I’m miserable - Venting Rant

Baby is 8 weeks measuring today. Gestational Im 10 weeks.

It’s been debilitating through all my symptoms, a WEEK after finding out I’m pregnant. I haven’t been able to work, shower, do laundry, and difficult at times to get out of bed. Every week is something more severe than the week before, it alternates. Right now it’s a bad cold and fatigue.

Before that was 2 weeks of such bad nausea I was crying because my body wouldn’t throw up!! People think throwing up is bad, and it can get very bad, but feeling the need to puke but your body refuses is torture. See I was expecting to not feel too great but this is the worst! And neither side of my family (husband or mine) has had hard pregnancies. My mom had 5 babies and had an easy time and my mother in law had 8 babies and had an easy time!

This is my first, so I had no way of knowing how bad it would be. People are taking for granted their symptoms and what they can or can not do. I just need to to end! My doctor says it’s a high chance of getting worse until it’s better, due to hormonal changes. It’s been hard on my husband for the first few weeks since it hit him like a truck how much support I needed but things have gotten better on that front and he has been amazing. I’m feeling sad I can’t enjoy my pregnancy at all right now and how debilitating it has all been so far.
