I can't seem to get excited. I'm constantly tired, having bad cramps, hot and cold, headaches, bloated and seem really restless. Anyone experiencing the same? Or know anything that can help?

I was the same with my first and i am also 5 weeks pregnant and feel the same! it horrible but i am sure it will pass. i felt better at 12weeks. i was never sick just also had really bad cramps, and got then again... many time i used to go to hosp for checks up cause i was so worried about the baby but everything was fine. once you get over this horrible sickness and start to feel movement thats when it will be so exciting :) try and have naps if you can that always helps me. congrats!

I agree with these wise ladies, I've just hit 8 weeks and have become a serious napper. I believe we are allowed actimel, which is good for bloating. I've also found I need to graze eat all the time, as otherwise I feel constantly hungry but also bloated and a bit nauseous at the same time. Hang on in there! x
