Promised myself I'd jump for joy when I got nauseated and sick..... But it sucks!

I feel a total fraud. I'm just over 7 weeks, haven't seen my little one's heartbeat yet, struggling to believe it's all happening.

And......I feel like crap.... The nausea never stops 👎👎👎👎👎👎

I promised when sat in the clinic getting jealous of all the lovely fat bumped women that if I ever got one I'd jump around about how great it is.....

Being pregnant is amazing and I'm super grateful but I feel awful...... This must be the greatest kept secret.... Glowing...green!!!

Any ideas how to help out? I've lost 2 kilos in 2 weeks 😖no appetite at all as I feel constantly sick.

Feel like crap for moaning..... Crap day.

I had a good few weeks of sickness, just try and eat little often when you can. Try plain light things like crackers, Rice Krispies, toast etc. Ginger is suppose to help aswell but on a positive note it does pass xxx

I remember it well. They say sickness is a good sign. I tried those travel sickness wrist bands. They didn't work for me but they do for some. I felt sick all day long and it's awful. Ginger helped, also eating crackers before getting out of bed. Hope it passes soon for you xx

Don't feel bad, it's utterly horrible. I have been there.

Are you getting sick? Or just off food and feeling pukey?

I think 7 to 8 weeks is usually the peak of sickness. I had it from early on too, prob from 4 ish weeks then peaked so badly at 8 weeks, I was hospitalised. Mine was constant puking and i was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum - I was really very ill, throbbing head and could not even drink water, I was vomiting when there was nothin to vomit - so I needed drips of anti sickness meds and fluids.

If this happens to you or if you can't eat or drink and it's making you miserable, you are at risk of dehydration (I had ketosis, I was that bad), so go the Dr now to talk about it - try to prevent this happening to you.

They can prescribe a specific type of antihistamine which eases the nausea and sickneess. It worked for me but did take a few weeks.

Thinking of you and here to help if you need it. Hope you feel better soon. It may just ease itself without getting worse but dont let it fester... xxx

After wanting it for so long, it's quite hard to deal with isn't it! I've had awful morning sickness (3 times a day being violently ill)! Plain food little and often, loads of water and I'm guessing we have to ride this one out knowing it won't last forever! I'm 9 weeks today and it's starting to ease a little but still happening! Week 7 was the worst! Good luck - you'll be ok! Xxx

First trimester for me was like an out of body experience. Never felt so ill mine lasted about 8 weeks. I used the bands and they helped a little and I lived off a cheese and tomato baguette per day. I think I lost some weight those initial weeks too but it's ok. Get lots of ice lollies in the freezer and stay hydrated. Once it passes and bump starts to show you will forget how awful it was x

I felt the same , you feel guilty because all you wanted was to be pregnant, and now you are you're not enjoying it !

I felt sick all day long , and just generally mah! I carried dry biscuits with me to nibble on all day .

Take it as a sign everything is going well and it's a strong pregnancy. Congratulations bye the way x

Hi Miraclebeliever. it's awful with a capital "aw"!! Just try all the recommendations people make, just in case one works for you. I recommend hibernation somewhere cosy, and wake up at 14/40wks!! Joking apart, I do hope you start to feel human again soon, so you can enjoy your pregnancy. Thinking of you. Diane
