Not excited at all, always feeling down.

I am currently only 9+ weeks and having a very tough time with my pregnancy. I have been eating only plain crackers for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The sight, smell and even the thought of food makes me nausea. I am salivating so much and my mouth always have that weird bitter taste. Each time i try to eat something, i will vomit them which makes me feeling hungry and more nausea . I cannot sleep at night, it is so uncomfortable sleeping on my right and left side. Thus, i sleep on my back which in turn gave me backaches. I am so exhausted, frustrated and stress. I cry all the time. My face is full of acne which makes me feel so ugly. At times I just don't want to get out of bed, I almost hating life itself. I know i should be grateful but it is so hard to feel any positivity when you are so ill and almost depressed. Maybe I expected that pregnancy is going to be enjoyable, as what most women make it seems like but, this is not what i thought it would be. Am i the only one feeling this way? #firstbaby #advicepls #pleasehelp

i was the same as you!! i was shocked at how much discomfort my first trim would bring. like you i had bad morning sickness, no appetite, and fatigue. on top of that there was a lot of anxiety and paranoia from the covid situation. i was crying a lot, frustrated, just upset and emotional in general. not sure if it’s the hormones tho! things begin to change after my first trim about 13-14 weeks onwards. the morning sickness subsided and i began to accept that i need to get out more. i went out more often (safely!), went for walks, meals. i told myself to be kinder and gentler on myself as my body is going through ALOT. i can’t promise that it’ll get better physically, but mentally you can slowly adjust and try to do things that u like and enjoy and most impt, be gentle with yourself ok? jiayou mommy!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
