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

You are not alone. I’m in 12 weeks now and still having all the symptoms that you mentioned. What we saw on social media are pregnancy seems so easy 🥺 I’ve been vomiting since week 6, peaks at week 9 and 10 where i vomited at least 5 times a day. Even drinking water makes me puke. I don’t have have much appetite, whatever goes into my stomachs ends up in the toilet bowl, and i already lost 3kg. Weird bitter taste in my mouth, being nausea 24/7, bloated after meals, constipated, insomnia because i can’t find e right position to sleep, sleeping on my back gives me backache as well. Have to wake up 2-3 times in the middle of the night to pee and can’t go back to sleep after that. My skin is so so so dry that i’m having eczema on my face and legs. I am grateful for being pregnant but going through pregnancy isn’t easy, i can’t function normally, feel so zombified. I seriously hope i will feel better by week 14. ☹️ Let’s hope by trimester 2 we will all feel better ❤️‍🩹
