Pregnant, flaring and and the life of a military wife.

[Manzyb]

:grumpy:


I'm about 10 weeks pregnant right now. For about 4 weeks my Crohn's seems to just be going crazy. I spend most of my days in the bathroom either having D or vomiting. The second love of my life is going to the gym and getting a good cardio workout in, and the past 3 weeks I haven't been able to go. I've been so damn sleepy I can barely make it from my bed to my couch in the mornings!! I am so sick of being sick I thought pregnant women were suppose to go into remission!!! What's up with that? And... on top of that, my husband is in the USMC and they keep sending him all over the place on all of these training missions and leaving me here. I understand he can't really help that they are doing it, and trust me I am more than grateful he's not going overseas again right now, but I've been taking it out on him really bad. Then this weekend he is going on a fun trip with his buddies golfing and whatever else they are going to do. Is it just too much for him to want to stay home and make me a priority? I always get the backseat to the military. I know he loves me, but he's been working a lot and just wants to have fun. It would just be nice for him to want to stay home and have fun with me while he can, because next week, yep, he's leaving again. Ughh... i guess i'm just feeling sorry for myself. My best friend says I'm being hormonal lol Maybe that's it.

Thanks for reading this if you did! I know it was long and dreadful. (insert pity party here LOL)

I'm sorry you are not feeling good. I think that if venting on this site about your husband helps then go ahead. Remeber that everyone has different ways of dealing with stress. It seems that yours is going to they gym. Mabey his is golf with his friends. Have you told your OB that you are having these problems. I am worried that you are not getting all your nutrients that you need. I wish I could be more help to you. Did you tell him this is how you are feeling?
Just do one day at a time..............
Sorry not much help, but thinking about ya

I agree with Woops - Have you talked with the hubby about how you are feeling? I haven't been pregnanty before and had to deal with a husband in the military who's constantly away. But, I can empathize with how you are feeling about feeling terrible and wanting to spend time with your husband and all he seems to want to do is hang out with friends. I actually have had that talk with him a few times and just recently. Sometimes guys need reminders, unfortunately. They don't always seem to pick up on what we women think are obvious signs of annoyance, haha. He might even just think you're having mood swings related to pregnancy rather than actually missing him and wanting to spend time with him.

He needs to remember that, yeah, he can have fun time with the buddies, but you should be #1 priority - you and the baby! You are not just being hormonal. It's a natural feeling for a wife to want to spend time with her husband!

Maybe you guys could go for a couples massage! Spending time together and getting pampered at the same time!

Thanks guys! I am feeling better today. I did just need to vent it for a minute and compose myself :0) The hubby knows that it bothers me, but I know he really wanted to go on that golfing trip and me trying to be a good wife was trying to not hold that against him! He was suppose to go last year, but he was sent away for training then and didn't get to.

I go see my GI doc in about a week, finally. I am really hoping he can do something to help me out. I am getting to keep some things down and have been taking my prenatals at night before I go to bed so I have been keeping those down too. Some days aren't quite so bad and then others are terrible, we all know how that goes!

I'm about 10 weeks pregnant right now.

Well SUPER YAY FOR THAT!!!

I am sorry you're not doing well with everything else though. The first trimester of pregnancy can make you sooo sleepy, so it's no wonder that you can't get to the gym.
I have heard that 1/3 of people feel better, 1/3 feel worse, and 1/3 stay the same when they are pregnant, so it was really just a crapshoot.
It is totally okay for you to have your own pity party too, and don't feel bad about venting.
I hope you start feeling a bit better!
