I'm about 3 weeks pregnant, BFP today.

I feel really crap, i'm tired and dizzy and feel like i'm going to faint. My legs are aching and i've got lank hair and a outbreak of spots which is not usual for me.

Is this normal to feel this ill?

Yes memoo... and it doesn't get a lot better any time soon!

I was throwing up bile for ten weeks with my first, and am in my eighth week of nausea, dizziness and what looks like acne this time. Not to mention having to hold my boobs if I foolishly rush going down a flight of stairs!

Welcome to being pregnant! You need to start training whoever is going to spoil you for the next... 37 weeks!

Good luck

Yes totally normal, u should start to feel better at around 12-13 weeks so unfortunately u have got a while yet.
And then once your nausea, sickness, dizzyness and tiredness are going and u start to feel more like your usual self then you'll start with the sore cracked nipples and back pains etc.
Sorry we can't lie to u, this pregnancy lark is hard work but It'll all be worth it in the end

Unfortunately yes it is completely normal to feel that ill i knew i was pregnant because of the constant sickness and that started from very early on.

i had really bad sickness dizzyness pains awful skin its all part of the wonderful journey that is pregnancy unfortunately haha.

im 32 weeks and have been feeling abit better lately untill 2day suddenly iv found it that hard 2 breathe iv even fainted. only 8 weeks left tho fingers crossed lol.

yes normal, sounds like you are describing my first pregnancy, i actually fainted at work at 5 weeks, did get checked by doctor and i had low blood pressure so was signed off work for a week, was nice to put my feet up and take in being pregnant..
congrats you have a lot to look forward too.

forgot to say felt almost exactly the same with 2nd pregnancy but without the fainting. does your doctor know you are expecting?
