well, that's pretty much how i feel, and i was just at the midwife's yesterday being told that everything looked jim dandy!
it's the good and the bad news, combined. :

That's pretty much how I feel, but only some days. I also have days that aren't so bad. I know others are like that every day though. Thankfully most people don't feel horrible the entire time, it usually eases up a bit around 12-14 weeks.

I remember feeling that way with my 2nd pg too. Boy was that a surprise. Try to eat smaller meals to help with the nausea. It's hard (for me anyway) because I'm used to eating a particular amount, but I've found that if i cut myself off at the half-way mark (half of what I'd normally eat), then I feel full about 15 minutes after stopping and I feel much, much better. I've been drinking a lot of water too. (My body is probably celebrating that! I needed to improve in the water dept anyway.)
Hope you feel better soon.

I don't know if it's any help, but I felt exactly the same way all week, from last Friday until this morning... except with a lot of throwing up. I think it's "normal"...:

P.S. All you want is to feel better, until you actually feel better and then you panic: are you still OK in there, little bean?? Everything OK in Uterus-land?

I hate to say this, but last week, I wished for m/s, sore boobies, something, anything to make me actually feel pregnant. Yeah, I've got it in spades now. But I truly am thankful that at least I can go through this, you know?

Maybe you're having a girl this time. I know a lot of women feel different during pregnancy with different gender babies. Anyway, just a thought. Hang in there!!!

I feel pretty bad this time around, but nowhere near as sick as with dd. DH and I would be walking and I would throw up every 50 feet or so! This time I feel a lot more tired, but I am also working and nursing a 18 mo.

Well, I have a boy and a girl....and this pregnancy is different from both of them LOL. So what am I having??? Seriously, I've never seen that mean a whole lot...pregnancies just differ.

That said, I feel like total crap and can't believe I have 5 more weeks like this....it's so not fair to my other two!!! I just want to cry. I'm not as nice as I'd like bc I feel like vomiting. I hate this. I think this will definitely be our last child!!

I'm right there with you. I had very very mild nausea with my son and this time around it is AWFUL. So far, I've had it for 3 weeks and it is showing no signs of dissipating. The fatigue is really bad, too, I feel like I'm chronically depressed or something.

so I'm not alone

Was very surprised to discover we are expecting our first baby at the end of February. Am balancing lots of excitement with the frustration that comes with being SO sick...feel like I might never be any fun again. Always exhausted and on the verge (at least) of throwing up. Tell me it gets better....

I've been feeling pretty much on the verge of throwing up for 3 weeks now. We took a trip to Chicago, and I magically felt better during the trip. I couldn't figure it out because I wasn't getting enough water and it was harder to snack on the go. My theory is that all the walking helped.

So this morning, I went for a 15-minute walk while I still felt good, and while I've felt a little queasy still today, it seems better! Could be in my head though.

With my first I had one day where I felt sick...the day before I tested...the rest of the pregnancy I felt fantastic. My second pregnancy I had some mild nausea the first trimester, but wasn't overly tired what is more or less normal throughout pregnancy in general. This time....oh my goodness! I haven't been vomiting, but I am thiscloseto constantly, and I've been so tired I can hardly sit up.

The first two were girls, I'm hoping for a boy this time-everyone says since I've been so much sicker it's bound to be-but we'll see.
