Can’t keep anything down. Everytime I drink or eat something it just comes back up again. I’m so thirsty but if I drink I’m sick 😢

When did your nausea subside

When did your first trimester nausea start to go away? I'm asking because mine is starting to ease but I don't want to get too cocky and think it might be over when it may well come back and it turns out in just having a good couple of days.

Anxiety!

I got my BFP yesterday and today I went to the bathroom at 1 in the morning and tested at 5 in the morning and it was faint I know I’m probably just having bad anxiety but I have so much trauma due to so many losses that I’m freaking out it’s gonna happen again. Is it normal to have this much anxiety?

Have you started showing yet?

I’m 8 weeks today and struggling to fit into my jeans! I’m definitely quite round already even though it’s my first. I’ll also add that I’m 5ft2 which means less space for baby to hide.
