Is anyone else out there still feeling awful?
Come and moan with me! I feel like I am the worst pregnant person ever.

I'm almost 18 weeks now.
Still feeling sick and on medication for it.
Bad headaches almost daily.
Utterly exhausted.
Brain fog/zombie feeling.
And as a special treat I have a trapped nerve in my neck 😭

@bunhead34 I hear ya! I'm just over 16 weeks and feel exhausted, constant headaches and struggling to function. X

19 weeks. Could barely get off the sofa today. The struggle was real. Would have slept all day, but for needing to mind my toddler (who was luckily pretty content with making marks and then ripping up paper).

Off to sleep now.

I feel your pain! Just 16 weeks and also having the worst headaches every day! Also struggling with awful reflux, tiredness and constant starvation! Awake every 3 hours overnight to eat as I seem to be a bottomless pit ...

I had the easiest first trimester ever... thought I'd breeze through this pregnancy stuff. NOPE now at 20 weeks I have awful debilitating trapped wind that makes me retch from the pain and excruciating round ligament that comes from nowhere. Hoping it improves...

I feel your pain too...
16 weeks here and feeling dreadful. Vomiting has finally stopped (well it's been 4 days without). But still have the nausea, completely exhausted, sleep is rubbish - struggling to get it and wake up feeling like I've not slept, and terrible acid reflux. Food has become a battleground. I also take a fair amount of meds to maintain the pregnancy and the nausea makes this harder.
This pregnancy would be dc2 and I swear I didn't feel this awful first time around. Really hoping that I'll start to feel better before the 40 weeks are up. It's possible right?!

Sorry you ladies are struggling, but glad
I'm not the only one!
Had no sleep last night due to the trapped nerve pain. And all I can do is stupid exercises off internet 😭

I take back what I said about the exercises - they worked!

@Lollol86 @KinderWild - feel the same as you both and also 16 weeks. Blahhhhh. Terrible headaches that last all day. Tired and bloated. Nausea has eased up but experiencing bad indigestion. First pregnancy was SO easy compared to this one!
