Feeling miserable

Hey all

So sorry to be moaning but I'm feeling really miserable.

Very nervous about our scan tomorrow but not only that I'm just feeling really rubbish.

My mouth is still like sandpaper, I have a feeling like a hair is stuck in my throat and this is causing me to gag and sometimes be sick.

I've gone off all food and drinks. It's a struggle to eat and drink anything. I was drinking capri suns but been put off since being sick, plain foods is what I fancied, things like cheese sandwiches but again put off after being sick. I made spaghetti hoops on toast last night and could taste the metal either from the tin or pot so then couldn't eat that ๐Ÿ™

I'm managing sips of water and eating fruit pastel sweets and polo mints. I think my mouth being so dry is the cause of going off so much stuff.

I don't know if al these things are pregnancy related, if they are I don't want to moan because I know we're lucky to have gotten a positive and I'm greatful for that. I just feel so rubbish. I'm scared that tomorrow will be bad news and then I'm going to wonder why I feel so rubbish.

Ahhh sorry, just didn't know where else to rant. Was telling my friend yesterday as she asked how I was and her reply was "well you did say you wanted all the symptoms" ๐Ÿ˜ก

I think your symptoms do sound like a positive sign tbh, Iโ€™m keeping my fingers crossed for you with your scan coming up x

Sorry you're feeling so bad, it sounds terrible! I have however heard lots of pregnant women talking about a "metallic taste" so possibly a sign of pregnancy. The hair in your throat might be reflux from gagging and being sick. Hang on in there, I guess you'll just have to nibble on things that you feel you can get over at the moment. My mum used to find that having a biscuit in bed around half an hour before she got up helped slightly but she still had "morning sickess" all day. If you cant go food then try to keep hydrated, lots of water! Best of luck for tomorrow!xx

Thank you. I actually don't feel sick, but the theist hair makes me feel it because I start to gag. Really horrible.

Having to appetite is so hard at work, because I work 12.5 hour shifts and on feet all day it's really been difficult. I tried toast this morning but only managed half a slice as it was starting to taste horrible, I think my dry mouth is the cause of it all but just can't shift it ๐Ÿ™ Xxx

Ahhhh I thought you were meaning it was morning sickness. Have you tried some gaviscon in case its reflux? I suffer from reflux myself on a regular basis and it sounds a bit like how my throat gets.xx

I've tried rennies but they haven't helped. I might need to try gaviscon, is it better than rennies? Xxx

I'm on prescription medication so don't take over the counter meds anymore however my friend took gaviscon when she was pregnant and felt it helped! Not saying that's what it is of course but might be worth a shot!xx

Thank you. I'll try some gaviscon, worth a try ๐Ÿ™‚ Xxx

Sorry your feeling so rubbish, does all sounds positive for pregnancy symptoms though. I use to eat a biscuit before I got up or even if I woke early hours of the morning and that seemed to help with the sickness first thing. I found it really hard to manage โ€˜proper mealsโ€™ to so just stuck to eating little and often and just what you fancy. Totally get your anxiety for tomorrow, will keep everything crossed for you xx

Thanks. I actually don't feel sick, it's just this hair feeling in my throat makes me feel sick and makes me gag. It's disgusting.

Thank you ๐Ÿ˜˜

How are you today? Xxx

I was similar in the fact that I just gagged all the time. I hope you find something helps it.

Iโ€™m hanging in there, feel better that I had my scan today xx

Weโ€™re waiting to go in for our scan now and Iโ€™m bricking it! Also been feeling awful - not been sick but feeling nauseous most of the time and knackered. Hoping theyโ€™re good signs. Really scared though. Still been having some spotting but nothing major. Hope all goes well for us both xxx just want to eat thin veggie soup. Porridge and banana this morning was hard going down but worked after about 30-45 mins followed by a packet of ready salted crisps. Good luck for tomorrow xxx

I totally get this as I was the exact same! Even after the 7 week scan I didnโ€™t relax as I found out I was having twins. I booked a private 10 week scan and it made all the difference. Put a hug smile on my face unfortunately the symptoms for me havenโ€™t eased it.

You go through such a journey to get to this stage and want to have ever symptom. In reality when you are lucky enough to get pregnant you feel rotten.

It will get easier as you progress through each week. I have been keeping a pregnancy journal itโ€™s just a A3 binder and I find this helps.

Good luck xx

So glad to see someone else who's felt the same. It's so horrible.

I'm just praying tomorrow is good news and I can at least say well I'm feeling this way because of pregnancy.

I might keep a journal too, sounds like a good idea ๐Ÿ™‚ Xxx

It's funny how women who have struggled to conceive feel bad about speaking out when things are a little rough. Pregnancy symptoms sound horrid and they're no less horrid just because we're all desperate to feel them! The signs sound good so far so fingers crossed you'll get your reassurance tomorrow. Good luck. I hope you find something nice to eat and drink soon! xx

It's so true, my friend made me feel worse with her smart comment. I thought easy for you to say when you fell pregnant easily both times. I don't want to ever appear like I'm complaining about feeling rubbish, I'm just a really bad patient basically! I'm never unwell so when I am feeling bad it's like x 1000 ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Thank you ๐Ÿ˜˜ I really hope so ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ™ xxx

I've been waking up in the last few days feeling like I've been on a 12 hour drinking binge my mouth is that dry. And no matter how much water I seem to drink when I pee it's still as if I'm really dehydrated (TMI sorry)

I feel you about the scan- my first one isn't until 10th November and I'm nervous about having to wait that long but terrified of the date actually coming.

Other than that the only thing I've really experienced so far are twinges on either side of my ribs and dear lord I'm tired. I could have cried having to get up this morning.

I've got the tiredness too. Wake up still tired even after 9/10 hour sleep. My eyes feel like weights have been tied to them, they never feel refreshed anymore. Horrible! Good luck with your scan xxx
