Fed up. Please don’t judge!

I’m currently 9 weeks pregnant. Baby very much planned and wanted by both of us, I’ve been wanting a baby for ages it was just never the right time until now. We got pregnant on our first attempt so feeling very lucky.

But I’m utterly miserable. I hate being pregnant.
From 5 weeks I’ve been sick none stop. If I eat I throw up if I don’t eat I throw up. I wake up to be sick. I’m shattered, exhausted, constantly bloated (painfully so), I have a permanent headache and feel weak 24/7. I’m on anti sickness medication which helps but isn’t a cure. I haven’t even been able to go for my first lot of bloods, I carry a sick bucket everywhere I go, I cannot even work which means I’ve not earned for the last month which is only adding to the stress.

We’ve had an early scan last week and everything was fine. I of course dont want anything bad to happen but I feel like if it did, at least the bad stuff would be over. I feel like an awful person for thinking like that. I’ve already decided I’m not falling pregnant ever again.

I’m just so done

@MissMarion I kind of agree, my community midwife has been very dismissive of my struggles which is really shocking! I do also agree that there is a stigma surrounding pregnancy sickness almost like we should just accept it. Thankfully I’ve found my doctor to be amazing, they listen to me and have put me on ondansetron alongside my metoclopromide. I’ve only just taken my second tablet of ondansetron but I can tell a difference already (no miracles though!). I’ve heard a lot of women complain their gp’s don’t listen to them and it makes me so sad.
