I'm 6 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I found I was pregnant just before 4 weeks and I have felt sick since but it's just got worse and worse.
This is my 2nd baby and I feel absolutely awful, I don't even want to get out of bed in the morning I have no motivation to do anything, I feel sick all day long, I have these on and off headaches. I'm starving all the time but most food makes me sick. I'm sooo snappy to my partner.

I feel so guilty because I'm not being the best mommy to my 2 year old, I feel bad that I'm struggling.
I had a miscarriage before this pregnancy and I feel bad for even moaning but I did not feel this bad with my son. I had sickness and stuff but this time I'm Litreally finding it hard to even complete day to day activities.

Did anyone feel like this? Please tell me it's going to settle off soon.

Early pregnancy is horrible, I felt so sick and tired all the time. Much better by 11 weeks though.

It’s probably worth getting some anti nausea medication from your GP if it’s affecting you really badly.

There’s no need to feel guilty though - you don’t need to add guilt to your woes!

Thank you I'm gonna call them tomorrow. I've also saw these wrist bands that you can get too so I'm gonna try them.

Thank you! It's so tough isn't it. Roll on 11/12 weeks

Yes I was awful until about 9 weeks pregnant! I barely ate for weeks. It suddenly tapered off and I'm now 34 weeks and doing fine! (Apart from the bad back etc 😂). I ended up on anti nausea medication and it helped a lot so please don't suffer give your GP a ring. I found that things I could stomach were strawberries cut up, fruit ice lolly's and sometimes some nice cereal like cookie crisp. I struggled even opening the fridge for weeks though. Just take each day as it comes, I used to tell myself to just get through the day and not think too far ahead. Fingers crossed you feel better soon!

That is Litreally me right now, I'm eating so many tip tops and so much fruit just to try and help it. I didn't manage to have some pasta this afternoon but I can even think about touching meat.
I'm definitely going to call my gp in the morning to get me something to help

Yes l felt terrible until 20 weeks. I have not enjoyed my pregnancy this time, also no2. I can't wait for it to be over!!

I'm also really struggling with pregnancy #2, I can't believe how strong my symptoms are! Sometimes the sickness takes away from the excitement and I'm also feeling guilty that I'm not giving everything to my 2 year old. Hopefully we'll feel better soon 😫
