Really am sick of this illness i cant sleep even with 6 pillows i wake up with vertigo all i want is to sleep im 31 weeks pregnant i would love to have my baby cut out so i can kill myself just so i can sleep in peace and be free of this illness but shes not developed enough to come out im so fed up
Oh no Don’t say that. Nothing is that bad… I’ve been pretty low lately but our babies need us. Once baby arrives and you can take lots of medicine to help you feel better things will seem better. Nothing compares to the relief and joy at seeing your new baby arriving safe and sound. This illness steals alot from us- don’t let it destroy this too. Contact the hospital and see that they say… Mind yourself. Sleep well, eat well, drink fluids - all help dizziness. Take care L xxx
you must be totally exhausted,i know i was when i was pregnant with my daughter,i had just been diagnosed 4 months when i fell pregnant,i remember it all too well,are you getting any support from family ?
i hope so,try to focus on the good things,you wont be pregnant forever,it helps talking about it too,if you have no one to listen to you, phone the ms helpline,they are good at listening.
eatin well and staying properly hydrated can help with the exhaustion,too.

Oh no have you spoken to ms society helpline or samaritans about how bad you are feeling? I think if you are considering ending your own life you need to speak to someone urgently. You could contact emergency doctor too as they may be able to give you something to help with the vertigo that is safe in pregnancy Please speak to someone your babies need you Xxx
I’m so sad that you feel that way at the moment, but hopefully it is just for the moment. MS is bl**dy awful and vertigo is the pits and from what I remember about being pregnant is that in the last weeks I felt really exhausted and just wanted it over with. That was without ms and without vertigo. Like the previous poster says, rest and take care. Do you have people around you to help you.? Have you made plans for the birth yet? Have you thought of names? I hope the vertigo goes and you can then look forward to meeting your baby. Tell your dr or ms nurse how bad it is then they can help. Just lots of hugs and hang on in there. I have my daughter, and she may hate me for her name, (doesn’t every kid hate everything when they’re 14) but she’s my best friend now Hugs. Lynn
Oh dear. You sound so low.
Like anon said you will feel much better when baby is born and you can take meds to help you sleep and help to make you feel better, It can be uncomfortable enough being pregnant and not being able to sleep without the MS to deal with.
Have you got family to help you through this?
I would definitely contact your GP or speak with the MS Helpline below just to get some advice on how to get through these bad times.
You have so much to look forward to with your little daughter coming along soon. Not long to go now eh? The the meds will help.
Take care.
Hope you can sleep better soon.

Thanks for replies i had a good cry and got it out of my system a bit i was taking medication but had to stop when i got to 28 weeks pregnant as not good for baby i never had such a problem with vertigo before i got to about 12 weeks pregnant i got vertigo when looking up to the sky but that was it it seems to happen when i drift off to sleep no matter what position my head is i went to the doctors a few weeks ago and asked if there was anything i could take to help and they said no as cant take anything in third trimester i suppose ill have to get on with it and take medication after baby born which i didnt want to do as means she cant have my breast milk x
Just remember that we are always here for you whenever you need a chat.
I couldn’t breast feed my first baby as he was poorly. He has turned out absolutely fine on formula milk. I missed breast feeding him but he didn’t suffer for it.
Glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better after a cry. Sometimes we need a cry to get things out.
