I’m 7 weeks and have been feeling really nauseous lately. No vomiting thank god (I’m rarely ever sick anyway). When I’m hungry I can barely stand up due to dizziness, then after a small meal I’m done and feel sick for the rest of the day. My prenatal vitamins are so big I can barely swallow them without gagging and I’ve forgotten them the past few days which I think could be making me worse (I’m in the middle of packing to move house so they’re constantly being moved but tonight I’ve put them in my bag so I’ll always remember them).
It feels like a viscous cycle because I can only eat small meals at a time and the nausea means I generally eat just one meal a day but then I’m hungry again and back to feeling sick and dizzy. I have no cravings or anything I feel I can eat without making me feel sick so I’m just struggling at the minute because it feels like I’m running on empty and it’s exhausting.
I feel like a fraud for not physically being sick but i never felt this horrific in my other pregnancies. I keep crying because I don’t know how I’m supposed to cope for weeks feeling this rubbish. I know it’s all normal but I sailed right through previous pregnancies. My partner is great and has taken over pretty much everything so I can rest but no amount of rest helps.
Please tell me it gets better
