finally admitting i need help

So I am putting my needs on the back burner sincegubby isn't feeling well. We have had him in a dentist chair every day this week so far. An oral surgeon is pulling a tooth today. I think I am overly dehydrated. I am dizzy all the time to the point I am afraid to drive....but have to drive him home. Water is making me nauseous even with the zofran. I need help, but need hubbys at 100% before I feel like I can lean on him. I need to admit it to someone and I am not ready to admit it to his family. They tend to be overly bearing. My family isnot around due to my parents being snow birds. Am I doing the right thing by getting him better?

Try preggie pops. They help me out a lot . Even if stress is causing the tummy upset... I don't mean to laugh bit I never heard a doctor calling a baby a parasite.. that's a new one for me

Oh yah...ice tried carbonated drinks, juice, ext....literally the only thing I can have that doesn't make me sick is milk. Doesn't help keep me hydrated though.

Have you tried drinking ginger ale, Sprite, Sierra Mist or something like that? Water is hard on your stomach when nauseous and these usually stay down better. Just stir them up a little to lessen the carbonation cause some people can't handle the carbonation when nauseous.

I'm not worried about baby. It's a parasite as my doc explained. There is enough nutrients for baby at the cost of me. I will play things out, and by ear. Thanks for your feedback.

There's nothing wrong with taking care of your hubby, but please make sure you take care of yourself and the baby first.

Yes you are but you still need to take care of you. Drink up and rest. Maybe have someone else take him for the day. Husband babysitters are good to have some times. Follow your gut.
