Nearly 12 weeks and still don’t feel human!

I apologise if this sounds really moany, but generally I’m trying to kee this contained in my everyday life and using this as an opportunity to offload. I’ll be 12 weeks in 2 days and I still feel shocking. If anything I feel worse in the past week. I started cyclizine on Thursday as I couldn’t cope with the all day nausea and several vomiting episodes. The tablets make me a complete zombie so I’m going between taking them and not taking them and either way I feel crap. I’m so exhausted that even having a shower is hard work. I feel like a shadow of my normal self. Let’s b honest i probably am here for a moan but only because I don’t want to be that pregnant person who just complains to friends all the time, so I’m trying not to go to them about this. Husband is brilliant and so supportive and so is my mum. Just wanting to reach out to see if anyone has any encouraging thoughts or similar experiences as I’m really struggling!

It's a bit of a myth that at 12 weeks you suddenly feel normal again! It took me until around 25 weeks to stop vomiting and keep my eyes open but hang on in there- you'll make it!

If you Can, keep taking the cyclizine every day.
The side effects should wear off soon.
I knows it's horrid feeling like this.
Am 11 weeks and have been on meds for about 4 weeks.

Re having a shower, I find I am better with a bath in the evening, though I did have a sit down shower with our blue step in the bath the other day and that was nice. Just have to make myself do everything slowly.

Just fell asleep for hours on the sofa after taking the tablet. It’s great on a Sunday with nothing to do but not so great with work to go back to tomorrow.

Can you take a few days or the week of sick?
Sounds like you might need to.
