If they aren’t working you need to go back to doctor and ask for something stronger like ondansetron. The Pregnancy Sickness Support website has lots of info on the different treatments available

it’s exasperating but doctors can’t know which of all medications will work for you so there are “paths” that go from 1st line drugs all day way into the very serious ones and they need to slowly prescribe you one after the other until they find the one that works.

Even when you find the one that stops the symptoms, watch out for dizziness/drowsiness secondary effects as it could be dangerous if you aren’t careful/drive/etc.

Hope it gets better soon!! 🤞

I’ve been in hospital twice now and I’ve never felt so poorly. However I’m now on 3 anti sickness meds and the last 5 days I’ve been a new person. No sickness. Eating and drinking! I’m taking Cyclizine, Ondanzatron and Prochloporozine. 9 tablets a day in total. Get more meds. Strict timings. Promise it’ll get better

They can’t be hesitant to prescribe ondansetron until week 12. I had 6 hospital admissions on drips and still wasn’t prescribed it until after that point. Had all the other medication instead but none worked. Luckily ondansetron saved me but was still sick up until week 30😭 HG is horrific

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

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

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Planned c section

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