I am only about 8 weeks and I feel absolutely awful. Physically and mentally. I’m going to be a single mum which is scary but the way I’m feeling, It’s making me not want to continue if this is what the next 7 months is going to be like. Feel constantly sick, exhausted and depressed.
Is this normal?
Any positives would be appreciated right now. Everything is looking so bleak.

It's definitely normal, I know a lot of women that have felt the same. These symptoms should ease off in the second trimester and when you start to feel your little one kick all of this will be a distant memory.
There are lots of support networks out there if you need to talk.

Have you got on any anti sickness medication yet? I’ve been very sick this pregnancy and had got me feeling pretty down but have been feeling a lot better now I’m on some medication that has helped the vomiting and nausea

I was sooooo depressed week 6-12. When people used to tell me it gets better I honestly wanted to tell them to fuck off 😂 But I promise you it does. ❤️

It gets better!! 💕💕💕 Your body is adjusting to all the new hormones ❤️
It will all be more than worth it. Do reach out to others though and find a support group ❤️🤗

The first trimester is awful but it does ease up at second tri. I'm sorry you are going through this alone, but I promise it will get better!
