Pregnancy symptoms at night??

[Hearts2507]

Please help. I've suffered with pregnancy symptoms every day since week 4 and I'm now coming up to 11 weeks. I thought I was starting to feel better but today I have felt worse than ever I actually broke down and cried. My nausea is actually improving, although I still have little appetite. But the worst is in the evening. Every night from around 5pm until I go to sleep I feel horrendous. It feels like I'm coming down with flu with a hangover and jet lag thrown in. I can't move from the sofa. This is every night but today was the worst. Nothing makes me feel better - tried having a bath, drinking more water, different types of food, napping. I've spoke to my doctor and my midwife about how ill I am but they just dismiss it as normal pregnancy symptoms and that it should get better by week 12. They tested my urine, blood pressure etc all normal. Not heard back from my blood test so I assume no problems there. I've tried googling my symptoms but nothing comes up, only morning sickness but nothing about feeling ill at night. My gut feeling is telling me it is not normal to feel like this and something is wrong but I can't figure out what. Has anyone else felt like this particularly in the evening?

I had evening nausea and evening headaches up until about 19 weeks. Healthy pregnancy and baby at the end of it. Trust your gut though, keep speaking to the midwife if you don't feel right x

Unfortunately I think this is normal. I felt worse in the evenings. Tired from the day, a bit nauseous because of less appetite....only solution was bed and sleep.

They've tested multiple things and not found anything so....hope you start feeling better soon!

Thanks for reassuring me this is normal. It doesn't help when my friends all loved being pregnant and didn't suffer from symptoms at all! I'll give it a couple more weeks and then I will go back to my doctor.

@Hearts2507 hmm ignore the friends saying it was a breeze! There not goin through it now and can't compare as its been and gone. I'm nearly 15 weeks pregnant and feel dreadful at night but I think it's a mix of tiredness and running around after the children I have and not sleeping very well. At the moment I'm suffering with hay-fever so finding that difficult too! Hope you start to pick up soon.

I'd understand if I had a reason to be exhausted but I don't. I only did a half day at work today and it was the easiest day. I came home and rested all afternoon, no kids to look after. I don't know how people manage to hold down a job/look after children on top of this!

Pregnancy is exhausting you've got a baby inside growing taking all the goodness and everything it needs so u may suffer a little make sure your taking pregnancy vitamins and eat some nutritional foods to keep you goin. X

Hello I am 10 weeks pregnant tomorrow I have been feeling very sick but not being sick wondering if this is normal plus my first pregnancy so I am so scared about loosing the baby xx please can anyone help reassure me that everything will be ok :) xx

@Hearts2507 I'm 11 and a half weeks and have had many thoughts like this over the past couple of weeks. How on earth does anyone manage to be pregnant if they are working, have more kids etc?? I seriously feel so ill from it sometimes. Like you, it's worse in the evenings, and some nights I go to bed at 7pm! It doesn't help with people telling me it'll be much worse when the baby's here.

I've just accepted now that some women feel worse than others. I've always had a lot of symptoms with periods etc, so I think I'm sensitive to hormones. Things seem to be picking up slightly as I approach 12 weeks and I'm on anti sickness meds from the GP that have helped a lot. Try to stay positive and rest when you need to. It won't be forever x

@hollyhd I've never had any problems with periods, but I do have a sensitive stomach and would often feel sick easily - but nothing like this! I tried antisickness meds but they didn't do anything for nausea and just made me more drowsy!
With people saying it will be worse when the baby gets here I don't think that's true. Yes I'll be exhausted with a newborn but I won't be feeling sick all the time, I'll be off work, and the tiredness can be shared with DH at least!
Hope you feel better soon - you are a bit ahead of me so let me know if your symptoms get better at 12 weeks!

@544L that's pregnancy morning sickness.

Ah ok I am new to all of this never been pregnant before what should I expect at 10 weeks pregnant:) xx

It's boringly normal - I'm now pregnant with a surprise 4th and that dull constant wave of sickness is back like an old friend.
with the other 3 I was sick all the way through; this one I just feel sick all the time and it wakes me at night.
The only bonus is that being awake in the night from the beginning means a newborn being awake in the night isn't such a shift change and I wasn't so tired.
as for getting on it with it with other kids and work - weirdly it just seems to happen...you throw up as you make them breakfast; in the washing but just carry on. There's less lying down but that's ok - lying down is a treat with pregnancy one and should be enjoyed at every second!! Make the most of it!
