Its got to the point now where every morning i wake up amd cry then be sick i feel so ill if it wasnt for my daughter and unborn baby i would kill myself i cant take much more of this just want this relapse over its not fair on my daughter seeing mummy cry every day if im not crying im grumpy because of how i feel
Phone the Helpline Cat, they are brilliant and i have spent hours talking to them, it will help a lot honey. sending lots of hugs and support, xxx
Thanks for reply i rang that last week regarding symptoms they just said speak to your gp which there is no point as theres nothing they can do for me as im nearly 34 weeks pregnant x
Honey, Agree with Smiler101 but if you dont want to ring them again then please keep chatting here, we are all here to help cushion you.
Do you know if you are having Boy/girl? I had a really bad go when I was pregnant with my daughter, I didnt leave the sofa for nearly 10 weeks, it was aweful, and thinking about 2 minutes ahead seemed impossible let alone an hour ahead or a day ahead. My son was 2 at the time and I still cant watch Thomas the tank engine, it makes me feel so sick…lol. I threw up from week 6 til week 40 with both of my kids, I love having them but id rather be in labour for a week than be pregnant again !!. have you had lots of sickness?
Lots of love

Im having a girl just got back from taking my daughter to nursery ive got the ms walk back people noticed and questioned if i was ok as i was so wobbly and i just cried i feel such an idiot
Just spoke to a ms nurse hes sending someone round to assess my balance as its gone again
Glad you spoke to your Nurse, thats good that they are sending someone round, Sounds like we could do a little M.S dance together, im walking just the same, I always wanted to stick a couple of empty bottles in my pocket as an added effect to my horrendous stagger when I used to to my little ones to school, gets them talking . Oh a little girl, scrummy. Dont worry about crying, I cried this morning as well, admittidly I was alone apart from the two ponies staring at me, My son was ment to cut a bale for me last night so I could put some hay in for them but he must have forgot, I was so tired from just walking the 10ft across the barn that the thought of scootering back to the house to fetch scissors was to much, then I fell over in a puddle, luckly I had my water proof trousers on, so i just knelt there for a while , sobbing and wishing I didnt live in the country and didnt have animals. but I do really love them and they make me get up in the morning.
Im sorry its so rubbish for you at the moment, it will get better love. My kids are 14 and 17 now, seems a long time ago that they were little. do you know when they are coming to assess you?. is there anyone that can help at home.
Much love

When the ms nurse comes, as well as the balance, tell them everything so they get the bigger picture,
Hoping they are able to help you (((((hugs))))))

Hi catmummy,
You are having an awfull time, I hope you manage to get some help from somewhere soon.
I don’t know whether anyone has mentioned eary delivery of your baby due to your poor health?
I was so ill with my second pregnancy (pre ms diagnosis), mainly sickness, dizziness, fatigue and subsequent crushing depression that I was offered an induction at 37 weeks. I actually lost weight. I too had a toddler to look after, and thought of self-harming far too frequently.
I had a great GP,midwife and obstitrician, and a large baby! I eventually decided against it and went 10 days over! And still ended up being induced. My beautifull daughter weighed in at 10lb 5 & 3/4oz!
Could it be something that may be an option for you?
Wishing you the very best

Hi noone has mentioned that ive got a consultant appointment next week about csection i dont think id do that as if baby ends up in special care necause shes early id never forgive myself also theres mo guaremtee ill get netter after shes born the ms nurse said it could last 12 weeks x
I’m thinking of you. I know it’s easier said than done but please try to stay positive and look forward to seeing your little baby. Sending you a massive hug xx
Ill try ill relax tonight and be ok it will be tomorrow when i wake up and feel like crap that it will hit me again x
Your classed as full term at 37 week so they may agree to induction or c.sec at that point hun and baby I am sure would be safe. Feel for you hun. I’ve just one boy and can’t imagine what it would be like to have one, be pregnant and relapsing. It ay be once baby is out you start improving and also it then allows you to have treatment such as steroids which may help. Keep positive hun. Big hugs ((((())))) xxxx

Hey Cat, i i do know what your going through its horrible. you will eventually get to the stage where you realise that you can get through this. its easy for me to say that but i really do mean it, the helpline helped me out alot and they are very kind people.
life is precious, just because you have a illness doesnt mean its the end of your life,
hope you feel better soon
if you need to chat privately then i will always be here to listen

Hun you are being so hard on yourself.
Its a very emotional time being pregnant WITHOUT MS, so going to be even worse with it. When i was pregnant many moons ago with 2nd child i found it very hard with a young daughter to cope with too.
When you wake up dont look at the negatives straight away, think of all the positive things in your life and why you wanted another child. Another child must be so important to you, and once the baby is born things will all settle down again.
Remember ALL mums go through this hun. Why not join netmums and chat to some young mums i am sure they will all feel like you do.
Big hugs it will get better. Your daughter needs you. Have you got family who could lighten your load a bit.

Thankyou all ur all so kind ive been so well until this pregnancy i lead a normal life even used to go clubbing with my friends drinking every weekend noone knew i had ms now i just feel disabled hopefully ill go back to normal one day x
The fact you’ve been unwell since pregnant would suggest that the pregnancy may be causing this flare hun. Think positive and make sure you’ve help on hjand when baby arrives to get you on the road to recovery! And don’t lose faith there are people with m.s who have been really bad and improved to what they were so,it is possible. I know a lady who had a commode, wheelchair could do very little … Had a baby at the time and now is walking, clubbing and back to almost how she was just needs to listen to her body. Take Care and chin-up! Xxxx
