Anyone else feeling unhappy during pregnancy?

I'm week 7 but feel like I've already been pregnant for a long time. I feel ungrateful for being unhappy because we had a miscarriage before and getting pregnant again was not easy. But it's difficult to feel grateful when you feel sick all day but can't eat, or when you're bloated like a balloon. What's worse is you are discouraged from sharing your pregnancy with others so early so you need to isolate yourself cos you're sick all the time but nobody should be able to find out. Sigh sorry for the rant but googling "Is pregnancy worth it" wasn't helping so I hoped someone out there might understand. I can't see the joys or benefits of pregnancy at this moment and it's really bringing me down

I feel you. I got pregnant after months of trying. And when i finally saw 2 lines on the test, i was very happy. But that feeling faded away in few days, and i was mostly unhappy and i don’t know why. But when 2 trimester came, i started feeling better. I still have multiple feelings, but definitely not unhappy. This shall too pass, trust me. Initial phase of pregnancy we are on cocktail of hormones, and our body is still new to handle it. It will get better. And if it doesn’t, please talk to your doctor. And they will provide you necessary help. Your physical and mental health, both are important.
