Feel like pregnancy doesn't agree with my body!

I'm feeling so frustrated and upset today.

Nothing about my pregnancy so far has been enjoyable and I just seem to encounter issue after issue.

First it was just extreme tiredness, headaches and mood swings (all normal I know)

Then it was brown spotting and cramping which was apparently a uti. Had a private early scan to reassure myself and was happy to see a heartbeat at 7 weeks.

Nausea and sickness kicked in (normal so fine) then my body decides to start spotting and cramping yet again - trip to the walk in centre and still have a uti apparently despite antibiotics and they booked me for an early scan for two weeks time (would have been sooner but I'm on holiday this week)

Three days into my holiday cramping and spotting again this time with some on a pad (not enough to fill it) trip to local A&E where they were unable to scan me but did an internal examination and confirmed closed cervix but I do have a ectropion cervix which may be causing the bleeding and may mean I bleed the entire time. Still been out at risk of miscarriage though...

I knew pregnancy would be hard but I feel so lonely and helpless. DH is trying so hard to keep me positive but I'm just convinced this isn't going to work out the way we hope.

Pregnancy doesn't agree with everyone, and it's hard as we are lead to expect to be glowing and feeling great.
Pregnancy is hard, your body is going through so many changes that it can make you feel awful.
I had an awful time, so much so that I said never again! Also, think as a result of how I felt I developed pre and post natal depression. I never got any help and that's my biggest regret.

It's good that your dh is supportive. That can make a big difference, and make sure you speak to your gp or midwife about any worries that you have.

Is this an IVF baby by any chance? If so counselling might help. I’ve just booked myself a session.

Being pregnant is horrible. The only reason to do it is because you want a baby.

I am worried because I have pretty much no symptoms for my pregnancy apart from a bit of nausea in the evenings, being tired and emotional although that could be based on the tiredness and the fact it's been a stressful time with my 'dp' deciding he wants nothing to do with me if I don't abort! Is it bad to have no symptoms at coming on for 11 weeks? I've also gone off a load of healthy foods, but I feel relatively normal apart from that. I'm definitely pregnant and getting chubbier though!

Oops I just realised I posted this as a reply and not as an actual post, I am really sorry. I can see it looks bad considering what your post is about! I am so sorry I feel awful and stupid!

Not an ivf baby, conceived naturally after 6 months, just seems to be a pain!!

@twodogsandcounting BlushBlushthank you for being understanding, so embarrassing xx

I hated being pregnant and I’ve had 4 children (and 2 mcs).

Far from glowing I looked terrible, the sickness would go just to be replaced by horrendous SPD and heartburn. I was miserable.

Was all utterly worth it though Grin
