17 weeks and still feel pants ....

[user1468348545]

Anyone else? Felt so terrible during my 1st trimester... vomiting, exhaustion, aches and pains, headaches.. so I was really looking forward to my second trimester and the hopeful reprieve of the 1st trimester horridness! Well here I am 17 weeks in and still feeling soooooo terrible!
Except now ive got heartburn, acid refluc and ligament pains to add to the list!!
Super jealous of those who feel much better!!
Midwife says it sounds like I'm just one of the unlucky ones who does feel pretty rough throughout!!

Anyway just wanted a light hearted rant about feeling pants!! So anyone want to join me...

I think it should take time to subside, so not really as soon as you enter the second trimester. I wasnt one of the unlucky ones, but I suffer from anxiety and tokophobia, which made me feel pretty much on edge throughout as well. I have a colleague at work, however, who had the same bouts like you and she told me that by 19/20 weeks she started feeling better and finally enjoying her pregnancy. So give it another 2-3 weeks - which is not so long given what you have been through. She told me though that she then developed rashes and some problems with her legs related to developing very dry skin due to months of dehydration. So try to drink plenty of water and oil your body. So sorry you are feeling like this...

Thank you! I do have pre existing heart conditions as well so they may be playing a part too! Seeing the consultants this week so hopefully will get some helpful advice. Just needed a bit of a vent and felt bad as my DP keeps getting it in the ear haha

I could have written this. I have felt severely hungover since about five weeks and I'm now over 17. And it's getting worse. Nothing makes it any better except being asleep, and even then I sometimes feel so sick it wakes me up. So yeah, I feel your pain xx
