Truly awful first trimester 😭

[User2308]

Around 8 weeks pregnant with 2nd baby and feeling HORRENDOUS. the sickness has been so bad this time around, I have even been throwing up in the street. Awful flu/virus and now I am on antibiotics for an ear infection.(which is giving me such bad anxiety as well & I can't sleep).I'm barely leaving the house at the moment...
No motivation to do anything. I miss my little boy feel like I never have any energy to do things with him at the moment & generally feeling really really miserable - anyone the same?

Not currently going through this but sounds quite similar to my first pregnancy so sending hugs. I also had the most horrendous sickness and would be throwing up on/off all day. Basically went to work and slept that was it. Also had an awful UTI at 10 weeks which made things even worse and was nearly admitted to hospital. Things started improving at maybe 20 weeks as things eased a little (still sick every morning) but more energy and able to eat better. Couldn’t just scroll past without saying it does get better ❤️

Thanks 😘 my first was rough but this is something else! Hoping as time goes on it improves xxx

I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. I really hope things improve for you soon! I get horrendous sickness in the first trimester too, the infection on top must be awful!

Hi Op,
It sounds like you are having a really difficult time. Do get in touch with your GP and request anti sickness meds for potentially HG. You may be very dehydrated.
I had awful sickness with my first but was told by the GP ‘that’s just normal’. This time round was even worse at the start and I insisted on speaking with another GP who took me very seriously and prescribed anti sickness meds. Whilst they didn’t stop my sickness, they did help me be able to get up and back to work rather than just lying down all day because of such severe sickness and dizziness. You deserve to be looked after. X
