Hi guys,
I feel rotten for doing this as it seems so ungrateful, I am so happy to be pregnant but this is my first pregnancy and I was not expecting to feel like this, and wondered if anyone with a bit more experience has any advice for reducing/improving my symptoms, or can just let me know if its normal! I'm only seven weeks but for about a month I have felt like utter crap, like I'm constantly hungover/been hit with a sledgehammer, whilst swinging between nausea and no appetite and then the hungriest woman that ever lived and craving junk food; swinging between agonising constipation one day and then three or four 'very loose' movements the next day; constant period pains often combined with diarrhoea style cramps, stabbing pains in my lady parts that make me stop what I'm doing and take deep breaths; constantly dry lips, a sickly look on my face, pale, spotty, and by the evening so bloated I could pass as 5 months gone. Oh and urinating literally 12 times a day and unable to sleep more than 2 hours before needing to go! I haven't told anyone I'm pregnant yet as its such early days, my OH is no help on this stuff obviously, so I guess I'm just hoping for reassurance that this is normal and/or it won't last the whole 9 months!
