How do I cope with pregnancy symptoms?

I'm 7 weeks pregnant, the pregnancy was a complete shock and wasn't planned. I'm not feeling that much nausea but the tiredness and the mood swings are like nothing I've ever experienced. I literally feel like a different person and I'm struggling to adjust. My partner and I have only been together 10 months so I feel as though we're already having trouble navigating new dynamics. I don't really feel like being intimate or even talking some days and he is just really frustrated. I understand its hard for him but I'm getting really annoyed since it's not him who is going through the intense changes. I suppose I just want to be reassured that it will get better and any tips on how to deal with his expectations will be much appreciated.

Tbh he needs to suck it up. You're the one going through a massive hormonal and physical change, and he's frustrated?! You will likely start to feel better at around 11 or 12 weeks for a while but he needs to be supporting you not whinging about the lack of intimacy or whatever.

Make sure you get plenty of sleep. If you need to go to bed at 8:30pm, do it. As Slowrunner07 said, your partner will just have to put up with it. Pregnant or not, everyone’s grumpy when they’re exhausted. But you will feel a lot better in about a month and a half’s time, so keep remembering this is temporary.
