Before i start can i point out that i AM grateful that I am pregnant and realise what difficult times others are having.

I am 11+6. And i just feel so bloody miserable. I've felt sick pretty much 24/7 for the past 6 weeks. I am sick but only liquid/bile comes up no matter what ive eaten so not losing weight so docs won't give me anything. I sleep early at night so feel like an unsociable cow.
I haven't seen my family for a while properly as i can't be bothered seeing anyone but am super close to my sisters/Mum yet i can't even be bothered with them. My Mum asked me last night and my sister this morning why i havent spoken to them ( normally we text several times a day and speak every day)
My scan isn't for another 2wks so am not feeling excited about anything yet as i know i shouldn't but setting myself up for bad news. Can't afford a private scan so i have no choice but to wait.
I've put on 8lb already through eating stodge as was told would help ease the sickness. So currently feel fat, spotty, can't be arsed with anyone, get annoyed at the slightest thing and want to just drive off and spend a week alone!

I know it all sounds so dramatic and i hope i don't offend anyone because as said above - I AM grateful and really do feel for anyone who wants to be pregnant and isn't but i can't get out of this miserable bubble i'm in.

Sorry - massively waffle!

TOTALLY Felt the same as you about 3 weeks ago. everything feels unreal and I just felt miserable. I was sleeping 12 hours a day so with a full time job I was literally awake to have a cup of tea in the morning and dinner at night. I didn't see anyone. Often felt like crying.

My husband introduced 'pep talks'. This is when he was putting me to bed (usually in a state) at about 8pm each night. he'd read a few pages from the pregnancy book or we'd look at some cute pictures of babies and he would just remind me why it was I felt so rough.

Incidentally I'm now 13+2 and just come back from my scan. feel totally different. Obviously it's VERY real because I've seen the mite but I'm feeling less sick and tired (note less.. not 'not at all').

keep reminding yourself why you're doing this and if you still feel the same in a couple of weeks go talk to your GP/midwife

I am 10 wks pg with dc3 and have felt really nauseous all day for the last 3 weeks. I am also exhausted - sometimes I don't know how I manage to drive home from work I am so tired. Go to bed anywhere between 7.30pm and 9pm and still exhausted in the morning. The last 2 wks have been particularly bad and when I am awake I am back and forwards to the toilet to heave (but can rarely be sick).

I must admit that although this was a much wanted pg I have thought "what have I done?" on numerous occasions and have told dh this will be last pg because I feel so rotten. I am not excited about pg yet either so I feel your pain - feeling sick all day is vile.

Just hold onto the thought that it will get better - with dc1 I started feeling a lot better at 14 wks and I'm holding onto that hope this time to keep me going!

I think it's part of the whole package :) I know how you're feeling, I am very happy to be pregnant and extremely grateful (had a MMC last year) but I have been miserable for a while too :( not so much morning sickness as the constant migraines and headaches :( As we speak I am on my third morning of a migraine that started on Monday and I am just fed up - I want to take my "proper" pain killers but can't and am just sitting at home like a zombie trying to distract myself from the pain. BUT I am trying to think positive and that it will soon pass (hopefully) and having a baby is totally worth it :)
Hope you feel better soon!!

Don't worry you're not alone, and it DOES get better.
I am 27+1 today with my first and just felt like total shite up until 11 weeks. Was never sick, but always felt sick 24/7. I constantly thought what the hell have we done?!?!? I am now happier than ever and we can't wait for this little bundle to arrive :)

I felt the same both times too, it's the most horrible period of my life ever. even though I am grateful to be pregnant and i love having children, I HATE being pregnant, it's miserable.

On the bright side, I found being a mum a total breeze after being pregnant. Within minutes of the birth, I felt like myself again and was lovely!

Hope you feel better after the first trimester ends, I did a bit more with this pregnancy. Can even walk round town and take my little boy to the park which I couldn't have managed last time.
