7 Weeks Pregnant :)

Hi all, thought I would introduce myself as I'm due in June! I'm 25, engaged and 7 weeks pregnant with my first child. The pregnancy was a bit of a surprise as I had chemotherapy when I had cancer as a child and have always been told I would probably find it hard to conceive, so I had to take five tests before I would believe it was true haha. I am getting some awful symptoms atm including feeling sick pretty much 24/7 (since week 3, non-stop, I don't know how it feels to have a nice settled happy tummy anymore!), constipation, IBS going crazy, hormones going even more crazy, a strange taste in my mouth which won't go away and officially going off all food even though I am starving and all I want is to enjoy a good meal the way I used to but I just don't like anything! But most of all, the tiredness is ridiculous, I spend most of my time either in bed or wanting to be in bed!

Is anyone else having a lot of symptoms at once? Before I got pregnant I just thought you got sick every now and then, oh how wrong I was! I have my first scan next week too, is anyone else having theirs this early? In the UK we usually wait until 12 weeks but my mam is a midwife and got me in for an early one x

It'll get easier in a few weeks, but CONGRATS!!!!!!! and YAY for some on this side of the Atlantic

I had a dating ultrasound a few weeks ago and will go back at 12w for a second scan.

Congratulations!! I don't really have morning sickness, just a little bit of nausea here and there. This is baby #5 for me and I really didn't have morning sickness with any of my pregnancies. Just a little bit with DD2, but it was weird. As long as I didn't eat before 1pm I would be fine all day, but if I ate before 1pm I always threw up. Anyway, hopefully you will start feeling better in a few weeks. As for the other symptoms, I'm right there with ya! It'll get better soon though!

Congratulations, and welcome to the board! You're lucky you got in for an early ultrasound--you'll love it so much.

Sorry to hear you've been experiencing so many unpleasant symptoms, but some people start feeling better around week 10, I hear. My fingers are crossed that you're one of them!

Congratulations!!! And yep, since week 3 but the morning sickness hit hard starting week 6 for me. Hang in there!

Hello and congrats!  Hopefully you'll start feeling better soon - not uncommon at all to have all those symptoms.  You're not alone.   Hang in there, I'm also feeling like I want to stay in bed all day.  I know from my last pregnancy it does get better.

I'm glad to hear that it should get better in a few weeks, feeling so ill all the time is really getting me down now, but the scan this week should be a nice pick-me-up providing everything is ok, obviously, is anyone else really scared of m/c? I'm so anxious, although I keep trying to tell myself if I feel this crappy then there's obviously still something going on in there!

Congrats! I have almost all of those symptoms and it's 24/7. It will get better though!!
