Advice Needed 🙏
Hi Ladies,
Hoping some of you can help me out. I’m really struggling at the moment. I’m not sleeping, have no appetite at all, constant headaches, struggling to keep food down, no energy, don’t even want to drink half the time. I’m 14 weeks on Monday and really don’t know what to do
I’m trying to force myself to eat little and often just for babies sake but the nausea is making me so miserable. My team at work are starting to notice that I’m not myself and are all worried. I’ve been advised to contact my midwife which I am going to do but I’m so scared of what might happen. I know I’ve lost weight which worries me as I’m scared that baby isn’t getting the nutrients they need
I had mental health issues before I got pregnant and I know my anxiety is high but I am trying not to let it win
Have any of you been in a similar position?

@Charlotte I haven’t had them checked since my first midwife appointment. How would I go about getting them checked again?
Are you on any antisickness medication? X
@Emma I take cyclizine. Some days it works and some days it doesn’t. I’ve been trying to have it before meals so I can actually eat something
@Cathryn it didn't work for me at all, or prochlorperazine. I'm on Xonvea now which has been a life saver. Appetite is back most of the time and the nausea is much more controlled. May be worth a chat with your GP xx
@Emma thank you for the advice. I’ll try and give them a ring on Monday. All I know is I can’t continue like this
@Cathryn inbox is always open if you need it!
Have you had your iron levels checked? I get anaemia in pregnancy and it causes migraines, tiredness, craving ice generally lethargic.
