I'm 6+4 and having hideous nausea lasting all day. Finding mealtimes stressful as most food I've consumed recently is repulsing me. I'm a primary teacher so have a very active job and have been totally floored this weekend! Friday night I was asleep by 7.45 and woke up Saturday morning at 7. Had a nap 3-4.30 and back in bed 9pm - 7am! Haven't even left the house this weekend due to the nausea making me feel so rubbish. I'm drinking lots of water and tmi still finding myself really constipated. Anyone else feeling this way?

I'm 9 weeks today and SO tired. Had a three-hour nap yesterday afternoon, and still wanted to go to bed at 9pm. DH can't get his head around it!

Also been nauseous since 4 weeks, which is getting pretty tedious!

Me, been suffering since 5 weeks. 11 weeks now and I've lost nearly a stone in weight and the only things I can actually stomach are instant noodles and tiny bits of chocolate. I'm surviving doing the bare minimum and concentrating on keeping my toddler happy. I'm lucky to have a really supportive partner who is helping with housework after hes been at work for 12 hours! Really hoping it clears up soon, I'm self employed and have a backlog of stuff to catch up on!

@Chanel05 I started feeling like this at around 6 weeks, the worst of it lasted until 13 weeks and I was a lot better by 18 weeks. I know a lot of people start to feel better much sooner though Smile
I'm a social worker and had to take almost a month off work as I physically and mentally couldn't do the job at my worst - don't feel bad at all if you need to get signed off and ask your GP about medication if it's unbearable. I called mine in tears a few times!
I was repulsed by almost every food, I could only really manage plain carbs, ice lollies and a bit of fruit. Cold fizzy drinks sometimes helped a little
I'm sorry you're feeling so awful, just take it a day at a time and rest as much as you can

8+2, and same here. Have to go to lovely friend's birthday tea party and no idea how I will cope.

8+6 and same here. We have just come back from a holiday and I found the whole trip so difficult. We were doing a trip so not much relaxing and the constant nausea is exhausting as well as the tiredness. I love food but nothing looks good to me anymore! Bah, I’m so happy to be pregnant but it’s so hard and can’t wait for this to ease!! Sending hugs to everyone feeling like this

Same here, I am crippled with nausea all day 24/7. Fingers crossed it'll start to lift at around 12 weeks 😭😭😭

7 + 2 here and suffering with all day nausea. With dd1 I got it in the afternoon/evening for a few hours and that was it-this time it is all day and only helped my eating absolutely crap food-I was a stone heavier than last time I was pregnant so already stressing about that but at this rate of going I am going to be huge and that's not even taking into account baby weight!

I bought some of those travel sickness bands from amazon and hopefully they will help because it is getting me down Sad

I was exactly the same OP! It went by 12 weeks so I hope it does for you too. Smile

I am 6+2 and this last week have been completely incapable of doing anything till about 1pm. It has completely taken me by surprise since I sailed through my first two pregnancies, apart from being mega tired in the first trimesters! The nausea is completely debilitating. There is a gourmet burger restaurant in the mall nearby and that is the only thing that helps. Those guys are going to make a killing, I feel like I should be able to get them if prescription 🤣

mamaskelz · 27/01/2020 19:34

@badg3r 🤣🤣🤣

I started a thread earlier today at how exhausted I am at 11 weeks to the point where there must be something else wrong with me? I could stay in bed all day I reckon. If I didn’t have to eat so often to keep the nausea at bay!
