Early pregnancy difficult

[jal1992]

Hi everyone
I feel so terrible writing this, as I have been trying to conceive my second baby with my husband for over a year now, and now finally we are 8 weeks pregnant and the nausea, tiredness and food/drink aversions are making me feel so low! More than anything I was just hoping somebody is experiencing anything like this?!
My nausea is so constant during the day, that I now stay up until 4am so I can spend the majority of the day in bed and it makes me feel disgusting. When I finally wake up at around 2.30pm I’m sick a few times and can’t even stand the taste of water. How on earth are you supposed to rehydrate if you can’t drink water?! The PLAINEST drink ever?! Food and drink tastes completely different and I genuinely cannot remember from my first pregnancy whether I will feel normal again until after baby is born. Just feeling a little isolated more than anything, thank god my wonderful husband has taken over running the house and looking after our son or I’d be a complete and utter mess. Please ladies, if anyone is experiencing this too let me know! X

You poor thing. Sickness and exhaustion are the worst.

I found that tap water made me feel really sick in my first pregnancy and I tried a few bottled waters and the only one I liked was Highland Spring. It literally has no taste.
Maybe try bottles and see how it goes.
I know too well how awful it is so just take it easy, listen to what your body needs and if it gets too much, go see your gp as they may be able to give you something to help.

Hoping you feel better soon xx

Hi @jal1992. So sorry to hear you're feeling like this. I'm exactly 10 weeks today and I think Week 8 was the worst the for me. I never actually vomited but between Week 5 and Week 10, I felt absolutely AWFUL. Any kind of food made me retch, couldn't stomach anything. Felt like I was carrying a huge lump in my stomach that just wouldn't go away. I was also very tired, couldn't get out of bed... feeling totally disgusting and isolated.
However, I'm starting to see some sort of light at the end of the tunnel (touch wood) ... I felt much better yesterday and this morning I'm not feeling sick either .... could it be that I'm past the worst ??
Anyway, hang on in there, I'm sure it will pass soon.
Wishing you all the very very best and sending positive vibes ;-) xxx

@mrsmummy90 I’m so worried I’m dehydrated, I usually hate juice but it’s the only way I can drink water now! I just really want my energy back so I don’t feel so utterly useless, I feel so ugly and sweaty from non stop sleeping

Give it a few more weeks and you'll notice a huge change! The first trimester sucks xxx
