stuck in 1st trimester HE LL and can't get out! can anyone relate?

I have been nauseas everyday of my pregnancy so far. I also have passed out a few times and cannot stand up for longer than 10 min without getting dizzy and having to sit down. I am not anemic and was prescribed meds for the nausea but I am sooo tired of it. I am 18 weeks now and was really hoping I would have the boost of energy and no longer feel so sick but thats not happening.

I have gone to the doctor many times and all they can say is that I am just having a bad pregnancy. My first was great, I was only nauseas for the first 3 months and that was it.

Anyone else feel like this too? not sure how common this is...

I am not passing out or feeling dizzy but I still have m/s and take meds for them
I like you am tired of them. I can't go out to restaurants to eat, the food always makes me get sick. I will be 16w on Mon - I thought I would have more energy and feel better at this point
I can fall asleep at anytime of the day and still sleep 10 hours at night and be dead tired in the am when I get up
I hope it will get better soon!
Feel Better!

I was throwing up from 6 weeks to around 32 weeks.
I was in hell. I get jealous of women who have it easy. Zofran was the only thing that helped and i hated taking it. I feel your pain.

i had the WORST 1st trimester. I was sick every minute and couldn't lift my head up without getting dizzy and/or throw up. It was awful. I thanked my lucky stars that I have been taking a break from employment to concentrate purely on writing. It was really upsetting to be someone who was always energetic into a pile of mush. I lost a lot of weight too (13 pounds) by 16 weeks, and I wasn't able to eat a meal--only a couple of bites at a time. I'm 23 weeks, and at 21 weeks, I just started being able to go out for more than a couple of hours at a time without feeling unbelievably tired and sick.

trust me, i know it's rough! hang in there, hopefully your DH has been wonderful...my DH is what got me through it, i'll never forget how great he's been .
