Anyone else feel just awful at week 6

I am just wondering if I'm alone here or is it normal to feel like complete shit at this stage.
I am at the end of week 6 now and this baby feels like it's trying to kill me.
Everyday this week I woke up feeling weak like I have low blood sugar, but I also feel too nauseous to want to eat anything but I have to force feed myself or I feel I'm gonna pass out.

then throughout the day I'm snacking but nothing seems to satisfy my stomach. I still feel like I'm hungry every 20mins but again I'm bloated and nauseous so it's hard to eat enough to fix this hunger feeling. and on top of that my heart keeps beating heavy like I just ran somewhere but I didn't move. so I also struggle to catch my breath just sitting down!

This is the most miserable I've felt in a very long time.
anyone else having this much fun or is it just me? 😆

I've just turned 6 weeks, since finding out two weeks ago I was pregnant I've only been sick twice. But I do feel nauseous alot and this week I just don't know what to eat! I'm craving plain chicken and mash and ready salted crisps! I just want plain stuff. I never used to eat breakfast but now im having a bowl of cereal at 7.30 to avoid the dizziness. I can't remember how long these feelings last! Pregnancy s s funny thing xx

I'm 8 weeks today and the nausea is intense I feel exhausted all day and night no energy at all then around 4pm the nausea kicks in for the rest of the night and that's it I'm down and out i really hope it wears off at the 12 week mark this is baby number 6 and I have never felt so bad in all the others

You’ve basically just described exactly how I feel 🫠🥲 I need the second trimester so bad xx

It’s normal like this, but trust me.. you will feel better! Have a healthy pregnancy!!

Wow every single detail is exactly the same, especially the part about heart and the struggle to catch breath, I am easily out of breath after the smallest activity like going up a few stairs, walking the dog for 10mins etc and it feels like this can’t only be due to being pregnant but I think it is! I wake up so weak as well, you’re not alone!❤️

You have to eat small things and often. Go to the store and buy things that are appealing to you right now and snack on those. I was also keeping those children apple sauce bags next to my bed and I was eating a few bites before even getting out of bed. That helped with blood sugar and nausea. B6 vitamins can also help and so does Diclectin if your nausea gets out of control. Ask your pharmacist.
Good luck and I wish you a healthy pregnancy. Thing do get better, hang in there.
Also, congratulations! 💗

I’m feeling the same, first time too.

You have to remember your body is going through changes it has never been through before. It will always be the worst with the first. Try acupressure bands. It may help

yes! please second trimester!! i want my energy back so I can do my workouts again

Avatar

yeah I got the meds to help the nausea. it doesn't really seem to help. mostly what it does is make me more sleepy and now I have to take 2 naps a day lol
gonna eat more though. i realized I wasn't eating nearly enough

Avatar

yeah I did hear about the acupressure bands. i tried pushing on the p6 area but I didn't feel a difference so wasn't sure if the band would help either but I think I'll give it a try

Avatar

same!!! Standing up is an effort right now 😂

I’m 7 weeks and I feel TERRIBLE all day everyday. I did not have this when I was pregnant with my son but this time I can barely keep crackers down. I hope this passes for both of us!

Omg sounds exactly like me 😩

I did get some preggie drops from Amazon and they help. There’s different kinds of flavors and brands. From sour apple to mint. I found the pink bag that’s mint flavored is a life saver!
