Hi

I’m wondering if anyone can help me.
Being pregnant while in isolation when you live alone and not with the baby’s father is becoming a bit more of a strange feeling day by day but I keep reminding myself this won’t be forever.
I’m 10 weeks pregnant tomorrow, I was beginning to think my hormones were calming down a bit and things might be getting easier.
This is my first pregnancy that’s got this far I was pregnant 10 years ago that ended in a miscarriage quite early in so I was unaware of any real symptoms.
I feel like I’ve had every symptom in the book, I’m really struggling with sleep, I’ve been awake since 3:45am, my body feels like it’s rushing I can never relax, I’ve been struggling with sickness I have tried ginger it’s not a massive help. My whole body aches prematurely!! I’m taking paracetamol every 4 hours to try and help the pain.
Im not at work at the moment with everything going on with Coronavirus & I think thankfully because I don’t think I would be any use right now. I’m trying my best to eat but food is not appealing to me at all. Anything I do eat I don’t enjoy.
People keep telling me that this should go after the first trimester?
I feel like I can’t tell people because I forever sound like I’m moaning but feeling this way everyday in isolation also is just becoming a real struggle some days I just want to sit any cry (I know that is the hormones) 🤣
Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to possibly ease some of these symptoms?
This is a long winded message I do apologise.

Hi... just wanted to say that for me, the first trimester in both my pregnancies has been awful, and I think that’s fairly common.

Unreal tiredness, nausea/sick, wild mood swings making me question everything, extreme sensitivity to some smells

I too had insomnia every night from about 2/3am - 5/6 am.

But then around week 11/12 the clouds lifted, and the second trimester is a lot better in many ways!

Hang on in there, you are hopefully going to come out the other side soon :) x

Thank You so much I really appreciate it 🙂 x

I'm nearly 12 weeks. First trimester was pretty bad. Having dry breakfast cereal or a biscuit before I even got out of bed helped. Don't get to hungry. Hot water bottle and lots of water...

There's a pregnancy yoga on YouTube that helped me with morning sickness too.

It's really hard being in isolation and being pregnant. Especially if you are by yourself but remember it's going to be worth it and you are amazing. You can do it and you will get to 2 trimester and isolation will lift soon.

Better days are coming. Wishing you all the best. 🌈👊

Hi @New20 there is a very friendly thread here if you want some company 😊 I'm ten weeks today as well so we are due date twins (in theory anyway!).

Thank To Everyone for your support and kind words! I’ve woken up feeling much better this morning so I’m trying to get as much done around the house incase it doesn’t last 🤞🏻
I really do appreciate the support & congratulations to the expecting mums also 👶🏼🖤
