Morning sickness

I'm 8 weeks this week and the nausea is getting worse. I didn't even have one day of feeling sick with my first pregnancy. I'm struggling to get out of bed. I'm so exhausted that I'm struggling to do everything day things. Even walking up stairs I have to pull myself up with the railing and I can barely lift things. I feel dizzy. I'm so close to vomiting without actually vomiting. Eating makes me feel better for 10mins but then it's back with a vengeance. I'm barely eating as it is. This is horrible! My husband is so sick of me feeling so down and sick. Even getting through my shift at work is getting harder every day. I'm sleeping and having naps at every second I get. Is this normal!?

It's exactly what happened with this pregnancy for me! My first I sailed through this time the first trimtester I swear tried to kill me.

Try taking 50mg of B6 daily and half a unisom at night.
Sadly exhaustion makes nausea worse:(
I tried those and lemon water my first trimester and it helped a Ton!  Also smoothies with pregnancy safe protein were my best friend. My OB midwife/nutrionaliat suggested it...something about not chewing helps keeps nausea down and protein keeps it down too.

Hope you feel better soon. If those things don't work your dr should be able to prescribe an actual anti nausea pill
