Anyone else hate first trimester?

I just want to fast forward to feeling movement ect. I find first trimester, especially the early weeks so anxiety inducing! It's awful.

If I could be put to sleep till my 12 week scan that would be great!!

I'm with you!!!

Between the constant anxiety, the waiting for ultrasounds and now for me the constant state of naseua I'm so ready to hit second trimester!!

I see you're 2 days ahead of me. When is your first scan?

Meeeee! I can't wait for it to be over.

I am so incredibly grateful to be pregnant.

But the first trimester really blows. I'm tired of barfing and feeling sick whenever I am awake.

I'm tired of being tired. I just feel like I'm living my whole life like how I feel if I stay up until 2am.

I am tired of being so sick and tired that my house is a garbage pit and my dogs haven't been walked in ages. My husband does the best he can to keep things afloat, but he works long hours and by the time I get home from work I'm couch/bed bound. If I can even make it in that day. I'm tired of using up all my sick days too!

Yes oh yes! And that doesn't mean that any of us are ungrateful for this blessing. That goes without saying. We are just struggling to keep our sense of humour when ALL day long you feel hungover and exhausted and useless to everyone.

My DH takes the kids and dog out every afternoon so I can lie on my bed. He gets up in the mornings every morning. I feel like I am wasting each day away but I need to put my head in the sand and wait for 2nd tri bliss!

I hate hate hate it. I keep having to remind myself how grateful I am to be pregnant but the first trimester has completely taken away my excitement The tiredness doesn't hugely bother me but the sickness has floored me! Before pregnancy I was really active, swimming several times a week, and I ate pretty healthy. I also hadn't had a sick day from work in ages. As soon as MS started, I've literally been sat on the sofa or in bed for 6 weeks straight (bar going to work where I sit at a desk all day). I'm living off bread, ham, crackers and cheerios. And I've had multiple days off sick! Thankfully I have a very sympathetic manager who isn't taking them out of my sickness entitlement! He really is a top bloke!

Sigh. I just don't feel like myself at all :'( and it's really hard accepting that no matter how much you rest up, you'll still feel just as ill tomorrow!

Still, it'll all be worth it in the end right? stay strong ladies!

Oh yes I'd love to fast forward to 2nd trimester. The nausea and insomnia really sucks.

 

[lanet]

I hate it so much. I count down on my calendar daily. I feel like death

 

[Wish85]

Agree with the anxiety part! I won't be getting my first scan for another 2 weeks so in the mean time I just have to hope it's all going to plan. I have no symptoms yet but I'm only 4.5wks..

 

[Kern]

Agree so much! A nasty hangover is right! Nauseous, tired, sick, anxious, can't sleep, can't poop and then can't stop pooping lol, my nipples are like red hot fire pokers, ouch, I pee a million gazillions times a day and night and still I wonder if my baby is growing the way it should. Too much! Ready for second tri!

 

[ReadynWaiting]

I hate hate hate first tri! Too much anxiety and stress of not knowing what's going on. Toss in nausea, headaches, exhaustion and just looking fat...sucks a$$!
BUT...it's worth it for the end result!

October 31 at 8 weeks. Feels like forever away but I'm thankful because I know some places don't do the first scan until 11-12 weeks. You?

 

[4magpies]

Double lines - tomorrow as I've been having some complications from my IVF. I'll be 6+1. Really hoping we see a heartbeat.

Guys I really don't mind the symptoms, those I can live with. It's the anxiety over if baby is ok or not that kills me! I just can't relax!

Will be thinking of you tomorrow, hope it all goes well

I still hate first tri but at least it's almost over. Just a week and a half. And my scan today (attempt at a nuchal, but no fold seen so back next Friday) showed a HB so at least I can lay my MMC fears to rest.

 

[Pixie5120]

Absolutely to all of this! Finally had my scam today at 12+0 and it was amazing and only now do I feel able to be even a little excited. Still exhausted too lol

 

[SonnyH]

Congratulations on your scans! It must be so reassuring to see the heartbeat! I've got just under a couple weeks until my first.. I'll be 12+4! Counting down the days..

Oh I know... My first scan was at 6 weeks, they had a hard time getting the wand in the right spot to really measure. (Bean was up high or something) They really made me uncomfortable, and I spotted for just over a week after. The specialist had to come in and do it after the first tried...They saw a flicker of a heartbeat, took some quick measurements, and didn't get to see bean again.

I have another scan on Tuesday (9w) FX all is well, and we get a good picture this time!

Me, I hate it. I could get up at 6am for work, ready and out the door with DS without any fuss. I then came home, made the dinner properly, cleaned etc and could get on with my life. Now my OH and DS are lucky if they get a home cooked meal once a week, I can barely wake up in the morning and I have constant nausea. That coupled with the extreme bloating, insomnia and horrible comfort levels when I do sleep.

I hate first trimester and everything it stands for.
