounds. It's better to be safe than sorry especially when pregnant! It's my first time so I was nervous and went to the hospital like 3 times in a week haha

I have lost almost 20 lbs as of today. I saw that too so I probably should go soon. I have an appointment on Monday. So I was trying to wait until.

Hey don’t be afraid to go to the hospital for fluids. I’m chronically ill and 16weeks, just spent a week with the flu then a week in hospital for a flare. Feeling much better now. Modern medicine exists for a reason, and it’s ok to use it!!
