Just feel so rubbish

I feel so bad writing this because I was desperate to get pregnant and tried for two years.

But, I feel so rubbish, constantly nauseous and constantly gagging, I can't face food or even a glass of water and I'm living off porridge and toasted t- cakes.

My partner keeps telling me I just need to get up and do something but I just can't face it! He seems to think fresh air is the answer.

He wants me to go out with him in town and food shopping and I know that if I say no he's going to sulk with me.

I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow and dr has prescribed some cyclaziene but it's not really doing anything 😢

If you had the energy I'd tell you to funt your partner up the backside. You need to rest and mind yourself, he will 1000000000% never understand pregnancy symptoms.

@BudgetBuster I've told him he doesn't have a clue but thinks he knows best! 🙄

Your partner needs to wind his fucking neck in, quite frankly!

Tell him that next time he’s really poorly and sick in bed you’ll remember this.

Don’t feel guilty for not enjoying pregnancy, early pregnancy is rubbish. I was so exhausted and feeling sick all the time is horrible.

Hope it passes soon. I felt much better after 14 weeks with my first and 12 weeks with my second.

Hi @Izzycharlieollie i totally hear you hun, honestly it will get better. For me the 1st trimester is hard, body changes, hormones, nausea, tiredness. If you can, take a nap when you can, it really helps.
Not long and you'll be into your 2nd trimester yay! Xx

God he sounds awful, what a time for him to be unsupportive.

I felt worst from weeks 6 to 12 but thankfully didn't have to deal with an unreasonable partner. DH did what any kind person would do and encouraged me to rest / got food for me when I felt like eating/ listened to my moaning.

Your partner needs to step up and start taking care of you, not demanding things of you. You're growing his child!

If the cyclaziene isn't working then speak to your GP again and they will try you on something else.

You might find that you see a big drop in your symptoms as you get through week 10. It's the most common week for the placenta to take over from the yolk and many women report feeling a lot better when that happens.

Good luck! :)

You're partner is completely wrong and needs to Google pregnancy sickness! Resting is absolutely the right thing for you right now and he should be taking care of you. Hopefully things will start to improve for you in the next couple of weeks. I felt much better at 13 weeks. In the meantime, rest and eat whatever you feel you can manage.

Sorry you’re feeling so unwell. It does get better but I know it’s really tough when you’re in the middle of it. I remember wondering if I’d ever feel ok ever again. You partner needs to educate himself. Pregnancy is soooo hard on the body and you need your rest x

I’m at 12 weeks and still feeling constant nausea/ gagging vomiting and no medication has worked. I’m really sorry however that your partner is not understanding, my heart goes out to you because I can imagine how tough that must be. I find that resting and sleep is the only thing which helps- don’t start to believe him, you really are feeling unwell, stay resting. Is there anyone else you could get to come over and treat you nicely so it normalises you getting some care and he can then see what you need?
