Pregnancy nausea, loss of appetite and weight loss - fed up!

[Lgw20]

Hey mummas to be!

Coming on here for a moan today! 8 weeks along and I’m so sick of feeling sick.

I’m usually have nausea 20 hours of the day, with throwing up every few days. Isn’t this lovely!

I’m starting to loose weight and I’m a little concerned this could harm my bubba? It’s just I have no appetite but force myself to eat to help the nausea.

I try drink as much as I can in a day, whether that’s water, squash or ice lollies!

No one told me much about these early stages! I feel completely wiped out an emotionally drained. I’m so fed up of feeling ill but feel I can’t moan too much as I had a recent miscarriage. But it’s tough! I’ve never known exhaustion or nausea like this.

Sorry for long rant, just needing some support as it’s really getting to me right now!

Hi Lovely Lady,
Trust me it gets easier 😊
You may still have it rough for the next few weeks but you can do it.
I had horrendous sickness up to 14weeks and thought I'd die, I couldn't eat either and lost over a stone (this is my third baby and I'm now 33weeks)
Try eating ginger biscuits, mints and sipping water it may help slightly. I also had some pregnancy mints from Mabel and Maud on Amazon.
Keep your midwife inform if you aren't keeping anything down as the doctor can prescribe medication which does help. Just be mindful of becoming dehydrated.

Your body is going through some amazing changes and you will be exhausted but from about 14 weeks you should feel great and glowing and really be able to enjoy pregnancy and showing off your little bump 😊 just listen to your body and rest when you can.
Good Luck with the rest of your pregnancy xx

I completely understand how you feel, I am getting a little better but posted something pretty much the same as you a few weeks ago! Stemetil from my GP was helpful for nausea, but does make you extra tired so I just embraced that and slept a lot!
I hope things improve over the next few weeks for you.
