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 been through what you experience when I had my LO. I remember there was once I’m so hungry and I cried when I ate my favourite fish ball noodle. Because I know the moment I ate it, few minutes later it will be all in the toilet bowl. I also been in and out of A&E many times due to dehydration and lost 5-6kg during my first trimester. So endure and stay positive! The moment when you start to feel your LO kicking in your tummy.. trust me. you’ll realise that all these feeling down, stress will be all gone and the puking are all worth it just for him/her.
