early pregnancy signs, don't remember it being this bad before

Sorry, still under a name change, but I promise I will tell you all my real posting name soon.
I found out I am pregnant this week, but I am so tired, and feel so sicky all the time. Also have gone completely off tea, which is terrible as I love tea normally. I don't remember feeling this awful before. I can't say how many kids I have or how many times I have been pregnant atm as it will give the game again, but I have been pregnant a few times now and this is horrible.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Hi there mystery girl! This is my first and I must agree with you, early pregnancy sucks! I'm nauseous all the time, the most tired I have ever been and to top it all, quite spotty. Hmmm! Nice! I'm 11+1 though and praying that all that disappears in a couple of weeks! I've had the tea thing too, normally I cannot function in the mornings without tea, but now I'm just not interested in it. If I do make myself a cup later in the day, I invariably drink half and leave the rest, which is totally wierd as I used to down my tea to the last drop as soon as I'd made it, I'm such a tea addict!

Sorry you're feeling so bad, I'm sure things will improve soon.

Congratulations on being pregnant..

I think the symptoms do get worse with each pg... esp if you have a small age gap!!..

I am pg with number 3 and I am alot more tired than with the other two... but that could be because this is the first pg that I havent been able to nap when needed to with toddler running around as I have just under 8 years between DD and DS. I also have had more stretching growing pains than I did with the other two.. but I am guessing that you are on 3 plus....

not a small gap, guess I must be getting too old for this.. Just tidied up upstairs and now I am knackered, even though I had a nap earlier.

Hiya secret lady!

Well this PG has definitely hit me for six! I had very little sickness or anything with DS or DD... but this time I am feeling pretty rubbish, nearly all the time.

Totally exhausted. Queasy. No power in my limbs!! Couldnt even slice open a pitta bread this morning for DD! My arms and hands werent working.

Hope it doesnt last for too long- mind you I'm only 6 wks at the moment.

joked with DP that it must be twins (please NO!) Is there any correlation to sickness and sex of baby??

trace2 · 03/03/2007 16:53

all pg are diffrent!

FunMumm · 03/03/2007 16:56

Congratulations...
I felt dreadful from the moment I conceived! honest... so your not alone..

I went to the DRs when I was newly pregnant with DS.. I swear to god If he had said go to sleep when you wake up it will all be a dream I would have been on the couch with my eyes shut like a shot....I was feeling drained.. thinking how do women cope feeling like this.. I also had a year old toddler and was working. Anyway The doctor thought it could be twins and sent me for a early scan but I had a corpus luteum cyst the size of a orange giving me more hormones than I needed... I was also anaemic

Do mention it to the doctors... Do remember to eat regularly...and do update this thread when you come out... be kind to yourself

i have girl first 22years was ok boy 21 years was ok with him, then a big gap and an other boy 5 years sick as a dog wi him, now 22 weeks pg still very sick, weak, so tired

FunMumm · 03/03/2007 17:00

I think being sick is good then.. doesn't it mean that your hormone levels are high..

misdee · 03/03/2007 17:00

well, i have 3dd's and morning sickness was terrible throughout all of them. i was offered an extra scan at 16 weeks as iwas admitted to hospital with that severe morningsickness (HG?) and they suggested it may be a multiple pregnancy. i said no the scan as i had had one done the week before. and definatly only one in there.

not been actually sick but feel sick all day.

OP posts:

honeyapple · 03/03/2007 17:14

I havent actually been sick either- just have this constant underlying sick feeling- like I am going to be sick.
Eating is helping. If I havent eaten for a bit it gets worse. I'm nibbling on bread sticks at the moment!

You're not the first to say that my mum was pregnant with NI twins when she had my brother, but she lost one, so I know its a possibility.

Fresia · 03/03/2007 17:24

Original poster

amum1 · 03/03/2007 17:26

about 5 weeks. It was the before scans but she was 8 weeks pregnant with my brother before she found out she was pregnant, as she had what she thought was a period 4 weeks beforehand and the doctor said it was a twin lost.

OP posts:

FunMumm · 03/03/2007 17:30

fingers crossed the sickness continues

Snarf02 · 03/03/2007 19:53

This is my second pg and i have had much worse nausea and have been sick every am for nearly 4 wks. The last week i am ll wks tomorrow i have not been sick but still have the nausea but not as severe. I had the sickness from teh moment we conceived so was not suprised when got a postive pg test. I had nausea wiht my daughter but no way near as bad and not as early on and was never as sick. I am hoping that i am through the worst now. The tiredness is also really ahrd with a toddler and as i am bf twice a day not sure if that is taking more out of me and making me more tired. I always have a daytime nap if i can when she does which helps.

My saviour food was ready salted crisps not very healthy but they work!

good luck with the rest of your pg.

I have had the stretching pains too, they seem worse than when I was pregnant over 6 years ago. Just ate a chocolate bar and feel sick.
