Feeling Hopeless

Can someone please tell me it truly does get better after the 1st trimester? 
I am currently 11 weeks and very thankful to have a healthy baby! However, I am so miserable. I have never been so sick in my life. I start vomiting every evening at 6:00 on the dot and just wait for it to happen every day. I’m sleeping with a wedge pillow to stay upright due to acid reflux and can’t keep any of my prenatals or vitamins down. 
I’m feeling hopeless. I need someone to tell me this gets better!!

    All I can say is that I feel the same way! I am absolutely miserable 
    not sure if that helps you, but I came here to say exactly what you did and it helped me seeing you say this! I’m a bit further behind you though. So it’s disappointing to hear even at 11 weeks you’re sick! Was hoping it would get better!!! 

    Did you try any medication?

    No one can tell you if it gets better or not.  I know a lady that both pregnancies was sick the entire time.  The only thing that helped was delivery.  

    Hang in there.

    8 weeks here and was diagnosed with HG (Hyperemesis gravidarum-A severe type of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.) I was unable to function, had to take leave from work or just daily tasks. I would SOB because of how sick I was. I told my doctor I needed relief and was prescribed Promethazine an anti nausea/vomiting medication that from my experience “worked” much better than any over the counter medications. I also still struggle with food aversions so if the nausea is at bay I am able to stomach something with the medicine. At first it made me sleep but I soon familiarized myself with the side effects and take it before eating or if I knew strong smells were creeping in my way to avoid any severe nausea spells. 8/10 times I found extreme relief and would highly recommend it to anyone for morning/all day sickness after speaking with their physician. I can confidently say that I have had a huge amount of relief in my 1st trimester when nothing else worked. It is also pregnancy safe but of course talk to your doctor first to see if it is right for you. I hope you feel better soon, hang in there mama. Take it from someone who saw no end in sight.
