Ive recently found out I’m pregnant and I’m roughly 6 weeks. It’s my first. I haven’t had many symptoms however I find myself crying an awful lot over nothing really I just want to stay in my pjs and sleep and it’s just making me feel abit useless and like I won’t be able to handle pregnancy let alone becoming a mum. I’m just getting over bronchitis on top so feel a little run down my partner has been fantastic but from women who have been there am I being pathetic or is this normal and will it pass?

I was the same at first, I didnt start to feel like myself until I was about 9-10 weeks pregnant. I think it is all the hormones, plus the anxiety of being pregnant that comes into play.
I found watching reruns of comedy shows ect took my mind of things. Hopefully it will get easier for you.

I found pregnancy much, much harder than motherhood.
I struggled throughout and everyone scared me by saying that pregnancy was nothing compared to the newborn phase. Well, I found the newborn phase to be a breeze compared to my pregnancy - so don't let this worry you.
Growing a baby is tough and the first trimester is particularly hard. Be kind to yourself and rest if you need to.
I'm sure you'll cope just fine with motherhood.
