Please give me hope! Early pregnancy symptoms

[Janedoelondon]

Hi everyone

Please give me hope!

8 weeks pregnant and I feel like I have been hit by a bus. Exhausted beyond belief and constantly nauseated which medication is taking the edge off, though still vomiting a few times a day.

I have a 10 month old and am struggling to move beyond the sofa/toilet each day.

Please give me hope - have you felt like this? When did it end? I am telling myself I will feel a lot better by 12 weeks and hopefully fully better by 14/16 weeks (like my last pregnancy), but it feels like so long away....

Thanks!!

Hi, nearly 8 weeks pregnant, currently lying on the sofa! I’m napping every day. DC5 gets me up at 6am every day, I’m ready to sleep again by 8am. Afternoon nap if I can, and again 9/10pm ish. Also felt like this for first, and it did end, I don’t remember when, but probably by 12 or 14 weeks as you say. So difficult at this time when you can’t explain to everyone how you feel and why!

Sending hugs and solidarity your way!

It is so hard isn't it!

I feel so much guilt for my little boy - we used to go out every day and do lots of things together but just isn't possible at the moment. He's having to really learn how to play independently bless him - so hard!

I'm 14 weeks tomorrow and still so fatigued 😩 the heats not helping. I just can't be arsed to do anything. Never want to get out of bed. Don't feel like i sleep enough. Every night I fall asleep like at 8/9 on the sofa, my partner tells me to go to bed and I'm like no unless you carry me. He actually did last night 🤣 I just have zero energy. Got a 1 year old. I'm just glad he sleeps through the night. I hope it gets easier for you soon 😊 xx
