First Trimester sickness & exhaustion

Sharing some positivity to anyone in the dark depths of the first trimester slog! - I needed to hear this to get me through! I’ve been pretty much bed bound since week 7, and really struggled with the concept of being completely useless and sick for so long. Yesterday I turned a corner at 10 weeks 3 days!! I thought I wasn’t going to cope if I had to wait until 13 weeks to feel better. With my first pregnancy I also started to feel better when the placenta started to take over rather than at the end of the first trimester! So sending hope and strength to you all and hopefully some light that the end is nearly here🤞🏽

Not for me! 11 weeks and feeling worse each day

I’ll be 10 weeks tomorrow so really hoping this happens to me 🤍

Currently 8 weeks and really struggling. This gives me hope!!

I'm exactly the same! Absolutely shattered every day it's worse! On an evening I get terrible morning sickness & toothache pains. I can't stay awake during the day, I'm so exhausted I can't even go to work I've had to get a sick note for 2 months! I'm 11 weeks now I'm hoping it passes soon. With my daughter I wasn't this exhausted and flat out no energy at all, it's very different this time round 😩

@Jade oh no! Hoping it eases soon for you, the only actual thing that gave me some energy was electrolytes if you havnt tried them already🤞🏽

@Lauren I wasn’t like it with my first pregnancy either, well not to this extent anyway! I may have thought twice for another if I knew how bad it could be! Sending hope it gets better soon!

9 weeks and I'm exhausted and just the thought of food makes me nauseous, I'm hanging on to the hope that I will feel better in a few weeks. I don't remeber it being so bad with my first

I turned a corner around 11ish weeks. Before then I was so exhausted I couldn’t get through a normal day without sleeping. Also felt so horrible for feeling “lazy” and not being able to do simple things like cleaning the house or having a normal conversation with someone!! I am now 13 weeks and feel like a new person 🤭 it’s wonderful. It does get better!! Xx

9 weeks and I hope I wake up everyday feeling a bit normal. Congested isn’t even the word & the sore heads
