Feeling Down

Hello, I’m new on here and this is my first pregnancy. I just need a place to vent at the moment as I’m struggling. I’m just about 15 weeks and everything feels so overwhelming. My partner and I are trying to buy a property, (we’re currently with family), plan a wedding and prepare for this baby that took us totally by surprise! I’m the only woman in the house and my sickness is still relentless, luckily my hospital and GP have been amazing and are monitoring my sickness meds but it feels awkward when I have to rush to the bathroom to be sick. I’m being redeployed to a safer role at work too which has been stressful as I’ve had no rota so can’t plan anything and generally I’m just not feeling myself. My partner is also working crazy amounts of overtime and we both do 12 hour shifts so hardly see each other. All of this combined has left me feeling totally detached from my pregnancy to the point where I can’t even bring myself to look at anything baby related. If anyone has any words of encouragement or advice it would be massively appreciated.

Sorry to hear your feeling so low! I’m also experiencing nausea all day and night and it’s getting me down and I don’t have half as much as you going on! Try and just take 1 day at a time and you will start to feel better soon! Rest as much as you can, you have got this xxx

I hope your nausea eases off soon! I’ll keep everything crossed for you to be able to enjoy your summer without that feeling lingering. Thank you for your supportive words, its easy to forget happier days are coming!
