I am still quite new to this forum so bear with me
I have a friend who got pregnant about 6 months after I did. She heard my severe morning sickness stories, or atleast some of them. Then she got pregnant and it turned out that she is just not that 'sick type' , she didn't throw up once, she didn't even feel sick. From that point I've always felt that from what she said that she thinks of me as somebody who's constantly whining and complaining, while it's nothing really. It made and still makes me feel awful. People just don't understand what it means to be so sick like this. Everybody thinks that I am just whining and nobody really takes me seriously. It makes me feel so alone. None of my friends been through this type of sickness, one of them was miserable but she wasn't sick for the whole time and she didn't puke as much either. I feel so isolated because everybody thinks that I am just lazy and I want to get extra caring - or even worse, everybody tries to talk into our lives now, thinking that surely I have some emotional problem or hardship in my private life, and they need to solve that, because that's what makes me sick. Grr! I have no problems, I live in a very happy marriage, and the only thing that is my problem is that I am house bound and nobody cares nor understands, I am by myself all day with a 5 months old and I need to take care of her, and I can't even leave our house's upstairs because everything smells terrible on the first floor (there's the kitchen, but it makes all the livign room, etc. terribly smelly, and nobody else can feel it.)
Ok sorry for venting I just hate it so much when people think that it's me who can't put up with such little things in this life like a little bit of nausea..they think they're strong but they've never experienced sickness like this...arghhh..
Sorry for vent..
