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

I’m in week 9 and have been miserable since week 7. I had some spotting so the gynae prescribed progesterone which makes me feel even more nauseated. Nausea pills seem to make me extremely dizzy, so I stopped that, There are good days and bad days. A bad day could feel like a week :( Hubby reminds me that our baby’s growing if I feel this way. I guess we’ll just have to bite the bullet and try to find whatever relief we can. I tried sour plums, orange peels but found plum ginger the best. Carbohydrates like crackers and bread does seem to help me feel better. Sour-ish food and fruits like oranges, kiwis, apples also seem to help. Netflix helps to kill time. Having good friends and family visit/call and chat helps time pass faster. Fruit tea, cold-infuse teas help to mask metallic taste is really gross…. Hang in there! Hopefully it will all get better after the first trimester :) 💪💪
