Feeling depressed

8 weeks pregnant with my second and this is the worst I ever felt. My mental health is so fragile right now - I have been suffering with severe nausea and vomiting for a couple of weeks as well as complete exhaustion. I can’t take care of my toddler. I can’t do my job properly. All I want to do is be in bed and it is making me feel so awful. I feel like I am becoming crazy… Has anyone else been knocked out by the hormones so bad? What is helping you?

I'm 7.5 weeks and tiredness and fatigue is the daily normal mixed in with nausea just as cherry on top 🍒 I have 1.5year old daughter who thankfully loves independent play, it's a saving grace. I can watch her from comfort of sofa as she plays with her toys or watches cbeebies, I nap when she naps and have early nights sleep as I wake up multiple times per night to go pee lol 😆 gotta catch sleep and rest wherever I can, roll on 2nd trimester when it all eases out!

I could have written this myself. I'm exactly the same. I went to the doctors and got anti sickness, I had to go back to get another one so I'm now on 2 anti sick tablets. I'm still being sick and feel sick but I do have a few good days. I also go to bed early and my partner will settle my little girl xx

thank you - i am seeing my midwife next week and will see what she says about medication - hope you girls also feel better soon 💪🏼

THIS IS HOW I FEEL!! I feel horrible constant, so tired ALL the time. So SICK ALL the time. I feel like I have no rest from feeling constantly awful. I’ve had a full bottle of Gaviscon already as it slightly helps 😭 Edit- I found out through my last pregnancy that chicken made me sick. 🤢

Ah I'm so sorry to hear this have ypu considered taking time off work so you can rest and recharge. Sometimes ita soo worth it even if it's just for a week rather than pushing through and struggling for longer. Definitely reach out to the midwife as they can put you in touch with the mental health team or if your feeling really low call 111.

Sorry to hear your going threw is I was like this up to 10 weeks and then my sickness eased down but other thing kicked in like the fatigue is so scary!!! And the indigestion and heartburn and vertigo! I was lucky because in both pregnancy I hg all through my pregnancy! Try take a walk a day, will build some muscle strengh , fizzy decaf Diet Coke helped me, crackers bread rice potato made it all worst! But chicken eggs will settle my sickness I know they might make u wana vomit but protein is good! Make sure u get the sickness tablet and make most of fluids from hospital depending on hospital there is walk in.

Following as I feel the same, I have my midwife appointment next week I will ask for anti sickness pills too. I can’t get a break from this feeling

I’ve been to Drs today, got prescribed another type of anti sickness and defo feeling better tonight than I was last night. Worth booking an appointment x
