1st Trimester - So nauseous all the time!!!
Hi,
This is the first time I've ever written on a message board and I'm so glad you exist! I'm 7 weeks pregnant and we're not telling anyone yet but I need to tell someone! This is baby #2 but my perpetual nausea did not happen the first time. I have been so nauseous and tried for three days straight that I finally took off of work today and barely got anything done earlier in the week. I work remote 100% now but how did women do it before? How would I have done this pregnancy before and still showered, dressed, do my hair, drove myself, worked for 8 hours, etc. And, why do we keep this s secret your twelve weeks? Because of the risk it of a miscarriage? Doesn't it make more sense to tell people so they understand why you're so sick tired, or in the worst case, crying and sad and depressed? I am having this epiphany that keeping it a secret and making us, women, act continue to perform at 100% is really messed up.

Congratulations yay ❤️
I'm a new user here too - this is my first baby forum (and my first baby)!
I've been lucky so far with only mild nausea, but I work nights so I have been struggling with fatigue sorry to hear you've been suffering.
I really struggled to keep this a secret. We told a select few people but it just kind of trickled out anyway! I would have told people straight away but boyfriend is very superstitious so I kept schtum.
I think it's mainly superstition but I get what you mean - I think quite logically so it doesn't make much sense to me!
I hope you feel better soon 😊
