so we are nearly 9weeks pregnant and I'm constantly feeling nauseous and dizzy and have trouble doing anything I push myself so much while I'm at work. But I'm feeling horrible for my hunni who works full time and is not exited for Bub (unplanned and very unexpected) he's kinda in a slightly depressed state. I just have no energy to clean the house. It could defantly be worse it's not like fully gross as there is only 2 of us in a 3brm duplex and a dog. But it's still not nice and not up to my standards. Washing is getting so out of hand and we have an inspection in nearly 2weeks.
Has anyone got ideas on ways I can get some energy while pregnant or keep the nausea away?? ways to make it easier??

Just pay for a cleaner to come! VIP have also in home services, ironing, washing etc. get used to things not being up to your standards though because that's life with a newborn. Seriously you need to rest.
I'm sure you've probably tried all the typical morning sickness ideas (ginger, dry crackers, something small before getting out of bed like crackers, small frequent meals etc), but you could try eating some beans. It sounds weird but depending on the type of sickness you have (can be hormonal, can be excess stomach acid etc) it really can work. I would have a small bowl of baked beans whenever I started to feel sick and I usually only had to have it twice a day and I was otherwise fine. It should work with any type of bean, it's to do with the high fibre content in them.
Otherwise could you afford to get a cleaner in once a week to help tidy up? If we could afford it that's what I'd be doing. Looking after two toddlers while pregnant and a bunch of other things is exhausting! Congratulations and good luck, hope you feel better soon! :)
