Q: Anyone having rough 1st trimester?

I am 10weeks 4days. Starting week 6, I am sick on and off during the day, mostly every day. Empty stomach gives me nausea, but I also have aversion to most foods I used to like. I cannot cook anymore (which I used to do a lot) because of smells I get nauseated easily.

If nausea is gone, it's not for long. In between I get light headaches, abdominal cramping or body aches.

No energy 24/7. I used to exercise regularly; now I don't even want to leave the house. I'm glad I don't have to work now. And...poor husband does all the grocery shopping for me.

Best time of the day is actually taking a nap or sleeping at night when I don't feel any symptoms. I miss feeling normal again, I miss social life and leaving the house.

Does anyone else feel the same way? Will this end soon? Thank you!

Thank you ladies so much for sharing your experiences and advises. I would say, I feel a little bit better than a week of two weeks ago, so hopefully the change is coming, even though very slowly. I will wait till my next doctor's appointment which is next week and if I don't feel things changing for the better, I will ask for some medicine.

I wish all of us to feel not better, but great, and soon, so we can start fully enjoying our pregnancies. :-)

Hi, I'm almost 14weeks, started to feel better around 10weeks but the weeks before that were the worst of my life!! I was tired all the time, slept most of the time, I also did not put any weight in my first trimester..it gets better tho, u just need to hang in there, maybe see ur doc for nausea meds, I took mine twice only! I am able to cook now, but certain smells still get to me esp oil and onions. Now I have the dreaded heartburn! Tryng to stay positive...It worth it in the end!!!

I am 10 weeks and 4 days and I feel the exact same way. My doc just gave me a stronger dose of zofran and now I can finally eat and have some energy without getting sick all day long. I didnt take it yeasterday and the sickness started all over again.. I was sooo miserable until last friday and yesterday.. See if your doctor will prescribe you zofran to help with the nasuea. Good luck!!

I am almost 16 weeks and still feel horrid. My first trimester was hell. I ended up on diclectin and towards the end of the last trimester it actually stopped working for me. I lost about ten pounds from being so sick. I could barely eat and I am already underweight for my height(happened naturally have never watched what I eat or my weight). I can kinda eat now. I still have foods like bread make me very sick. I can barely move in the evenings from the nausea but it is actually better then 4 weeks ago. I'm on leave now as well. Trying my best to not go back to work because I have bad anxiety there which makes the nausea worse. I hope you start to feel better soon.
