Finding first trimester hard on mental health

I am 7 weeks today and have been really struggling with nausea and migraines for the last couple of weeks. I have a 3 y/o, run my own business and we are also due to move house in the next month or two. I know I have a lot on my plate but I am finding the first trimester debilitating this time round, spending days stuck in bed with migraines. Because of all this I’m really struggling with my mental health and just wondered if anyone else is too?

The first trimester feels extremely isolating and nothing seems to make me feel much better. Not really looking for advice, kind of just want to know I’m not on my own 🤍

You are not alone,....this is exactly how I feel. I don't have migraines but my nausea is so severe second time round, I'm miserable, I've cried 3 days in a row, my husband is away for work and I have a 4 year old and work....I truly cannot wait for these first few weeks to be over, I'm obviously so happy to be pregnant but I'm mentally drained right now xx

Anyone else due 1st May?

I’m wondering whether I’ll have an April or May baby, thought she’d be late originally because she’s my first but I’ve had this weird feeling recently she’ll be early… if you’re in the same position what do you think?

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
