worried I'm not strong enough

Hey ladies I am 10w 5d first baby. I can't take the neusea anymore. I have been to the hospital twice not able to keep anything down. I am scared I'm not a strong enough person to handle this. I have never felt so sick and it doesn't go away. All that helps is to sleep. Any encouraging words for this first time mom?

I'm not trying to worry you trust me lol. I was sick the whole time with my daughter. From around 4 weeks to birth. All I did was sleep. When I laid eyes on her though it was all worth it. I thought I also wasn't going to make it. Most women though calm down in the 2nd trimester though. I just stayed sick some reason. This is my 2nd pregnancy and this one is the complete opposite. Haven't been sick at all except dizzy spells. I have felt sick but haven't actually been sick. It will get better. If sleep helps then sleep. You need the rest anyways.

I'm 13 weeks today and also a FTM. I found out at 3 weeks and was diagnosed with hyperemeis so I know exactly how you feel. I had to get fluids at the hospital and was put on zofran but suddenly last week, I stopped feeling sick. It's been one week. YAY! I think it's because I'm now in the second trimester. You will be ok :)

I used to feel the exact same way at the very beginning I was so sick and everything came back up and I would be sick all day and night. I would literally cry and sometimes even get hysterical because I was so tired of being sick and I felt like I couldn't take it. I did not believe when people said I would feel better soon but ....I'm 15 weeks now and its so much better! I won't say its all the way better but its alot better! I feel like one day around 12-13 weeks I just woke up and I wasn't so sick anymore. It will get better. Hang in there
