Moan Groan - 9 weeks gone and already complaining

I'm 9 weeks pg. I feel utterly dreadful. So weak and nauseous. Not been actually sick but always on the brink, it feels like.

Meanwhile, I've got a nearly 4 y.o. and a nearly 2 y.o. to keep busy. I can't face going out twice in the day - already been out to their mini gym session this AM and normally we'd be out this afternoon too but it would knock me sideways.

How do you cope? How do you get beyond this bit? I don't remember ever feeling this bad with my first two. I feel like every blink is an effort. I've no family nearby to help and the two of them do go to nursery 3 AMs a week but I'm still struggling. I always feel like I'm struggling. Wonder when that will end?

Sorry. Just wanted a poor, poor me lament.

Poor you!

Hope it gets easier soon. It will be mega worth it for you all

Do you have a garden (or large bathroom)? As soon as it's warm enough you can give them a bucket of water, measuring jugs and toy boats while you sit back with a cup of tea and magazine. I did that all last summer (and wasn't even pg!)

Also invest in some new dvds

Good idea muffle. Will try it with a bucket of warm water first and watch them get busy.

Had to get DH home from work early today because I thought I was going to dissolve. I've never been such a blooming wet blanket before. I think he was a bit taken aback that I needed him home.

Roll on 2nd trimester.

Big sympathies from me too. I'm six weeks today and I am counting the days. I dread waking up every morning because I feel sick every morning at the moment (and I'm worried it'll get worse). I have a 5 year old and 3 year old and getting them up and the 5 year old to school every day is a struggle. I've only been feeling sick for about 3 days as well!!! It is really hard but you will get through it. Take each day at a time. It is a huge effort just being awake sometimes! It's worth it, I promise. It's just complete crap though going through it.

I am with you! Am seven weeks and feel like pigsh*t. And think I've got at least another seven weeks to go.

I am delighted to be pregnant, and realise how lucky I am, but I hate feeling like this. I crave bedtime because when I'm asleep I don't feel so sick.

Roll on the second trimester!
