7 weeks pregnant and I'm seriously struggling with normal life. I feel like my stomach is constantly unhappy. I go from hungry to starving in the space of about 5 minutes, and have to eat right away to ease the pain. But as soon as I eat, acid rushes to my mouth, making virtually everything I eat turn sour. Then I start to feel nauseous (even only after a couple of mouthfuls) and/or pressure on my stomach, and I feel so full and sick that all I can do is sit there and stare into space. An hour later, the full/sick feeling eases somewhat, and then I repeat the cycle with the starvation feeling.
This started about a week ago, and has been progressively getting worse and worse. It's preventing me from getting much sleep as I wake up with the starving feeling, eat crackers, which promptly turn sour... I've been taking Rennies which has helped a little, but only very temporarily. I am barely functioning, and am struggling to get out of the house.
I have had to call in sick which has been tough as I haven't told work yet. I've tried to work from home but even staring at the computer for more than half an hour at a time makes me nauseous.
I know what I'm going through is nowhere near as bad as a lot of people, but I'm getting so depressed being totally useless like this and would really appreciate some tips/advice.
