Need some hope 😩

I am 4 months pregnant with extreme sickness that hasn’t stopped!
Vomiting almost everyday, and then I don’t feel like eating anything the rest of the day. Also having gestational diabetes and doctors already pushing on medication when I cannot even have proper meals!!!!!
Anybody in the same situation or any reassurance that It will get better?
I honestly feel miserable!!!!!! 😫😮‍💨

Have you tried anti sickness medication? Cyclizine and odansetron are brilliant

I did try many antisickness medicines and none work. ondasetron I haven’t tried, midwife suggested but GP refused to give me as he said is too strong for pregnancy 😕

That's a lie as long as you're past 14 weeks which you are it's safe to use and loads of women use it I'm being given it tomorrow when I pick up my new prescription as the cyclizine isn't cutting it now

Yeah I’m 17 weeks tomorrow and I’m alternating between Cyclizine, Prochlorparzine and Ondansatron. Not vomiting as much but it doesn’t look like it will ever stop. Your local hospital should have an Ambulatory Emergency Care Unit where you can receive IV fluids and other antisickness should you need them. Hang in there mama

I had really bad sickness and was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum and they gave me Prochlorperazine 3mg buccal tablets! They got ride of it! But mine went at around 18 weeks x

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!
