Miserable in 1st Trimester

Hi Mummies. I'm week 10 day 2, and still trying to cope with my symptoms of morning sickness, heartburn and indigestion. It only seems to be getting worse and I've read articles after articles and tried every tip, and even sought some basic medicines which seemed to be losing effect too. I'm feeling more and more helpless and miserable. Please share how you cheered yourself up during your first trimester and by what week did these nasty symptoms start to subside? Thanks. #pleasehelp #advicepls #1stimemom

:(( urgh I had a horrible first trimester too so am feeling you here!! Weeks 8-10 were the worst and there were days I spent on the sofa not moving. Was sick all day, so drank a lot of water with lemon slices, lime juices with sour plums and even resorted to wearing sea bands. Eating was such a chore but I could only keep down bread, no other cooked food I talked a lot with my husband during this time too to share how depressed and miserable I was. We took night time walks and I ranted all the negative things to him - somewhat helps ❤️ The morning sickness lasted until week 13, then painful heartburn kicked in around week 14 😢 heartburn for me was resolved by a mixture of acid control medications and antacids Kept myself going by remembering all these symptoms show baby is still in there developing well. Because I lost a baby once - the sign was all symptoms disappeared I wish i had something more consoling to say but.. It should be coming to an end soon for you. It's no fun to be there but like all things, it will pass. What makes you happy? Can try distracting yourself with that - I caught up on shows haha and I think overall be gentle to yourself. Don't feel bad about lying in bed all day if you need to! Hang in there ❤️
