Tired, Hungry, Crampy.....UGHHH

I am 6 weeks and 5 days.....THIS IS NOT FUN. I only ever heard of morning sickness but then I got every other symptom known to man. I am so uncomfortable almost all of the time. If I'm not tired, I'm hungry like I haven't had anything to eat in days. If I'm not having mild cramps, I have a headache. Oh and (TMI) but I couldn't poop for days! This is no fun at all. I know the first trimester is suppose to suck but I can not imagine when I actually have a baby bump how I am going to feel. PLEASEEE tell me it gets better. Right now I do not know how I'm not fired already I have no motivation to do anything and all I want is my bed and soup ( lately thats all I seem to want).

  • It does get better.  And then it gets worse again.  Weeks 16ish-32/34 are great (or they were for me). Hang in there, it's worth it.

  • You're not alone and it does get better. The hormone surge has your body doing all kinds of things to prepare for your baby. Hopefully, you'll feel better in a few weeks. Hang in there!

  • Soup does sound good lol. Yes it does get better!!! My last pregnancy my symptoms started to ease up around 8 weeks, but the typical time is about 12 weeks. Then it's good until the last month. I'm having full blown symptoms too, much worse than my last pregnancy. Hang in there sister!

  • It can get better. Sometimes it doesn’t. Generally 2nd tri is much easier. Maybe pick up some books on pregnancy? Sometimes it’s easier when you aren’t blind sided by all the things going on with your body. 
    this is my backup acct.

  • It gets better. The first trimester is all about just surviving and getting through. If that means you don't leave your bed for 4 weeks because you are so sick, do it mama. That's what my last pregnancy looked like. 

    You will feel better, having the bump will be exciting. It was my favorite part. Feeling the baby move will make it better because it's a constant reminder of what you're doing this for.

    Every pregnancy is so different, but if it makes you feel better, my first trimester of my last pregnancy went about as bad as it could go. I had every severe symptom and was bed bound. But the second and third trimester were so good for me that I (almost) totally forgot about the first trimester. Just a bad dream lol.

    And hey, we are all doing it again so yes, it's SO worth it!!
