6 weeks and nausea and fatigue are unbearable

[foursimplewords]

This is my first pregnancy and I feel like I'm being a princess, but...the nausea and fatigue are becoming unbearable! I saw my midwife yesterday anyway for a routine appointment and she said it was likely a good thing as it meant my pregnancy hormones are high...but I just feel awful. I'm trying to get more sleep (mainly cos I can't stay awake anyway!) but the nausea is crippling. I'm either in bed all day, or I'm sat by the back door for the fresh air feeling like a useless heap. I've tried every form of ginger under the sun, sparkling water, coconut water, dry bland foods, etc...is there anything that I haven't yet tried that I could?! Even water is making me feel sick

I'm exactly the same!!! The fatigue is awful, even walking up the stairs to get to the bathroom feels like I've just done a 20k sprint!

I'm trying lemonade at the moment which works, as long as I burp I manage to eat. And I'm just eating whatever I fancy, which is weird as I'm usually so strict! Lots of bread and rice.

Don't feel like a princess, I completely understand, I feel so delicate! But it's nice to know our bodies are doing their thing to make baby safe and grow etc.

I'm annoyed no one warned me how rubbish I would feel!! I had no idea pregnancy would be this hard or this draining, I feel so ignorant! I swear I thought it was only when you were really big towards the third trimester that it'd get hard!

I've had time off work which has helped (I'm a nurse and do 12hr shifts on my feet all day) and got some antisickness tablets from my GP - have you got any medications? Xxx

the doctor gave me prochlorperazine yesterday but it doesn't do much

I've got cyclizine and ondansetron which are helping, hope you feel better soon

Go to the dr for meds ... this is my third pregnancy and the sickness has killed me ! I have antisickness which don’t get rid of it but allow me to function at points during the day !

And rice helps !
