Restless and ill

Come whine with me.

Feeling like crap, and am at 8 weeks. Just want to skip to the nice bit of pregnancy now.

Anyone found any good ways to feel better?

Sleep. But that gave way to crippling PGP if I stayed in the same position for more than half an hour... [back to the drawing board]

rest as much as possible, eat little and often, go easy on yourself, I'm a little ahead of you (13 weeks) and I'm always tired so I know all about resting, good luck

Pelvic Girdle Pain, it's the umbrella term for SPD, Sacro-illiac pain etc. Means I get a very sexy NHS ratchet strap contraption to hold my pelvis together :)

Seriously though, PamBeesly has it. Be good to yourself, eat what you can when you can and sleep when you need to. For the first fifteen weeks I could have slept for Britain, napped every day after work and found getting up before 9am to be brutal (luckily I do flexi hours at work so could get shifts that allowed for this!)
