my life improved greatly being pregnant. I have no idea the cause, but from speaking to others who have been pregnant with gastroparesis, its been the same. I have been able to eat normally again, i have gained weight. I am now 22 weeks into my pregnancy, and at the weight i was when i was first married, and feeling healthy and fit.
I am still so weak, and my body is so tired from the work of growing a baby. I still cant manage to do very much, having no energy, but atleast i can eat and give this child the nutrition he needs. Until recently.
The last couple days i have been struggling again with my gastroparesis. I had a flare up (mild, but still painful, i only vomited 3 times) the other night, and havent been able to eat much since. The constant pain in my gut is back, and i can only eat a little at a time and feel full for hours. I had overwhelming stress and emotions that i think caused the flare up. I am hoping when the stress passes, the gastroparesis will fade as well, atleast while i am pregnant. If not, I will be devastated, but I will get through it. I have a great support group of family, friends, and even others that are suffering from gp.
Atleast with this pregnancy i have insurance, so i can be sure to get the medical help i need to help keep this baby alive.
