Being a woman. It just sucks

[JKDcot]

I’m sure this is me being melodramatic. But sometimes being female is just horrid. I have awful period pains and feel sick and in pain. I’m shattered but can’t sleep cause I feel sick if I lay down.

I am also trying for a baby so it’s just a kick in the teeth to feel sad and unwell at the same time.

I have a wonderful husband but he’s asleep snoring next to me. Men don’t have to feel all we feel about periods, pregnancy, child birth. All of it is on us.

sometimes it just feels unfair

Any advice on how to get rid of nausea due to period hormones also much appreciated please

No helpful advice sorry OP but

Sorry you are feeling so rubbish, try mints, they may help with nausea? I find herbal tea (especially peppermint, but other flavours too) helps too x

I feel your pain , but I'm on holiday abroad and they are really affecting my enjoyment of the holiday.

Oh well, he’ll likely die first so there’s that.

I feel ya! I started my period today and it just sucks tbh. My period is so heavy for the first two days that I have to wear adult nappy's and the pain in my stomach and back is making me feel sick. For those first two days I can't even leave the house because they are so heavy I need to be near the loo at all times. If reincarnation is a thing I hope I come back as a man 🤞🏼

Ginger biscuits are good for nausea.
