Really struggling :(

[Luckyme30]

I am only 6 weeks pregnant and already feeling as though I can not cope. I haven't slept properly in a week, I've been suffering from nausea all day (now on Meds which is helping slightly) either feel bunged up or the other way desperate to go and excuriating pains in the evenings. Please someone tell me it'll all be worth it In the end and that these things will ease up.

I'm really struggling right now all I want to do is sleep to try and forget the pains!

Anyone else experiencing the pains in the evening? Not sure if it's trapped wind causing the cramps but they are keeping me awake at night :(

Hi, sorry to read of your difficulties. It is worth it in the end . And for a large proportion of women the sickness goes after a few more weeks. Hang in there and do whatever you need to to make yourself comfortable. Re the pains, I had them in my first pregnancy and one thing that helped me was to eat my evening meal earlier - if it got to 7:30 - 8 I would feel worse at night. But do mention the pain to your doctor too in case they have any thoughts. Hope you feel better soon.

I was also a mess at week 6. TBH it stayed bad for a few weeks but the meds helped a lot. As did taking time off work and lying in bed, which was all I could do at that point.

It does get better. Take care of yourself, rest, know that more drugs are available if the first ones don't do the trick.

You're not alone, I felt terrible feeling it but I hated every minute up until about 2 days ago and I'm 14 and a half weeks now lol felt horrendous 24/7 and I'm one of the those pain in the ass ill people anyway, let alone a pregnant ill person! And had told my partner by about week 8 that I was under no circumstances having anymore than 1 child
thankfully I seem to have found that going back onto pregnacare vitamins has started to help, I think for me I was run down and depressing myself wasn't helping. You will find ways to help your symptoms, I had horrendous nausea and still do a bit now and I found if I was hungry it was worse, but also if I was too full it would make me sick.
Just experiment and see what helps, it will be worth it in the end!

I had some form of back/hip issue from week 6, I thought alot about was it worth it, I can never do this again etc etc.
The tiredness/nausea etc all did die down about 12 weeks in for me.

15 weeks old sunday. Worth it the second I saw her. Planning to do it all 3 more times now despite the hip problems. Would love with the pregnancy issues forever to keep my baby girl if I needed to.

Good luck it will all be so so worth it

Live with, not love with

Thank you for your responses. All very helpful.

I'm back in bed again this afternoon trying to take it easy. I'm shattered by 3pm and not sleeping at night! I can feel myself getting more and more depressed about how I feel. I've never felt so weak. Think I will speak to the doctor and see what he suggests. I suffer from vitamin b12 deficiency and so maybe that's playing a part in the tiredness too! Trying to stay strong but struggling x

Sorry to hear you're struggling. I had cramp like pains before my BFP and they lasted until about 8-9 weeks. So bad they woke me up in the night and I thought that there was no chance this baby was going to stick. I too was incredibly tired, slept all day at weekends and as soon as I got in from work during the week. Up until about 10 weeks I kept waking up at 2-3 pm and was wide awake for around 2+ hours which obviously didn't help. I'm 16+5 now and I feel so much more myself. I think I started feeling better at around 10 weeks but since 14 weeks it's really started to pick up. Hope you're better soon.
