Feeling sick

[Dontknowneedhelp]

Please tell me it gets better? Or any advice welcome.
I'm so lucky to have fallen pregnant so quickly but my god I feel awful!
Im about 5 weeks, all the info tells me I shouldn’t be feeling sick yet, but I def do. Constant nausea, struggling to eat, just want to sleep. How do you keep going? I did do an online gp consult today - they sent me some links but nothing particularly helpful/ supportive.
As I say, I realise how lucky I am but didn’t expect to feel so awful.Just feel a bit lost

37+5 here and yes, it does get better. I felt sick and exhausted early on too, and it mostly got better by 15/16 weeks. Before then I napped and cried a lot, and ate a lot of plain food.

Now, I'm physically more tired than I've ever been in my life, I have reflux and a dodgy tum and can eat for England. I'd rather this than the first tri again though. Good luck!

Same, constant 24/7 nausea like a bad hangover from five weeks until about 16 weeks. It unfortunately kept getting worse until around week 10, and then very gradually improved until it disappeared completely. The main thing for me was to not wait until I was hungry. Even when I felt sick, I had to eat something, or I'd feel more sick. So I never got rid of the sickness but could stop it getting worse by nibbling stuff regularly.

I second the keep nibbling plan - a friend who has 4 children gave me that advice and it really does help to not let yourself get too hungry. Biscuit by the bedside to have before you get up in the morning helped. Mine was worst between 6-13 weeks. Honestly it might be unpopular advice but if where you work has a good pregnancy sickness policy then I wouldn't feel too bad taking time off when you need it as long as you are happy to disclose your pregnancy early on. I had to because there was no way I could work on the worst days. I don't think the reason is important - if the fact is you've been awake all night being sick and can't keep fluids down then you shouldn't be at work. It does get better!

Thank you so much for the advice everyone. I feel better to know it’s not just me imagining it - it’s normal to feel like this

I am 7 weeks and really struggling with the constant nausea (and to a lesser extent the consistent fatigue and sore boobs). I am praying it subsides by second trimester and I am going to seek some medication next week as I am finding it mentally really challenging.
