Comments on: The one about the overdose. http://mooshinindy.com/2007/11/19/the-one-about-the-overdose/ one stink, dozens of different ways.

(s) don't seem concerned, even though I am barely 4 months and have lost 15 lbs. I hear the saltine stuff too. I am being brushed off. Supposedly, if "it was bad enough, I would have been in the hospital already." Well for two weeks I had a headache, cotton-mouth and was puking bile, and could not drink water, and I was not aware that it was not normal until my husband pointed it out me. Every doctor says "saltines" to me. Even after diagnosis, no treatment, i.e. pills, have worked and I was told to "tough it out." I feel so bad you had to go through that. I al so glad that you and your beautiful baby are here today. I have no idea what I am going to do, it SUCKS to feel like you have the flu for your whole pregnancy.

Last night I nearly checked myself into a hosptial to avoid taking the pills. I have gone from thinking "one week at a time" to "one day" to "one hour" and today I spent minute by minute not taking the pills. After reading this, I realise I can't even check myself in for my baby's protection. There is nothing really I can do. I used to ask for help - but it has all but gotten me fired for being crazy, my family are tired of hearing about it and my poor husband is right on the edge of being able to cope. I am withdrawing into myself and am really worried that I will be in your situation soon. I hate being pregnant. I hate people who judge me for that. But mostly, I hate myself for being like this.

Things like this are never easy to admit. I frequently wonder how being pregnant will affect me, and can only imagine how hard it must have been for you. You are truly amazing for sharing this.

What a wonderful post. My doctor wouldn't listen to me when I was pregnant and in fact would chide me for not gaining weight all while I was shouting in his face that phenergan was not working. I felt so guilty that I had wanted the pregnancy so badly but feeling that bad every day was seriously making me re-think my choice, I even joked a few times about termination and not one single person took me seriously, they all poo-poo-ed it and told me it would get better. I never ignore "jokes" that people make anymore, there is usually a lot of truth behind it. <abbr><em>Duchess / Jenns last blog post..<a href="http://duchess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/04/wordless-wednesday-purple-for-maddie.html" rel="nofollow">Wordless Wednesday: Purple For Maddie</a></em></abbr> Like Gaby, I found you via Maddie and twitter.

That Post made me cry a river at work - beautiful post. Then "Superpowers of Motherhood" made me smile. So true and I'm still in the beginning. And now this post has made you so real. I was there. Not completely, but close. Thank you for being real.

I am you. And what happened to you is like looking into an alternate world where I made different choices. Thank you so much for giving this story to me. I am only 4 months pregnant, but I have been deathly sick. There have been thoughts of not wanting to be pregnant anymore, deep depression, and sometimes even suicide. My husband is in the Army...he's gone. I'm finally coming around for the better. And I would not have gone the direction you ended up. But being severely depressed and not eating enough(to the point of being taken to the Emergency Room) the part in the story that made me cry and changed my life was the ending. It rings in my ears as eternal joy: He came out perfectly healthy, perfectly healthy. That brings me all the comfort and hope I'll ever need for my baby. "SALTINES. It’s hard for me, to this day to walk past the boxes of Saltines at the grocery store without knocking them all off the shelves and stomping on them repeatedly." --And everybody say: AMEN!!!!-- This post just changed my life.

I am you.
