When do you start feeling good?

Question

I'm so happy to be expecting a child, but my happiness is overshadowed by the fact that I feel terrible. All the time.

I'm 11 weeks and the last 2 weeks have been by far the worst. Consistent nausea, headaches, mood swings - just a feeling of general ickiness.

Everyone keeps saying it should only be a couple more weeks and the first trimester is the worst. But how many people experience this?

When did things get better for everyone? Or did they? Looking for the light at the end of the tunnel.

Answer

I felt awful until week 15. During week 15, I took a turn for the worse and had weird periods of random projectile vomiting, instead of smell/food induced vomiting, and then it disappeared completely! I'm now 19w5d and feel amazing as long as I get enough sleep. Fingers crossed it goes soon.

Answer

I felt the same way. We tried to get pregnant for so long and when we finally did, I was miserable for two months. At 12 weeks I finally started to feel more like normal and now I'm getting SO excited for these babies! It will happen soon - 11 weeks was rough for me too!

Answer

I felt better after week 14 but now I'm 30 weeks and feel more tired than ever. The nausea is gone but now I have heartburn and back pain 😫

Answer

Things leveled out for me right at 12 weeks.

Answer

I remember things taking a positive turn around 17 weeks or so. I know it's hard but remember that it's temporary!

Answer

I felt the same way! My first trimester was miserable :( nausea, sickness, fatigue, and nooo energy! I'm not almost 19 weeks and I feel way better than what I did! I started to feel better at 16w. I'm still tired all the time but it's bc im doing more things and out and about more bc im not constantly sick or gagging at smells :p it is different for everyone but this is what I experienced. It should get better 💜💜

Answer

Things got better about week 15-16 for me. Hang in there! :)

Answer

I had more constant good days starting around 18 weeks. 2nd trimester was good overall but I'd have a bad morning thrown in every once in a while. I'm 29 weeks now and have mostly good days but I'm tired and have heartburn...it's nothing compared to my first trimester though.
