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

just a few months back I made a similar post from yours. week 9 was the worst for me. there were days where I just sat on the toilet floor crying because I couldn't relieve myself from the discomfort I'm feeling. I can spend the entire day just drinking one cup of milk because I don't have any appetite. May also be contributed by the hormone pills I was taking during the first trimester. I couldn't describe how bad it was but it was to the extent where I was wondering if all these were worthwhile and even questioned if I deserved to be a mother. I took anti nausea medicine from the dr, drank ginger tea, wore sea bands and it all did not work. for me, I really needed alot of assurance and attention from my husband. and the only thing that gave me alittle relieve was eating plain biscuits every night before I sleep and in the morning right when I wake up. I kinda realised that not eating (because of a lack of appetite) just worsens the nausea symptom. so I force myself to swallow the biscuits. I'm currently at 25 weeks. my nausea symptoms disappeared at 13 weeks and my appetite went back to normal at 20 weeks 🙂i know it must feel like its taking forever to go away but stay strong and you'll get through this in no time! 💪
