First trimester

[1appledays]

Ever since I did the pregnancy test I have been feeling sick all the time, can’t stand smells of cooking or poo(!) and totally exhausted. No energy to play with my little one or be even slightly affectionate to my husband. He’s doing everything and I feel useless. Nappy changes of my toddler make me gag and the house is a heap with jobs piling up. But I want a baby and should feel bless and happy right?! This adds to my self loathing. Scan isn’t til I’m week 14 which feels like forever (currently ten weeks)

11 weeks and I feel exactly the same way! The slightest smell of anything makes me gag and the only time I don't feel like I am about to vomit is when I am asleep.

I would like to sleep straight through to the magic point in the 2nd trimester when all of this is supposed to disappear. I am praying it does because all of this nonsense is not ok with me.

Yep, first trimester is shit. Would rather go through labour than the first trimester any day! I’m pregnant with my third and this time the sickness didn’t stop until 20 weeks .

Yes I feel the same! I never realised I would feel so bad in the 1st trimester! The worse part is you can't talk openly about it. Does anyone else feel like they have the flu? Come evening time I am so achey and I feel hot and cold shivery. Anyone else?

I'm only 7 weeks and I'm exhausted and sick every morning before work. I've had enough of it already! I don't know how people do it with kids, I can't even get myself to work on time at the moment. I'm hoping it gets better in a few weeks and telling myself it will all be worth it. Hopefully yours will stop very soon.

I'm hating every single moment of it too! We will get through it.

I had no idea the first trimester was this rough! 24/7 nausea, every time I sit down I fall asleep (sat up!) I am so so bloated too I just feel dreadful. I have my jacket on and off all day at work as I can't decide if I am boiling or freezing!

I have no idea how far along I am until I go for my scan in the next couple of weeks, could be anything between 7+3-11 weeks, hoping more towards 11 so I don't have to go through this much longer 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I feel for you all! I am exactly the same. Constant nausea and fatigue. I also feel useless so trying to set myself small goals for the day whether it be to put a washing on or clean the floor. Last night my husband and I went out for first meal since pregnant, it wasn't enjoyable at all! Most things on menu turned my stomach! Roll on second trimester!!! x

I know that feeling @Kimberlily we went for tea on Friday night after our reassurance scan to celebrate, and I ate half my food, asked the waitress to box it up and went home to bed. I feel horrendous every day, this baby will be an only child at this rate because I ain't doing this again!

@Sparkles1992 Tell me about it!!! My husband just said at the weekend he would like 3 children!! He can carry them if he wants more than this one! 😂 x

@Kimberlily I suggested a big age gap and mine didn't agree ! Tough ha ha.

@Sparkles1992 One it is then!😂 xx

Oh god me too! I feel awful. I'm almost 12 weeks and the 24/7 nausea is starting to ease up a bit.
However it eased up last week and then I started actually throwing up on a few occasions which I hadn't had before! So who knows
We originally wanted two children but with the way this is going, there's no way I'm carrying another one!

It's tough isn't it. I'm feeling exhausted this time around as 18 month old is a handful. No idea how people do this whilst also working and having kids. The nausea is a killer and the bloating. Is anyone else super bloated? I'm getting concerned this level of bloating isn't normal xx

I’ve just come out of first trimester and there is hope ladies! Nausea has reduced a lot but I still have gas / bloated. Trying to suss out a cure 😂 You got this 💪🏾

Yeah, it's shit. I'm 7+3, have a two year old and work 3 days a week, I'm on my knees! I feel sick all the time, I'm knackered and achy! DS is going through a bad phase sleep wise and has been up for 2-3 hours in the night the last few nights so I've had about 6 hours sleep since the Saturday. This too shall pass!
