Feeling upset about first trimester side effects...
I am trying so hard to appreciate my pregnancy and enjoy the journey to motherhood but I am feeling so frustrated by the negative side effects. I'm only 6 1/2 weeks along.
I'm nauseous 24/7 with no throwing up. I'm so hungry every 2 hours I feel like I could pass out. Headaches and backaches keep me up at night and the fatigue during the day is never ending. The nausea is what is really making me upset.
I keep hearing 'it will all be worth it' and 'it won't last forever' but I just feel so frustrated. This is my first pregnancy and it's all I've wanted for so long. My husband and I were ecstatic when we found out....and now the symptoms are in full swing and I can't help but feel differently. I just keep thinking how am I suppose to continue my job when I feel so awful? (I'm a teacher) Daily tasks seem impossible and my quality of life is just crap.
It's so hard to see the light at the end when I don't know what to expect. I haven't been to the doctor yet for an ultra sound either. I guess I just feel like I'm sick for no reason with no end date.
I am feeling incredibly emotional and sad/frustrated with all these negative side effects... Anyone feel the same or have tips for fighting through a negative mind set of something that is so wonderful?
