New symptom unlocked

Today has been so rough. Scents are sending me into the worst waves of nausea. Was riding in my sisters car today and her air freshener had me so nauseous I about launched myself into on coming traffic when I went to throw up so that I didn't throw up in her car! Apparently my mom had the same issue when she was pregnant with me. Came home to my dad cooking ribs and that made it worse! Anyone else dealing with this?

Relate! That’s me with candles. Prior to my pregnancy, I LOVED the pecan/ pumpkin/vanilla bean candle scent at bath and bodies. Now if I even get close to the smell, I literally want to gag and the waves of nausea come rolling in. It kinda makes me sad bc I’ve always enjoy that smell no matter what season. Hopefully once this is over I can go back to my normal self again and be able to smell those candles 😭

that's exactly the scent in her car (which is also the candle burning at the house lol) that made me lose it 🤣 I love pine candles in the winter so I hope that scent doesn't bother me!

Yup food smells are the worst. A fried made me soup and it took me 30 mins to warm up to the smell enough to even try it. It didn’t go well. But I’m okay with artificial smells

I opened the garbage this morning to throw something away and I’ve never heaved so fast 😅 same with dishes occasionally and I cleaned out the fridge…. It so bad!

I couldn’t be around my fiancé when he got home. The smell of him walking in the house made me want to throw up. Never bothered me before. It did get a little better but I still make him shower right away because when he doesn’t I start to smell it shortly after

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

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

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??

C section compression socks

Hey ladies when did you ditch the compression socks and how mobile were you when you did? I’m so done with them! 6 weeks tomorrow since the op and im walking around the house doing jobs and baby care but not really out and about yet (the odd day I am) is it safe to ditch the socks?

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?

Leaving baby for date night

How old was your baby the first time you left them for a night alone with your partner or friends? How long did you leave them for and who did you leave them with?
