Feel so unwell and low

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!

Embarrassed as hell (also feel free to have a laugh): have you ever hurt yourself by sneezing during peeing? 😭🤦🏼‍♀️

I was going to post incognito, but decided to give some people a laugh. Storytime:

I'm 27 weeks pregnant so I was on my 10th pee of the night, when in the middle of peeing I sneezed and got an extreme sharp pain in my nether region. Now every single time I go wee it hurts (yes will talk to the GP if it doesn't go). Has this ever happened to anyone else? 🫣 Also dont think anyone's husband expects to be woken up by their pregnant wife holding her bits saying "I think I tore my piss hole sneezing" 😭🤣

Baby Moon

Hi all, we're thinking about having a mini baby moon for a couple of nights. Just something special for the 2 of us before baby arrives. Looking to stay fairly local as I will be 36 weeks at that point. What are your thoughts? Its my first baby. Am I risking it being too close to due date?

Baby hip scan ?

Has anyone not being told their baby needs this then just randomly received a letter with an appointment ?
The HV asked me last week if they was waiting on hip scans because they can’t measure them if they’re having scans but as far as I knew they wasn’t.. today I’ve received a letter for both boys to have hip scans in a couple weeks 🤦🏼‍♀️ wtf is that all about 😅 no communication anywhere I swear!

Girl names?

Currently pregnant with my first girly and
