Can I please vent?

Our lives have been in a horrible and boring rut lately. I am 13 weeks along and have been so so sick this whole time. I spend everyday in bed. I have only been to work a few times in the past 2 months. I know those of you I talk to a lot are probably sick of hearing me complain, but I'm going to use this as another opportunity to express my frustrations. Do you know how depressing it is to spend everyday in bed?? The thing is, I don't even want to try to get up and out because I feel so crappy. I just can't keep anything down. I've tried everything and still have no relief from this sickness. I have been to the doctor twice now. The last time we went we got to hear the heartbeat which was so cool! It's a good reminder that this suffering actually is for a good reason. My doctor is a very nice man, but is another source of my frustration. He told me I need to stop losing weight, gain a few pounds by the next time I see him and said I am dehydrated and need more fluid. Well duh! I know this! Believe me, I eat and eat and drink but nothing stays in me. The medication I have been taking hasn't helped my nausea but he has no suggestions or helpful advice for me. Today I decided to switch doctors. I just think I would prefer an OB doctor instead of just a family doctor (which is what he is). When I told the new office that I was switching they acted strange and said they would call me back. ?? Is this some sort of "no-no" I don't know about? I'm still awaiting the call and hope I'll be able to switch. Well, thank you for any of you who actually read all my whining. I'm going to try and be more positive...
