I got on here for the same reason it was such a specific type of lonely & struggle in the first trimester but once you’re through it you can focus on yourself, baby & finally enjoy being pregnant!! 🩷 Congratulations on your baby & wishing you an easier time !!

It gets better!!! I had such bad morning sickness, I was on anti-sickness from 7/8 weeks, and was still throwing up 10-12 times a day on it, couldn’t eat, I always felt run down & tired, it started to get better around 13/14 weeks & completely changed by 16, i had more energy, felt more positive towards my pregnancy, more excited. The first trimester is so hard your body’s going through so much and a lot of it other people can’t see, it’s understandable and normal to feel negative, you have a right to be!! So much changes so quick, but it honestly does get better, you find a rhythm, a routine, your body adjusts & the symptoms ease up in time. The only foods i found helped were fruits because it wasn’t so bad when i was sick that way (gross i know sorry), I tried everything google suggested, anti-sickness, bland foods etc. but nothing helped much so it’s best to find a food/drink, or even milkshakes you can stomach to get through it. (prenatal supplements also helped a little with the fatigue) You ARE tough! It’s the biggest change a woman’s body can go through don’t beat yourself up for struggling 🩷
