Hi ladies, this is the first time I’ve been pregnant and I don’t know what I should be expecting. I’m on progesterone and have been for just over a week and last week felt absolutely terrible - so sick I thought I might throw up, needing to nap for 2 hours during the day. Yesterday was slightly better and today I feel much better. Is this a bad sign? Should I call my EPU?

Hi @oldernotwiserffs honestly please try not worry. This happened to me all the time in my first pregnancy and I’m now 5 weeks into my second and exactly the same. One day (even by hour) I feel horrendous and so sick and hormonal. A few hours later absolutely nothing and I think damn I can’t be pregnant at all.

Please try not to worry as honestly it happens xx

I found my symptoms fluctuated a LOT in the early days so try not to worry too much x

@EmberR@Yellowdaff25thanks ladies. I had a terrible day on Thursday - felt so sick and had to have a 2 hour nap. Have felt sick most days, today the nausea isn’t too bad unless I’m hungry and this has lasted all day. It’s such a worry! X
