11wks and struggling

[Melonay1987]

Hi guys.

I'm currently 11weeks pregnant following successful IVF.

Unfortunately I am struggling. I've had nausea (and also been sick a fair few amounts, although not daily) but im struggling with being bloated and really really uncomfortable. I feel that "full" I'm struggling to eat anything after breakfast. I'm even struggling to take fluids I feel that awful.

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice for this bloating/ very full feeling. It's honestly making me feel awful in a time when I feel I should be happy and enjoying my pregnancy.

Thanks for any advice xxx

Congratulations on your pregnancy!!Are you still on progesterone? I felt much less bloated when I stopped taking it at around 10 weeks. Hopefully your nausea will clear up soon too as you get to the end of the first trimester. Good luck xxx

Thank you misssaopaulo. No they stopped my progesterone at week 7. I'm just hoping it settles soon xxx

Hello,

I'm in a very similar position. 12+4 now post successful IVF and didn't feel well at all. However now the symptoms seem to be easing off and every other day I feel better. I wear loose clothes and leggings to feel more comfy. You just need to hang in there. Although I know it's hard as I've cried few times because of the struggles and being unable to do things it is all worth it and it will go away. Think about that little miracle that you get to meet at the end 😍😊❤️

Hi AMFB. Glad to hear you are feeling better, I'm not far off 12 weeks so I'm hoping it subsides after then.....one can hope! 🤣

Yes you're right it's tough, but I need to remember it's all for a good cause and won't last forever, no matter how long it feels!

I'm going to go and buy some baggy clothes and a new bra later hopefully that will help too. Thank you 😊xx
