So tired of feeling rubbish

I'm 8 weeks today. And I'm so fed up of feeling like crap all the time 😭 I think I was super lucky first time round, but now my nausea is every day all afternoon lasting for hours. Eating and drinking seems to make no difference. And I'm exhausted by 11am every day 😭

Sorry I'm just having a moan. When am I going to feel better? It's so hard to not get ratty with my 2YO and he doesnt understand what's going on 💔

I know it's really crap, but try and take solace in that if your symptoms are really strong, then the baby should be doing really good! 🤞❤️

Right here with you 😣 but my nausea is exactly the same as I remember with my first. It lasted from week 6 to week 17 so I'm hoping it's not as long this time. I also have a 2.5 year old and feel bad on him as I have no energy at all. We've just got to remember we are growing a whole human and that's a lot of work

Oh gosh I can't bear the thought of another 10 weeks of this! 🤞🏼 It passes for us both.

Up your magnesium intake, it’s really helped me. Morning sickness/nausea is apparently caused by a magnesium deficiency

hadn't heard this one thanks!

I feel the same, I don't know how people go through this for weeks. Will try magnesium, thanks!

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
