Feeling so ill :(

[Amy0789]

Sorry in advance if this sounds like a complete rant!
I'm currently 15+3 with my first and pretty much from the start of the pregnancy I've felt so yucky! Sickness has died down a bit now apart from randomly feeling spewy when I drink water and baby clearly doesn't like some food! I've been off work for 3 weeks as I was passing out constantly due to low blood pressure and feel like I've been on a merry go round, on loop! Starting to get down about it all as I've no energy and I'm struggling to do anything and I'm also not to drive according to GP and midwife due to the dizzy spells. I have a few friends that are due around the same time as me and they've had it rough too but are starting to feel better, and I'm so happy for them but I'm feeling that I'm being a constant downer cause of this yuckiness and I can't get excited :(
Sorry for this sounding so negative I just wondered if anyone else out there felt the same!

Oh you poor thing, it can be so hard. In this pregnancy and last I got better from the sickness at 16 weeks, and midwife said usually by 20 weeks most women feel better, so I'm crossing my fingers for you. I had lots of dizziness in first trimester too, and some in second. But not so much after 16 weeks. I'm hoping you don't have a toddler as I did this time round, which was hell. Hugs xxx

I'm lucky I don't have any other kids and my husband has been great taking the dog out, making dinners etc! I have the doctors again next Monday to get another line, I would love to get back to work and have some adult conversations lol, but when I can't leave the house for more than an hour at a time I'm not holding my hopes out too much at the moment. Keeping everything crossed in a couple more weeks this will pass & I'll finally get that pregnancy glow I've heard about lol!

You have my sympathies!! I felt like utter shit from weeks 6 through to week 19 and I was off work for about 7 weeks. I was so ill and so miserable to the point I was even wishing I wasn't pregnant.

But at 20 weeks the cloud lifted and I could finally start enjoy being pregnant.

Take each day as it comes and take as much time off work as you need

Thank you for your replies, hoping in the next few weeks I start to perk up! Don't think I'll be rushing back to work until I'm managing to eat more and this passes!
