So over it already 😭

I handled my first pregnancy so well. This one not so much. I’m only 7/8 weeks along and I’m already SO freaking over the exhaustion and nausea. Almost cried to my SO earlier that I didn’t want to deal with all this crap for the next 7/8m again 😭 I’m very excited and happy for the new baby. I’m not excited or happy to be pregnant again. It absolutely wrecked me the first time.

I'm in the same boat. I will say my first pregnancy was pretty easy (aside from SI joint dysfunction from 20 weeks on). But this pregnancy I'm freaking exhausted and nauseous all the time and I feel like my husband just does not understand that I literally have zero energy ever.

I’m so sorry for what you’re experiencing, but thank you for sharing it on here. I’m almost 10 weeks - this is my first pregnancy and I’m just having a horrible time. I am either sleeping or laying down all the time, I’m nauseous from morning to night, I have so much pain and discomfort from gas, bloating and constipation. I just feel awful. It’s still early and I haven’t shared the news with work or friends so I just feel like I’m going through it alone. My husband is trying to be helpful, but I don’t think he gets how bad it is. I want to be excited and happy but I just feel so awful it makes me feel guilty. I see other pregnant women just happy and “cherishing every moment” and I can’t seem to get there! It’s comforting to read your posts and know others are in the same boat.

To be honest, I’m not a fan of pregnancy either but I love my babies and I’m now pregnant with baby #3. Every single pregnancy- didn’t matter if girl or boy has been terrible for me. Especially first trimester! Nausea, exhaustion, food aversion, mood swings, I hate sleeping as much as I have been 😖 but I’m just so darn tired! I will say that 6-8 weeks was the hardest for me. 9-11 weeks has been a relief. hang in there!! 🩷

Your not alone Momma I’m now 12 weeks 3 days an the laying around nausea an getting tired after every little thing is exhausting in itself 😩an it makes it worse when your SO looks at it like your just being Lazy 🤦🏻‍♀️

The good news is that the awful first tri symptoms *usually* ease up significantly around 12 weeks. The exhaustion was getting to me too, I'm usually very active and don't like napping, so I hate being tired all day. Starting to feel more like myself this week, and even went for a (very slow) jog a few days ago.
