To be feeling utterly miserable?

[GaaaaarlicBread]

I’m feeling so bloody sorry for myself . Really need a hand hold.
I’m lucky enough to be pregnant . 7 weeks today if my dates are right . I’ve been dreadfully sick , Drs put me on meds, they seem to have taken the edge off enough for me to feel a bit more alive And able to drink (thanks to advise on here) and the Dr has signed me off as I’ve lost weight and still can’t eat more than a few crisps without feeling ill again . Haven’t left the bed in days, and the dr said I’d lost 4lbs in 4 days, it’ll be more by now. I’ve only just brought myself downstairs to sit in the lounge as DH is needed more sleep as he’s at work later and I’m fidgeting. I honestly haven’t been down here for so long.
Anyway so I was beginning to feel a little better (still shit but I wasn’t crying as much), and now I’ve been hit with a bloody out of control cold where I’m achy all over , can’t breathe out my nose even though it’s all runny, throat is all swollen and that tickly throat where you swallow and it feels like there’s a cheese grater on your tonsils . Heads pounding , every time I drifted off last night I’d be woken up by uncontrollably choking as the tickle took my breath away as I was mid sleep .
I’m f***g starving but can’t fancy food, and can’t even taste anything now anyway. I got all of maybe 2 hours sleep last night .
I’m so fed up. I miss food and miss feeling well and I was really hoping I was starting to feel more human again and then this . My husband is saying he misses the old me and I feel so guilty . I was so naive and had no idea how emotionally draining early pregnancy is.
Sorry I just really needed somewhere to vent as I have nobody .

Early pregnancy isn’t usually really tough though if you’ve had sickness problems that won’t help for sure. It sounds like you’ve caught a seasonal lurgy so that combined with not eating etc will knock you for six.

Fingers crossed you will feel much much better in a day or two and be able to start enjoying your pregnancy. On the bright side at least you can go to bed and do nothing while you feel so lousy, when baby arrives that stops and you will discover the joys of parenting while feeling like death warmed up.

Be kind to yourself. See if you can stomach some warm squash or something sweet and comforting and hopefully you’ll be feeling brighter soon.

@Inforthelonghaul thank you 🤗 I think part of me is anxious about my early scan next week which isn’t helping . I’ll be 8 weeks on the day of the scan and worried sick that it won’t be good news even though there’s no reason for me to be worried as I’ve had no bleeding and no cramps .
I spend too much time on MN and read too many sad stories which have just filled me with worry.

Thee is an old wives tale that says that the iller you are the more likely a pregnancy is to stick. So looking pretty good for you.

Early pregnancy is the pits. For the cold I was ok’d a calpol plug in, hot water with lemon, honey n paracetamol. Ironically once you get over the pain of eating not being able to smell/taste things might be a tiny blessing with the nausea/puking.

And as pp said apparently the worse you feel the higher the good ol’ preggo hormones.

Early pregnancy is horrible. I felt dreadful until I was about 14ish weeks then I suddenly felt wonderful and stayed that way for the rest of the pregnancy. I lost a tonne of weight in the early days too but my babies were chuffing huge so it obviously didn't make much difference to them!
Hang in there, first trimester is the worst for many women.
