I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant & still been sick every morning since 6 weeks and not got my appetite back fully yet - just eating what I can & fancy! Anyone else experienced this or currently is? Hoping I can eat normally again soon!

I’m 14 weeks and it’s eased off slightly, woke up craving Pringles and hot salsa and a banan milkshake 🤣

Try eating a plain rich tea biscuit before you get up in bed, all I could manage was mashed potatoes and baked beans for weeks 😅

Hope you get better soon 💗

I’m 14 weeks and still very nauseous and dry heaving a lot. All I can advise is to eat only what you fancy, it’s odd but that’s all you can do to feel okay. Crackers and cheese are my go to if I’m not feeling anything else. Yesterday all I wanted was a pot noodle. I haven’t eaten one of those in maybe 10 years but it was the best thing ever! Apples are good and orange juice really hits the spot too

11 weeks and the only thing i can stomach is a big mc 🙈🙈🙈, but i really cant be eating those everyday until the sickness passes. came home from work last night and was sick twice within 30 mins of getting in. Its really getting me down. Oh and everything a drink makes me sick. Sprite was working but even that is a no no now.

I was living off crisps and toast was the only thing sticking but the GP gave me sickness meds as mine was all day long sickness and it has settled now

I can’t even feed my 1 year old ( he has sensory issues they think as he wont touch food, he eats it but we have to feed him) because the smell of anything just knocks me sick. 😩 so have to wait for his dad to get in from work.

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Tips for babies with wind issues

My 5 week old has always had issues bringing up all his wind. When he’s laying on his back, he’s always grunting in pain to the point he cries and wakes himself up.

Spoke with a qualified physio who’s also qualified in baby massage and she said try concentric circles on baby. Small circles with a little pressure on their right (your left when facing you) from the bottom of their tummy up to their ribs and then going to the other side and doing the same. Then do the usual leg exercises with them (bicycle kicks, air squats, rotating them side to side etc)

I’ve also found this really helps doing it on my LBs back. I either use my thumb or two fingers when he’s up against me. I do both sides from bottom to top in small circles. He moves around and makes the grunting noises when I first do it but burps come out and after about 4/5 times he stops moving around or grunting at all and it’s meant he’s actually slept on his back and not had to cosleep!
