Is it normal to feel so crap? 🫣

I'm 6 weeks and 5 days today and I'm feeling pretty rubbish - I feel nauseous all day every day, so tired all day no matter how much I sleep, I smell so much more and everything smells horrible making me feel nauseous 😭 it's affecting my day to day life a lot, can't really concentrate on work and just want to rest. I really hope it gets better soon because I don't want to go through this for the whole pregnancy 😕

I totally understand how you feel. I am constantly exhausted, nauseous before during and after I eat. Nothing seems to ease it. My sense of smell is on overdrive. Getting out of bed takes all of my energy. I know the first few weeks are hard but wow, it is a lot more exhausting than expected 🙁

I’m 7wks tomorrow and I feel like I’m fighting the worst hang over ever, I just want to crawl up in a ball and stay there 80% of the time. I’m grateful to be pregnant but it’s hard 🥹

Will get better I promise! Hang in there!

Feeling so so sick. Being really sick in the night. Not sleeping. I get hit by this wave at around 8pm of the most awful nausea and sickness.

@Liv I'm so sorry to hear that! 😕

@Valentina thank you, I hope so! ❤️

@Shauna omg yes that's exactly how I feel! I genuinely didn't know it'll be this hard

@Cathryn omg thank you so much for sharing, hearing that I'm not the only one who struggles is helpful. I really hope you're getting better soon! ❤️

I’m feeling so shit, constant nausea, this morning vomiting. I also feel like I’ve been hit by a bus .. headaches, feel like I’m constantly squinting my eyes … 😫😫 feeling v sorry for myself

@Positive Pineapple sorry to hear that! I can totally relate ❤️

Yes everything smells horrid for me and tastes rank. I've started logging what foods I can manage to eat. Trial and error different foods. Ham and cheese toasties seem to be OK for me. And beef chow mein 😅

I got some anti sickness from the drs but it’s a sedative and knocked me out - so bloody useless. I have an early scan tomorrow so hopefully all being well I can then register with the midwife and get a different anti sickness tablet .. but £10 per prescription I would rather free prescriptions 😄 if they are gonna try a few.
