I'm around 7 weeks with my 3rd pregnancy I have a 4 year old and 2 year old, the nausea has subsided but now i feel so exhausted and weak, it's so hard to just get off the sofa, my heart beats very fast in the morning when I get up. My stomach feels huge already, Feel dizzy too and breathless , I had an ecg and bloods yesterday and they were both normal
Can't remember struggling this much the previous times Sad

I can’t help but just to tell you you’re not alone. I’m nearly 12 weeks and struggling with so many symptoms and it’s wiping me out. Working full time and have a toddler and I’m dreaming of the when I can have a normal day or at least feel some form of energy!

I remember feeling the same at 7 weeks. The only thing that got me through was that I had already booked off a week and abit from work so used it to sleep as much as I could while dc was at school. It improved for me around 12 weeks

I felt dreadful too but it improved within 1-2 weeks so hopefully it will for you too xx

I also feel like this at 8 weeks. Previous pregnancy (ended in misscarriage) wasn't as bad as this. The exhaustion and fatigue are unbearable, and nausea sometimes all day if not most of the day. I'm struggling to function, made worse by a bad cold last week, which I think is turning into a chest infection.

Fingers crossed it eases for us both in a few weeks 🤞

8+5 with a three year old and feel the same. I've been such a rubbish Mum today 😔

I felt the tiredness really kicked in around 7 weeks too, I can remember going to the supermarket on my lunch break and genuinely feeling like I wouldn’t be able to walk back to the office. It peaked around week 9 but in that time I literally just survived, don’t feel guilty if that’s all you can do. Leave any chores that you can, get someone else to cook for you if possible and go to bed as early as you can.

I’m 7+2 and I’m also finding it really hard going. I’ve got a 9 year old and 7 year old and don’t remember having so many awful symptoms. I slept 6pm-6am a couple of nights ago and still felt exhausted.
