New to all this! Need help.

Hello!

I am 34 & my husband & I were TTC for 6 months & now it has happened! We're 6 weeks along & delighted but let me tell you I had no idea what this would involve. My body has gone haywire - I'm completely unconscious for about 10 or 11 hours a night, I'm clinging to my husband demanding a constant supply of cuddles, I'm feeling sick and tired. I am usually the most organised person - I work from home on tight schedules & deadlines, I'm involved in the community & all that! I usually plan things well in advance. But right now I'm not planning tomorrow because I'm completely unsure what's round the corner. Don't even get me started on food. I am usually an absolute health freak but now the thought of making meals literally pains me! Everything stinks & all my plans for perfectly healthy food are slipping away. Can anyone relate? I'm not telling my friends until the 3 month mark so feeling isolated & alone... Any thoughts?

All completely normal hun! Congratulations by the way

You'll quite possibly feel more yourself when you hit 12/13 weeks. It was like a switch for me first time around.

The feeling lethargic with no energy to do anything extra lasted my whole pregnancy last time. This time I have so much to do at work and I just can't be bothered which is so unlike me usually. I have a huuuge presentation to do next Friday and i am so relaxed about it is worrying. I still have loads to do for it and I'm just like "meh, whatever, yawn"

Omg I really hope that's true! I'm quite shocked haha. Lying imbed as much as I can! So hard to keep it hidden when I'm having to stay in more...

I know! I'm usually so full of energy but I'm trying to improve it with a bit of exercise but it's hard!!
