Suffering while pregnant.

I’m 20 and pregnant. Not planned but not avoided. Being told I couldn’t conceive and being unable to take certain contraceptives, also avoiding them anyway due to the risks they cause, I wasn’t safe. My partner didn’t use condoms or pull out ever. We knew the risks but presumed it’d never happen as every dr/gyno I saw said I’d never conceive.

I did. I’m now 8+.

I’ve got horrible nausea no matter what I do the feeling of needing to be sick is always there, mouth watery 24/7 and horrible acid reflux.

I’m constantly having chest tightness when I throw up.

Always feel lightheaded.

Always tired.

Nose has been blocked for weeks.

Coughing up mucus all the time.

Little cramps here and there.

Constipated.

Brown spotting.

Thick rice like discharge no odour.

Someone assure me this is normal. I’m a FTM and I’m anxious. We are over the moon to be parents but I’m worrying over every symptom, every pain and ache.

Any tips or advice for any of the above please share.
