Wondering if it’s normal

Hi mummies, I am at week 5 and my morning sickness is getting worst. I don’t actually vomit but just gag reflex, I feel so weak and useless. I’m a first timer mommy to be and I keep telling my husband ‘I can’t do it' because the morning sickness and nausea is bad enough. I don’t know what else to do anymore. I feel so useless and weak. I have no appetite and i can’t drink plain water. Cause I can’t handle it.

Babe, you can do it!! Try out different food bit by bit to control the nausea. For me, mandarin oranges. The first few weeks are of pregnancy, I was in your shoes. I couldn’t eat anything. I feel so weak and tired. The gag reflexes was so damn tiring. My mum tried to give me those preserved fruits but didn’t work for me. So I tried mandarin oranges. Those small little ones. It helped me so much! I can eat like 5-6 of them in one sitting. I think that’s why my babygirl face also looks like an orange now, very round 😂 she’s 3months old now. I suggested my friend to try mandarin oranges also cause she couldn’t eat much and keep having morning sickness in her first trimester. Surprisingly, it helped her too! Maybe you can try! Trust in yourself that you can do it. All these sacrifices is for your little one. Focus on the bright side. At the end of it, you will get to meet your little one’ smile soon enough 💕💕
