Low mood concern - when will I feel joy?

I would've thought that seeing two lines on a test would have brought me so much joy, but ever since I tested positive I have felt no rush of wonderful emotions at the prospect of being pregnant. While my partner is beaming and chatting about tiny baby boots and names, I honestly just feel numb. Being concerned that this isn't a viable pregnancy is stopping me from enjoying life (as much as possible while dealing with exhaustion/nausea). I feel as though I've had to isolate myself as we're not telling anyone yet. My world has shrunk, I've not been to the gym, I'm not doing my hobbies, I'm not seeing friends all because I'm exhausted and feel sick. We've booked an early test at 7 weeks for some reassurance and I'm terrified of it 😅 we don't even have a history of miscarriages! When does the joy and excitement start? 6+5 weeks

Morning sickness at lunchtime advice needed!

Hi everyone, I've got a lunch booked for tomorrow with colleagues and Wednesday with mum, sister, cousins and auntie. Nobody aside from my sister and close friend actually know I'm pregnant. (6 weeks + 2)

My issue is that my morning sickness has fully kicked in now and it is the worst at lunchtime. Does anyone have any tips/tricks for getting through the lunch dates undetected? 😅 They are both at cafe's *sob*.
