Oh Amber! You know you are doing the right thing by talking/writing about your darkest thoughts because we will all be here to help you. I know from my own dark moments that I post some very personal stuff when I need the most help. I’m sorry that you are going through this. I hope the nausea settles down a bit so you can at least enjoy some food.

I can’t make it better, but I can say that I feel more educated about HG and its affect on pregnant women. Not only has your honesty allowed us to reach out to you, it has made the world a more understanding place for other women suffering with the disorder. They would thank you for that if they knew.

Pregnancy induced or is the low libido normal for you?
I don’t know about you, but until morning sickness has subsided in my pregnancies I’m not feeling very “in the mood” myself which is a shame because it’s usually the best time to fit into lingerie that actually fits as it should…

I have struggled with issues of hope – and getting through dark times – for reasons other than yours, Amber. But I know what it is to feel as though there is no light at the end of a long tunnel.

I also know the joy of giving life, and continuing to guide and love a child. I know you are more than aware of that particular grace – and hell – and you’re living both at the moment, perhaps with the hellacious side of things the stronger.

My pregnancies were no fun, but certainly not what you’re going through. The light at the end of your dark tunnel, God willing, will be another healthy child. That’s a miracle, Amber. Each and every life we hold in our arms is a miracle.

Hang on to that, if you can. You know it already better than most of us. But hang on. Your light is a matter of months away.

Sending hugs.

I was just thinking the other day about you and about the courage with which you face this HG thing. Sharing here on your blog is just another example of it.

This WILL pass. And you are stronger than you think you are. And it’s ok, by the same token, to say THIS IS HARD. And to say it as often as you need to.

Because it IS.

I am so glad you’re sharing…because I’m sure you’re not the only one who has this issue. I am praying for you! Does that help? Probably not…but I’m doing it anyway!

If I could do battle with that nasty HG, I would.
If I could send hope straight into your veins, I would.

Your strength is amazing.

I could hear the pain in your recent writing. Hang on. I hope that the HG gets better so you can get back on your medication soon, because I remember those days of wanting to die. You are going to make it! We are all hear to support you and listen to you. Email me for a phone number if you need someone to call and cry.

Dearest Amber! I was, from time to time, in the blackest despair during my 20s and I’m so grateful that I didn’t impose a permanent solution on a temporary situation! I came very close indeed to ending it all. I overcame it by getting very angry at the source of my pain, but when its your own body? I don’t know. However, when I came to the realization that a temporary situation wasn’t worth my life, I began repeating these affirmations: This too shall pass. It always gets better. I will be happy again. I’ll be happy again when this is over.

Pick one or all. They worked for me so I hope they will help you get past this temporary darkness. Your body is temporarily imposing its sickness on your mind and IT WILL GET BETTER!!! You will be happy again and boy will you be grateful that the world looks so beautiful and hopeful once more.

Women are stronger then men and I know you are a very strong woman. You have two and a quarter kids and a husband to spend the rest of your life with so do everything within your power to pull yourself out of this funk.

We love you and wish you were closer so we could take care of you. Love & Kisses,

Melanie
