How much sickness is normal?

I am 8 weeks and 6 days and from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed I have nausea. Yesterday I was sick 5 times, but that only gave temporary relief and then went straight back to being nauseous again. I now have blood spots under and on my eyelids from the force of being sick. I've had 2 children before but the sickness didn't start until I was 13 weeks with them. I'm finding it harder this time due to having 2 kids to look after. Yesterday I literally didn't move from the sofa unless it was to be sick :(

I’m only 10 weeks with my first baby so i’ve not got as much experience as you!! But things that have really helped me is eating breakfast as soon as i wake up.. hunger is what was making me sick.. and best thing thats helped me is putting a chair in the kitchen so i can sit on lots whilst making breaky because the standing up with no food in me was making me sick every morn! A dry cracker or biscuit and waterbottle before you get out of bed is meant to help. I know its easier said than done but I’ve found the more i just ignored mine and get out the house to do things/go to work the better its got :) mine was only bad week 6-8 tho and by week 9 i got so much better even tho thats when its meant to be at its worst so hang in there!!

Sounds just like me!😫 I’m 10 weeks and I feel sick all day no matter what I eat etc, I’m sick atleast once or twice but I can’t get rid of the feeling! I can’t eat like normal cause of it, with my first once I was sick I was fine after but nothing is helping, friends have suggested talking to the doctors for some tablets but I’m trying to edit it out at the moment, hope it gets better for you x

I’m 10 weeks and from week 6 I’ve had horrendous sickness on a bad day it’s 6-7 time a day on a good day 3! I’ve had anti sickness prescribed from the docs which has eased it and on a bad day it’s about 3-4 times now good day 2! But food is my enemy the smell, or look of it just makes me sick :( I really want it to stop so I can just enjoy my pregnancy now … 4 weeks of pure sickness and tiredness with no energy is so draining xx

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!
