  • Sorry to post such a negative and blugh video, but I found trimester 1 incredibly difficult. I hated being so ill. Which I find difficult to say when the narrative around pregnancy is that you should be so blissfully happy, grateful, and excited.... Especially given that this is our 5th pregnancy! But still, being honest, it was hard!

    I'm thinking of you Meg. This is some hard shit. I'm so amazed by how much you've learned on your life journey. Well done my friend. You have pushed and are pushing through some tough stuff. And so much love as well. Pregnancy is such an intense full body roller coaster experience. Emotional and physical, and all over the place. You're doing the best you can. Everything you have described makes total sense. No need to apologise ever for any of this. It's reality. Thank you for sharing :)

    I really (really!) appreciate focusing on the negative parts of pregnancy - because it is SO romanticized everywhere! I am still continuously surprised with new information about what happens during a pregnancy (and i am thirty years old), that nobody talks about because pregnancy is some sort of glorified saintly condition a woman can be in that is "so beautiful" (and i won't go into the sexism behind it but it is definitely there). The true struggle and *work* it takes to get through is important to know, both so you know what you're getting yourself into if you want to get pregnant, but also for your partner and people surrounding you to know beforehand what you actually will be sacrificing and burdened with - not just some pretty fairytale of becoming some sort of glowing and pure fairytale-creature.
    Thank you!

    I really appreciated the realness of this video. I've not been pregnant, but I know that (hopefully) when I am, like regardless of pregnancy symptoms, it's going to be awful for me because of my chronic illnesses (+my ED history), and I just know I'm going to have these conflicting emotions about it, being so grateful and happy that it's happening and also feeling like I'm dying 🙃 I always really appreciate when people are honest about it and not sugar coating the whole experience because I know it's gunna help me when it's my time.

    You feel whatever you feel. This is your journey and cant be compared to anyone else's. Please dont feel guilty for not being able to bounce around with joy, not only are you suffering with sickness but understandably, its an anxiety provoking time with everything you've already faced. Just keep doing what you're doing to get you through the day xxx

    I have so much compassion for you! You have been through so much in life and in the past two years with the losses you’ve experienced.
    From an emotional perspective, I can totally understand the inability to bond with the babe. Firstly, if you’re ill, it IS hard to experience happy emotions (any emotions at all). Secondly, after the loss of infants, I think there is a part of us (or me at least) that is unconsciously unable to feel like the pregnancy was real/finding it really hard to bond. Maybe something to do with preserving ourselves emotionally.
    Physically, the first trimester is so hard, and you specifically have quite severe morning sickness. Mine was not nearly so bad or prolonged. I’ve had to take progesterone in pregnancy (we did embryo adoption…so similar to IVF), and, yes, feeling super hot and sweaty throughout pregnancy.
    I think all you are experiencing is so valid, and my heart just goes out to you that you’ve not been able to share with others. Don’t feel guilty for those feelings. They’re normal. You are an incredibly strong individual for having persevered despite all life has thrown at you. I wish you all the best in this life. You are a gem!

    Love love love this! ❤ I'm pregnant and in recovery from an eating disorder. It's really hard. There's hardly anyone that understands. Alot of people are commenting on my body and although I'm doing really well in recovery, some things feel really triggering and take me by surprise. This is such a great example of life after an eating disorder. Sending you so much love Megsy ❤

    You’re allowed to say pregnancy is horrendous - for some women, it really is. I’m not, and never have been, pregnant. I would love more than anything to have a baby, but I’m having to accept that’s not going to happen for me. I’m telling you this because I want you to know that it’s ok to be honest about how things are, regardless of how ‘lucky’ you may feel to be pregnant. Other people’s circumstances don’t invalidate your experiences or emotions. I apologise if I com over as patronising; that’s not my intention at all. You and Bren have been through hell over the last 18 months. I’m so, SO happy for you, and love that you feel able to share this journey, and to be honest about the good and the bad. Much love xx

    When I was pregnant with my twins I remember how often I had to lie down on the floor while making a simple meal. It was horrible. I was exhausted 😩 I think I was sleeping in a dark room for most of my day for 4 months.
    When I saw the clip of you laying on the floor it brought back some memories.
    Thanks for sharing. And you’re not alone. Being pregnant is hard and can be really shitty form time to time 🙈

    Meg, you guys have been through so much heartache, feelings being all over the place is ok. My sickness was helped with blackcurrant Ribena and Walkers ready salted! Pregnancy is all over social media portrayed as perfect bumps and happiness but actually in reality it’s bloody hard work & exhausting. Thank you for making such an honest video about pregnancy. Sending lots of love xxx

    I’m in the same boat! I am in recovery, had a previous pregnancy loss and now I’m 23 weeks pregnant and I still can’t help but have worry or guilt that I’m not as excited as others because I have such fear. So grateful for you and your vlog. It means so much to me to know I’m not alone. ❤️

    @felicitytaylor1868 2 года назад +1

    Wow! Raw and invaluable - Thankyou for exposing yourself, your past pain and the current ups-and-downs so generously and candidly. I am not (nor have I ever been pregnant - not sure if that’s ever even gonna be a possibility given ED history) but I find the incessant nausea and constant drive to eat echoes my current experience and sentiment in early recovery and weight gain. Similarly the personality/psychological issues you mention like brain fog and blank-slated feelings… idk if that’s normal or not in non-pregnancy situations when recovering from an ED but it sure was good to see that I’m not alone and that even if I’m just growing myself, rather than growing another human at the same time like you are, the experience is common even if the causes aren’t. I very much look forward to following the rest of this journey with you and Bren and send you all love and strength!!

    Firstly, thaaaank you so much Megsy for being very honest and open about your experience being/whilst pregnant. I too don't know why most woman don't share the whole thing about being pregnant)for those who are being with struggle in pain like nausea, aches, tiredness, groin pain, brain frog..etc....I know I wouldn't know because I'm not pregnant but making more known would be much helpful especially for those who are planning on doing so..like you shared here. I get you don't want to scare but it does open door into understanding and what may likely happen. I didn't even know most of it. I know everyone is different but I guess it could happen to most. But I appreciate you being so honest and just taking the time recording it when you are really ill atm, ooh gosh. Its kinda of odd but I am often dealing with nausea, pain, feeling I'll basically and as you describe all this I can just understand it. Not that I'm trying to minimize your situation because you are pregnant and your pain is yours, I apologize for that.. but when you talk about feeling almost numb and not much of interest in others thing and needing to lye down uugh yes...Im like that. Its like sickness just completely changes you. It does suck because, like you shared, it makes you feel bad for not feeling great with nice/wonderful moments but it reality. Ugh...I'm so sorry I want to give you anything that will heal you from this and your leg, groin pain... 🤗 But I now understand you more about this all...more and more as you open up about your thoughts, feelings and struggles...you have grown so much even just doing exactly what you need to do whilst being very nauseous...recovery is a choice. So you choosing that and choosing bring another life is sooooo beautiful, strong and heart warming. I love you loads Megsy. 🖤 🍽️ 🧀 💕 🗣️ 🛌🤰🌱🐾🍞🥪🏡🎥🧸🍼

    Thank god! A great video about all the realities of pregnancy, and having an ED gives another dimension on top of it. I felt all of the symptoms you have now, throughout my whole pregnancy, with my girl. I also feel I had the same experiences, with people telling you how to feel, how you should feel, what to do, what not to do, with some shaming thrown in too. I wish I had this video when I was pregnant, because I feel I suffered a lot, with eating, depression and generally trying to survive pregnancy and working at the same time. I gained a lot of weight during pregnancy and I felt so bad, even though everything was ok. I also have epilepsy, and taking my medication made me eat twice the amount recommended, so I was made to feel bad that my baby was big, even though me and my husband are tall so it makes sense my daughter would be a big baby. The experience has definitely made me not want another child, not soon anyway. I am happy I had her, but the pregnancy experience was not anything I had thought it would be. I can relate, for sure, especially about feeling like an empty husk of a person.

    Thank you. I’m 33 weeks with, prior to pregnancy, active AN. I’ve been nauseous and vomiting for the whole time (but still able to work!), which has been so so hard with the ED. It’s been so hard, but letting my body take over and my disordered brain take a break has been the most liberating thing. Thank you so much for sharing this and your experiences

  • @Lindsay48481
    @Lindsay48481 2 года назад

    I can relate to 99% of this. I am 34 weeks and still sick. It just never went away. I had hyperemesis with my first two pregnancies but it went away by about half way. I didn’t have it this time but I was still bed ridden until mid 20’s. It really is miserable. It’s so hard seeing the world just keep going while it’s all I can do to walk around my house. I don’t have any tips but it always helped me to just relate to someone. It’s ok to just be straight up miserable. It’s ok to feel nothing. It’s ok to not be positive! You’ll be back to “normal” one day! Praying over y’all and your sweet baby and I hope you end up feeling better soon ❤️

    I so so hope your nausea and vertigo and feeling so awful ends ASAP. I've not been pregnant so have no way your experience,but I had a horrendous 14 day sickness thing 2019 and it was awful. My heart aches for you being in this nightmare state for even a day, let alone weeks. On top of that, with your hormonal stuff, the breathlessness, physical touch sensitivity...OMG, I just can't imagine what you're going through. I'm so sorry. Pleeeeease, try not to feel guilt for how negative you're feeling. It is absolutely understandable. Please be so do kind to you. P.s. when I was ill...yes, dry stuff and cheese was what I could face....I ended up with weird things like salt and vinegar crisps with salad cream and grated cheese sprinkled on top?!?! But you have to just go with it don't you, to ensure we don't fall into energy deficit again. Sending so much love and an end to nausea and sll the symptoms. Xxxx

    @nataliakriskova6530 2 года назад

    No, this is not a negative and blugh video. This is the reality of true life at times. You're so courageous and strong. I've been following you for several months now (silently) and I only know about your life what you've shared here and on Instagram. But this time I wanted to write something and share a bit of my small experience, even if it will not change anything to your life ;-)
    About pregnancy, oh my god, I can relate to every detail of what you're explaining here -- even if my story is not as dramatic (no stillborn baby, but seven years to give birth to a unique baby, with ART, after 4 ICSIs and also some miscarriages...). At the beginning of my pregnancy, I got a new job at the university 350 km away from where I was living at that time. I had to take the bus, then the train, to teach sometimes six hours straight away, then sleep in a hotel, completely alone, and go back home at the end of the week. I couldn't take any break from work, I had to do it, period. I was miserable during a bit more than the 1st trimester. The nausea was incoercible, 24/7 for more than 12 weeks as well... and I had to eat all the time to avoid nausea to get worse, even if everything tasted awful apart from cheese, bread, and pickled vegetables. I could not eat any sugary things not even fruits. I have also an ED history... So I had to work and travel. When I wasn't, I remember just being able to lie -- I prepared my courses mostly in my bed. Oddly enough, there was only one thing that took nausea temporarily completely away: when I was teaching... I was so scared and stressed in front of the students because it was a completely new job for me... All this being hormonal, I suppose that a big shot of adrenaline and cortisol were taking over my entire body and managed to "kill" nausea and all the associated symptoms (brain fog, numbness, etc.). As soon as class was over, I was sick to death again. It has been one of the worst time of my life. I never went pregnant again because I didn't manage to do all this again with ART but sure I would have been scared to cope with such a sickness again, even if the joy of having a baby outweighs everything. I know that you're currently over 5 or maybe 6 months pregnant and still sick at times. You suffered so much and I'm so sorry for you. May you have at least some peaceful months of pregnancy now, after all these difficult times. I wish you and Bren a beautiful baby and endless family happiness. As you say, all this will be over one day. Courage.

I vomited all times if the day and nothing helped. I am so sorry that this is happening to you but you make it, my dear lady. Thank you for sharing all this information because I am sure there are lots of people being helped. Bless you sweetheart 🥰

    Aww Meg I am I awe of you!
    Thank-you for sharing such real honest content, it’s a refreshing watch and so helpful!
    I think you are right, people should share the more difficult parts of their journeys so that people watching feel less alone and it removes the shame stigma which ultimately fuels the guilt.
    You are doing a fantastic job at highlighting the challenges of pregnancy and eating disorders, it’s a subject that isn’t spoke about very often so you sharing your experience is invaluable!
    Lastly, I know this is probably not very helpful but I just thought I would share RE the conflict of feeling around the new baby and Alfie, I spoke to my mum about it who has experienced 2 still births herself.
    She asked me to tell you a quote that helped her when she had children post her still born babies as she experienced an overwhelming sensation of guilt also.
    She told me to tell you that a mother’s love is not finite. You don’t need to love any of your babies more or less, love just keeps growing and it’s all the same. So you will have the same love for your new baby that you have had for Alfie, nobody gets more of less love. It doesn’t matter how much time you spend with them, your love for each and every one of your children is unconditionally, equal and never ending ❤️
    I am sure this is something you already know, I just thought it might be helpful to share? You share so many helpful things so I thought I would try.
    Sending you all the best wishes in the world 🥰

    Soooo true! I am 10.5 weeks and feel horrendous like you. Constantly tired and nauseous even with meds. I spoke to the doc at the ED place as she arranged a check up just to check in. And I just kept saying I don't want to moan because I am so happy or at least it isn't as bad as this person that person eg those with HG. But she was like you are allowed to feel happy whilst feeling upset and down because it is so hard. It's just so hard right? Honestly every time I have a rant or vent I feel guilty and then worry being like that will mean baby doesn't survive so I constantly follow it with I am so so happy and just want baby to be okay. But yes it is shite at the same time. Just relentless for weeks and weeks!

    Also as someone who had her baby 21 years ago before the internet and having a friend have a baby a few years ago. I witnessed how damaging these apps are, especially with a history of an ED. My advice would be delete all apps, try and find a good old fashioned pregnancy book. You’re under enough pressure without having an app butt in and tell you what to do, eat or feel. Keep listening to your body, you’re doing great ❤️❤️❤️

    Thanks for sharing this Meg. It’s so so hard being pregnant after any loss but no one talks about it. You feel so alone being anxious and stressed when everyone thinks you should be happy all the time. I really relate to the nausea too. I was never actually sick but always nauseous unless I ate. Really weirdly kombucha helped me and sweet juice as well as crisps 🙌 love crisps. I really hope you feel better as your pregnancy progresses and don’t feel bad at all, it’s so helpful to talk about this.

  • @JillyC5

    Oh Meg.. I did not suffer the losses that you have, and can't imagine the complicated feelings that brings up, but my first pregnancy was so bad. I felt sick 24/7 until I was gone 5 months. It was just pure misery. It made me wonder how women do it when they already have a family to look after. I did have a second pregnancy which was so different I thought I was having a girl, but no - two boys!

  • @emmabarrett9951
    @emmabarrett9951 2 года назад

    Just wanted to reassure you it's totally normal, especially in 1st trimester, to feel constantly hungry. Eat whatever your body is telling you to eat whenever you want. I got lots of cravings during my first pregnancy, not really many with second one. If you haven't already, try mint sweets or ginger biscuits, they helped with my nausea when i was pregnant. The travel sickness wristbands also helped me, if you're able to get hold of any where you are. I hope you start to feel better soon. I hate seeing you go through this you are so lovely❤

    I take progesterone myself for other reasons, but it can cause many (mostly harmless) side effects which are quite similar to pregnancy symptoms (nausea, mood swings, bloating, water retention, etc), since it's a female hormone that your body produces when pregnant. Especially the first three months you take it. Then your body gets used to it and it all gets better. I think your situation is completely normal, bear in mind that the first three months I was taking progesterone, I had to wash my armpits all the time because they kept getting smelly ahahahah
    it was awful, I think I spent hours and hours washing myself. Then it disappeared all of a sudden. Hormones are weird

    I am 6 weeks pregnant right now and feeling miserable. I have an historic of anorexia so it’s sooo hard. I don’t throw up, I just have non stop nausea. It’s horrible and I feel so depressed.

    THANK YOU for sharing this😇 thanks for normalizing the shitty bits of pregnancy. And I guess your ED mantra can be adjusted to fit this area of life: "Feeling shit and being grateful anyways"😅 Yes having a baby is a blessing and you want it with all fibres of your being, but the process to get there is hard - and that is okay.

    Thank you for sharing your experience even if it's not being the happiest one. I think a lot of people thin of it as the happiest moment in a woman's life overlooking everything we have to go through (both mentally and physically) specially with a background of mental illness. Lots of hugs to you! Also, about the progesterone you mentioned, i take birth control pills with progesterone, and the first couple of months i had the same symptoms! 😫 Even in the middle of winter months i would wake up drenched in sweat!

    Girlie I completley understand. I had Hyperemesis Gravidarum w my daughter. The whole pregnancy since I was 6 weeks pregnant soooo nauseated, 24/7. I couldnt eat hardly anything, or frink much at all or I would vomit. It then spiraled into my 6 year eating disorder since the meds they put me on when I was pregnant w her for the sickness so she could gain weight since I couldnt eat I also couldnt gain any weight. That ended up messing w the HCL pump in my stomach. And then turned into the rigid rules and the brainwashing ideas that food=pain and sickness. Shes 6 years old now and I am coming up on my 1 year of recovery in Feb! Hold in there Meg, just like you said, it doesnt last forever. ♥

    I was pregnant for about 7 or 8 weeks. If I get pregnant it doesn't last long. I had the hiccups and the hot flashes and night sweats. The hiccups never went away and that was ten years ago. I have hiccups must days and they hurt. The hot flashes and night sweats were the worst thing because I was so hot and sweaty I struggled to wear shoes and clothes. I felt like it was 120°F everywhere I went and all the time. I have never heard anyone talk about the sweating and hotflashes in pregnancy before. Now I know I am not the only one.

    I so deeply relate to this droopy sideways-ness and sleeping on the floor of wherever you are. That's been my life cause of long covid instead of a baby lol but yeah, very relatable.

    You should ask if you could be suffering Hyperemesis Gravidarum from using that extra hormone stuff they have you on? I am no doctor, but you could ask? My pregnancy was like yours and I did not have that, and I feel deeply sorry for you. I know how debilitating it can be. After everything you have been through though I have no doubt that you are one tough lady who will make it through. Love from Canada.

    The reason I want to recover after being anorexic on off for 25 years is bc I want to be a mom,and also restore my health as much as possible not sure if I make it not sure how fat I will end out but im not that young anymore so it will be my only chance...
