Name: NadiaG Title: Anyone else battling "normal" pregnancy symptoms?

Hi,

Sick of doctors saying "dont worry its normal."
Its easy to say the torture of morning sickness is normal, the cramps are normal, the inhuman feeling you body is going through! its not bl**dy normal.

How about giving me some advice on how to treat it? how to make it go away?
Dont say its NORMAL!!! ?

Doctors tell you everything is normal, and it might be normal in that you and your baby are not at risk. It doesn't mean it doesn't suck. . .It is gross to be bloated, gassy, nauseous and starving, to feel your pelvis is spliting open everytime you take a step, to be so tired all you want to do is sleep, to have heartburn that makes you want to cry even when all you had was water. Being pregnant sucks. It sucks more because your doctor tells its its normal, you are fine like you are a big whiny jerk. . .I hope you feel better. Frequent small meals and saltines are supposed to help with the morning sickness. Skipping meals makes it worse, but if you feel it is putting you and your baby at risk talk to your doctor. If your doctor is still dismissive get a new doctor, because you are going to have concerns for the whole of your pregnancy and you need someone who will listen and give thoughtful responses so the whole experience is less horrible. =

]]]ParanoidPreggo: Great Response. :)

Dont worry we all go through this to :) I for one have about a million posts on here asking if things are normal or not. And this is my second child. So hang in there, you will find your own way of getting through things and how to make things better. And if your concern about something just ask but 9 times out of 10 it is just normal. Good Luck Sweety!! =
