First Trimester

[Charls94]

8 weeks pregnant and I have to say that so far, it hasn’t been easy. The difference I feel hormonally and physically is already taking a toll. I’m quite an active person, and the battle I’ve had with myself because I’m so tired and then not having the motivation to do anything, has just taken a toll mentally. Aside from speaking to my partner about it all, I’ve never felt so lonely. I feel terrible speaking negatively during such an exciting time. Any advice or relates comments welcome 🫶🏻

I am currently 8 weeks pregnant with baby number 3, and I have felt the same in all of my pregnancies: extremely tired, to the point where I can barely function.

The good news is that in my previous pregnancies, this all went away around 12 weeks. I had the most amazing, complication-free pregnancies. I was full of energy and loved every second of them.

Now I am desperately waiting for the first trimester to end. I’m hoping the nausea, exhaustion, and constant hunger will all disappear like they did before. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but these early weeks feel so tough!

First few weeks can be very tough, l would just go with the flow. Don't worry about the small things and just do the minimum to get by. You can be grateful and still feel and say how tough you find it. It doesn't mean you don't appreciate this lovely thing.

9 weeks here and although I’m not usually a massively active person…I’ve barely even had the energy to walk my dog, which has been hard.

I haven’t been sick at all, just had waves of nausea, which im obv very grateful for, but it’s made it harder to show my husband just how ropey I’m feeling. From the outside, I feel like he must just think I’ve become less bothered about housework all of a sudden 😂

Might not look it, but some days I’m fighting to stay awake, especially at work 🥲
