How do I survive the rest of the first trimester

[koalabearboombox]

I'm 9+5 and I am s-t-r-u-g-g-l-i-n-g so so much. I feel nauseous and exhausted all day every day. I have a 3.5 year old and a full time job and I am not coping with either. I've also developed insomnia and am waking up at 2am and not able to fall back asleep. How oh how do I get through the next few weeks? I don't think I felt better until about 14 weeks with my last pregnancy which feels like light years away.

Help!

You could ask your GP for anti sickness medication - a few of those also cause drowsiness so if taken at bedtime, may help you sleep better too.

Try magnesium sprays / gels for the insomnia x

Anti sickness meds and magnesium tablets helped me a bit x

Honestly, we just have to do whatever it takes to survive!
I'm 11+3 with a 4 year old and this pregnancy has been so much worse than last time. The symptoms lessened a bit at 10 weeks but only for about 5 days and they've come back even worse.
I'm on anti sickness meds but still had to sprint into the house to be sick yesterday and ended up throwing up all over the bathroom floor as I didn't quite make it to the toilet!
I'm utterly exhausted, banging headaches, heartburn, insomnia..... and it's all making me feel very guilty about my 4 year old. I'm also 'trying ' to run a business.
I'm just trying to get through one day at a time at the moment and remind myself it's not forever! We can do this!

I felt exactly the same (currently 22wks), just keep taking multivitamins and eat whatever you can. I was having weird stuff like completely plain pasta and coco pops (which I never have!). I could only have orange squash as plain water made me queasy. It’s just shit!
