is feeling this ill normal??

[MrsDoris]

this is my first post, and have got a lot of comfort from reading other posts, but I am 6 weeks and have never felt so ill, I am exhausted morn til eve, then cant sleep, one minute I am hot then cant stop shivering, I am light headed, my glads not just the big ones in front but throat armpits etc ache, I have a horrible taste in my mouth, and feel slightly numb, sometimes a racing heart rate, cramping where I have to hold on to something untill it passes. I went to gp this morning and said I have a bit of a list and the first comment I got was I only have 10 mins! and have a blood test monday.
Thankfully not much neusea and no vomitting, but is all the rest normal in one go I can bearly work and getting very behind - please say its normal and wont last forever!

I felt very rough for the 1st 10 weeks, then it got better. The first weeks can be rough.
Hope you feel better soon!

Yep, all sounds depressingly familiar I'm afraid. It does get better though once the first trimester passes, but it is frankly bloody awful whilst it lasts. Be as kind to yourself as you can. xx

Thank you, sometimes you need reassurance not blood tests, I dont have a mum, aunties or sisters to ask but you made me feel better by normallising the symptoms for me. xx
