Hi everyone,

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and really struggling with symptoms. I was just wondering if anyone else has had the same as me and what you did to try and relieve them.

So from finding out I was pregnant very early on (around 3-4 weeks), I’ve really struggled with my throat and appetite.

My throat is not sore, just feels really inflamed as if I have a lump or something stuck. It’s not restricting my breathing, food or water intake, it’s just very uncomfortable and really bring me down. It often makes me gag and be sick, even though I don’t feel sick.

My appetite has just gone! I’m normally an all day grazer and picking at food but I just don’t want anything. When I am managing to eat I really don’t want it or it only lasts about 5 minutes before I’m bringing it back up.

This is my first pregnancy and I’m worried that I’m not getting enough in me to help with development.

Please, help me.
