Apologies for the moany post. I am so very grateful to be pregnant, but wow I am finding it tough. A lot tougher than I expected naively.
I am only 6 1/2 weeks, and have had bad nausea since the positive test two weeks ago. At the weekend the vomiting was so bad I had an emergency GP appt and got prescribed cyclizine due to ketones in my urine.
The cyclizine has improved things, but I still feel like a sack of potatoes. I’m working from home (thank gosh) with no ability to go to the office. I can’t leave my bed or sofa let alone go on a train. I’m eating so many carbs just to help stave off the nausea and I’m worried I’ll have put on more weight that I should. I’m cancelling all my plans with friends as I don’t want them to know I’m pregnant and the thought of being in a restaurant having lunch etc makes me feel awful. We were planning to book a holiday when I’m 11 weeks but I feel like telling DH not to bother as I won’t enjoy it. Sorry I’m so Whingey!
I know sickness is meant to peak at 9 weeks, and I just feel like I am at the bottom of a mountain. I can’t see how I can get to 9 weeks, let alone longer. I’m praying it does subside after the first trimester.
How did you wise mothers get through this?
