First time Pregnant and VERY FRUSTRATED PLEASE HELP??

Question

I am elated at the fact we are now pregnant. We were diagnosed as infertile - but God decided to do what he does best - MIRACLES!! Anywho, I am constantly tired, constantly hungry, and constantly nauseaous. This is so frustruating - I am an on the go person - but "tooty" (I hate calling babies "it") is really wrecking shop. Any suggestions for me? Don't get me wrong, I am beyond thankful - but I am trying to cope with this new change.

Answer 1

Just rest. It is best for the baby. You seem like you're in you first trimister so you don't want to over do it. Remember to drink plenty of water. Dehydration can add to fatigue. Furthermore, you will get more energy in the second trimester.

Answer 2

Dont worry, I had all that same stuff when I was pregnant. Some women only have it for a couple months, but I had all that the whole time. Spending 9 months of my life throwing up and being exhausted was tiresome. I recommend ginger or peppermint for the nausea. Also, instead of 3 meals a day, have a small snack or meal every couple of hours. This often helps with nausea. They also sell "preggy pops", which are lollipops that helps with nausea, but I never acutally tried those. Tiredness may also be a symptom of anemia, so you may need to take iron supplements. Take your prenatals every day, with food to help you hold it down. Other than that, just weather the storm. Hopefully, it wont last much longer. In the meantime, indulge and allow yourself to sleep as much as you need if you have the time. It only gets more tiresome when you are huge and waddling and cant sleep. So get as much rest now as you can! I also find that it helps to secretly hate those women who have easy and glowing pregnancies. LOL, just kidding. Sort of. Also, congrats! It is so great to hear of this wonderful miracle! I hope you at least get to enjoy SOME of your pregnancy. You will be in my prayers. IM me if you feel like talking :)

"This, too, shall pass" is an amazing saying that has helped me through 4 pregnancies and nearly 28 years of being a mother. It is very common to feel badly in your first trimester, but you can look forward to your second trimester, which is typically the time you will feel your best during the pregnancy. This is the beginning of a life long change for you as being a parent will be like nothing you have ever experienced. Try shifting your thoughts from how you can't do the things you are used to doing, but focus more on cherishing the changes. Begin a pregnancy diary, something you can share with your baby in later years that describes how you felt and thought while you carried him/her. Find a website that shows you pictures of what your baby looks like and can do at each week of pregnancy. Spend a lot of quality time with your husband, focused on each other. Each stage of pregnancy and each stage of childhood/parenthood has its own unique set of frustrations that seem like they will never get better, but they do.

Oh, we are twins dear.

I couldn't have been happier to find out I was pregnant, we were both thrilled. We call our baby "Wookie."

Then it really kicked in. I sleep 8 hours, wake up for 3, then need a nap. Not really good when you work all week, you know? Anyday I make it without a nap I'm thankful for. I'm always in a constant struggle with food...I'm never hungry. The thought of food makes me want to throw up, but without food I want to throw up.

I really have no suggestions, just words to let you know you aren't alone. Try to nap when you can (I know, I hate when people say that to me & I'm just too busy to nap). The whole food thing, you don't have to eat actual meals. A breakfast bar or a piece of toast is usually enough to stop the icky feelings, plus you don't have to feel sick from being full when the last thing you want is food.

And remember...everyone I know who is pregnant or has been pregnant assures me that once you get through the first 12 weeks, you do get a break from most of the symptoms. I'm just under 9 weeks & I'll tell you mine is already starting to improve. So have hope & stay strong!

Answer 5

try to relax if your tired your body needs sleep if your nauseaous eat some saltine crackers and white soda or have some jello that helped my friend if your hungry eat the baby will take from you what it needs so make sure you have enough nutreints for the both of you it only last the first trimester after that you feel pretty good and get lots of energy so play it low key for now take care of you you will have plenty of time to run around after the baby comes then you will be begging for sleep lol

Answer 6

Your dr. will bring about you beforehand too lengthy, under no circumstances comprehend he might want to keep ya wednesday.....the only opposite direction to "velocity" issues up different then the way you listed, isn't very effective, yet tell your dr. that there is been a wide change contained in the quantity of stream.. And which will probable get you admitted. that is merely about over merely income from the time you do have, reason after delivery you'll bypass over the infant on the interior..... =) solid success!

Answer 7

Congradulations ! all pregnancies are different but the nauseousness usually subsides after the first trimester. Take your vitamins and iron and eat a lot of small nutritious meals a day. Foods high in fiber usually satiates you better. After the third month you should regain energy and feel a little better

Answer 8

I just entering my second trimester. During my first trimester I did not suffer from morning sickness but I had TERRIBLE fatigue. It is getting a lot better now, so just hang in there! Eat lots of iron rich foods. Another tip I got was to not drink tea while eating because it keeps your body from absorbing the iron that you need to keep up your energy!! Hope this helps.

Answer 9

CONGRATULATIONS! You are participating in a miracle! As the mother of five who are now adults with families of their own, it sounds to me like you are experiencing all the typical symptoms of pregnancy in the first trimester. I remember the tiredness (feelings of exhaustion) and hunger("ravenous") very well. There are remedies for "morning sickness", but your OB/GYN is in a better position to advise you. I had what I would describe as "queasiness", and found that having a little something in my stomach (like saltine crackers) provided relief. ENJOY this partnership with GOD!

Answer 10

Make sure you take time for extra sleep. Keep saltine crackers or bananas nearby, they are quick snacks that are easy on queezy stomaches. The tiredness and nausea usually go away in the second trimester.
