Struggling first trimester

[Motherof1and2dogs]

I wanted to know if I wasn't alone here. I am really struggling this time round with pregnancy, I remember first trimester being hard the first time but not this hard.
My morning sickness is horrendous, lasts all day and happens at night, it is constant! It is making it difficult for me to be a good mum to my toddler, he is pretty much in front of the tv all day or on his tablet because I physically cannot do much with him. He doesn't start nursery until January either but only doing 2 days a week.
I have also been getting very bad anxiety, my panic attacks have come back as well (this is due to hormone changes), feeling very dizzy, headaches, just generally unwell and thinking I cannot do this. It is taking a huge toll on me physically and mentally. I don't have much support either which makes this feel very lonely.
Has anyone else ever really struggled but eventually it got better with time or will I most likely be stuck like this for the whole pregnancy?

It will get better x

I'm not sure if it's a second pregnancy thing or just harder because you are looking after another child at the same time but it's brutal and exhausting. I have found this second pregnancy so much harder than the first - not sure whether that is just my memory blocking out the worst bits or it is actually harder!

I'm 21+3 now and it is better. I sant lie and say it's great because it's not at all and I'm not enjoying pregnancy one but I can actually function a bit now.

All we can do is focus on the end result and remind ourselves that all of this will be worth it.

Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy

Speak to your GP gets done meds you don’t have to suffer

@sel2223 thank you. I am glad I am not alone. I feel guilty when I say I'm not enjoying pregnancy :( makes me feel like I am a bad mum or I am being selfish to those who struggle to get pregnant. The sickness and anxiety I have this time round really are hell. I still find it crazy how something so small can have such an impact on you. First trimester sucks!

I'm 8 weeks and I'm in bits. Nausea and insomnia are kicking my ass. I've a 3 year old as well and I feel like crying when my husband has to go to work. I struggled first time too but it was easier as I could just lie down .

In the same boat here too, it’s horrible isn’t it. I’m 7 weeks and the sickness is constant, today I’ve woken up with a bad cold on top of it too. I also have a 3 year old although she’s at nursery during the day but getting up and ready in the mornings with her is difficult as I’m constantly feeling on the verge of throwing up! By the time she gets home from nursery and I’ve finished work I have 0 energy left.

I feel really guilty for not enjoying it too as it’s a long awaited pregnancy after previous losses but the way I’m feeling is overtaking how happy I am!

It’s bloody bloody awful. I’m 14 weeks and starting to feel human again. It’s my third pregnancy and I forget how bad it is each time. Hate it hate it

Get Xonvea, it’s a bloody miracle drug. They might want you to try Cyclizine or promethazine first as Xonvea is more expensive. But it makes such a difference
