I’m 9w4d with my first and feeling dreadful. There’s nothing I want to eat, I feel nauseous almost all day, my boobs are swollen and my nipples feel like they’ve been sandpapered, I’m constipated and everything smells 10x stronger than usual, which isn’t helping with the nausea! I’m exposed to a lot of unpleasant smells at work and finding myself struggling not to heave in front of patients. I can’t keep my eyes open in the evenings and then I’m wide awake in the middle of the night. I’m bloated and feeling pretty gross.
I know I’m very lucky to be pregnant and I’m very excited, I just hope this phase passes soon as I’d love to be able to just enjoy my pregnancy and get ready for my baby!
