Question?

I only get sick when I take my prenatals but I’m nauseous daily, this pregnancy is so different than my first and it kinda makes me worry sometimes. I’m 8 weeks tomorrow, can I request to have a sooner scan to make sure everything is ok? I have my 10-week scan at the end of this month. Or is this normal to feel different and not be sick daily.

I was told each pregnancy is different, but this is only my 1st and I’m having a rough go of it. Try taking your prenatal before bed. My midwife suggested I take my Pepcid and prenatal before bed due to my nausea and vomiting. Otherwise just taking magnesium, B6, emetrol, and wearing my sea bands (although I’m not convinced they work).

I’m in the US where they told me my first scan is at 8 weeks. Just had it done this past Tuesday actually. You can always call them and ask! Gotta advocate for your health and do anything you can to feel better 💕

So with my first I was sick every day 🤢With my current pregnancy I’ve not been sick but have been extremely nauseous every day all day long, which has only helped by constant snacking- something I didn’t do with my first. I guess every pregnancy is different

yes I’ve been really nauseous with everything it seems

I will try taking the prenatals at night to see if there is a difference

With my first I was constantly nauseous and sick. This time I’m only nauseous first thing in the morning and if I don’t eat every couple of hours, I’ve not been sick yet. I’m 8+4. It’s making me so nervous that everything is so different, I’m actually paying for weekly private scans to put my mind at rest 😭

Every pregnancy is so very different. This is my fourth viable pregnancy, and I have been the most sick and exhausted with this one😵‍💫 My first I had typical morning sickness, second I had nothing, third I had typical morning sickness and pukey first thing.

Try a prenatal with less or no iron in it. Iron is rough on your stomach and can be responsible for making nausea worse.

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!
