Morning sickness & feeling low

[JT287]

Looking for similar experiences and how you coped really…

last month I suffered an early loss and conceived pretty quickly afterwards. Completely mixed emotions due to the timing and though I am grateful for the pregnancy, I can’t help but feel so low in myself. I don’t know if it’s the sickness getting me down (I don’t deal with feeling unwell very well) and being so energy less, but I guess I’m just reaching out for someone who’s been through and got through a similar experience and actually gone on to enjoying the pregnancy after the first trimester.

this is my second and my first was similar to this, but I didn’t have the same experience than what I did in my last pregnancy compared to this time round, and it’s been 4 years since I was pregnant which feels like a lifetime ago.

im currently 6 weeks pregnant and I just feel like im existing right now. Im not up for much and i dont know if im putting too much pressure on myself.

@JT287 I felt similar in the first trimester. This is an ivf pregnancy so much wanted , I am 22 weeks now. I felt so sick and tired at the start and sad at times as well, though at the back of it all I was so happy about the pregnancy. It’s hard to feel excited and happy when you are exhausted , anxious and sick. I started to feel better after 16 weeks. It is no longer a secret and I have more energy and can enjoy my food again. I think the first trimester is especially tough. I just rested as much as I could and ate foods that I felt like eating.

Hey @JT287 sorry for your loss xxx I think I know how you are feeling. I had a MMC at 9 weeks and fell pregnant immediately after with my now 16m old. My DH will say those forst 12 weeks I was an absolute ghost of myself, felt so low, so anxious. You've been through a lot in a short space of time it's totally normal to feel like this. I did feel that it lifted after the first trimester xxxxx take care
