Pregnancy symptoms getting me down :-(

[Happymummy2012]

As happy and excited I am to be pregnant the sickness ( feeling sick and retching) and pounding headache and generally feeling rubbish is really getting me down )Iam nearly 11 weeks so hoping in a few weeks i should start feeling better but trying to look after my nearly 4 year old and do house chores etc is difficult. can anyone recommend any alternative therapy they have tried to help? I would try anything to feel a bit better! how is everyone else coping with their symptoms?

I get bad nausea but I find if I eat small amounts every few hours it eases off....headaches haven't been to bad this time but in my last pregnancy I used one of those 4head sticks which helped xx hope you feel better soon xx

Try ginger biscuits, the wrist pressure bands may help. If you are sick a lot and not keeping food down call your me she needs to check for ketones in your urine. If you have 4 + you may need admission for iv fluids and meds. They may scan you and check it's not a multiple pregnancy.

Keep your fluids up if you're struggling to eat, milk is good if you can stomach it. It'll help with the headaches too.
Leave the housework and rest hun. Hopefully the sickness won't last too much longer.
I feel your pain I had a more or less sickness free first 12 weeks. These last couple however have been horrible My son's 4 and my daughter is 8 months. Hard work x

I don't know how you ladies with children cope! I've been in bed for the past 9 days, I'm sick everyday, not keeping anything down. As soon as I finish eating anything I'm sick. Got to go back to Dr for anti sickness tablets. Spoke to hospital MW last night and if the tablets don't work they'll admit me which I really don't want. But by keeping nothing down I have 0 energy xx

Oh hun that sounds horrible I hope the antisickness meds work for you!

You just cope with the other babies I guess. I don't know how either lol
