Help!

So I’m on my third pregnancy. I’ve had HG with all 3 now. I got prescribed a Buccal as soon as I found out I was pregnant because the nausea was the thing that tipped me off that I might be pregnant.

However I’m now roughly 7+3 and the nausea is unbearable. So far I’ve been lucky enough to keep some food and drink down but may I start being sick towards the evening.

I’m eating little and often and avoiding things that set me off but I don’t know what else I can do to ease the nausea. I have two kids under 3 so can’t just go and lie down and rest either as they are very active.

the only thing that worked for me was having ondansetron which I got at 11 weeks. They don’t recommend till after 12 but I was so bad it was so bad I was too early for steroids ☹️ It’s the worst thing ever

Watermelon helped as well and ice lollies 🩷 watery fruit that wasn’t to much on my stomach! you’re so strong for going through it whilst caring for children I’m so scared to have another! You got this 🫶🏼🫶🏼Xxxx

thank you lovely. Unfortunately this is the earliest it’s hit and I had to go into hospital at around 10/11 weeks with my boys so I’m expecting it to get worse over the next few weeks.

I do have a cup of ice cubes which helps a bit. If it helps you to be less scared to have another by the 16/20 week mark it gets a lot more bearable. I wasn’t sick after 22 weeks with my first and was only sick every now and then with my second after 20 weeks.
Also as bad as it sounds I take it as a good sign that the pregnancy is going well. I don’t enjoy being pregnant as they are always so rough for me but I end up with amazing and healthy kids at the end so it’s worth it xx

I second that Ondansetron was the only thing that worked for me, I tried so many different anti-sickness tablets and I’d just throw them all back up! Ondansetron literally saved me or I would have been completely miserable my whole pregnancy!

Lucozade orange sport and the fruit pastille ice lollies were also really helpful!

Sounds strange as well but I found being cold made me feel little less sick🤣 I would just stand with my head in the fridge for a while🤣

I’m the same with the cold thing 😂

yes I found weeks 8-15 were my worst my sickness started week 4 tho! And I found it better after 26 weeks but was still sick every day just not as much and was able to do things haha! And yes that’s true. My birth was soooo easy compared to my pregnancy that’s a plus!🩷 I deffo want more I’m just scared about childcare if I get sick again I was in hospital everyday for that duration 😩

same! I used to lie in my bathroom floor all day 😂😂😂

the sickness is what told me I was pregnant 😂 I wasn’t even late. I found out at 3 and a half weeks as I recognised the sick feeling 🤦‍♀️

I’ve told a few close family members and friends so I have the support and they would all happily watch the boys if I needed to go in. Unfortunately my other half is a chef so WFH isn’t an option for him, so a good support network was a must.

it’s so crazy isn’t it. I felt poorly THE DAY after I conceived and found out at 1 week 😂😂 it was a looong pregnancy to say the least and that’s good I’m glad you have the support! Hope it’s not as bad this time round 🥹🩷

As silly as it sounds crackers/goldfish crackers or teddy grahams by the bed and try to eat even a few before getting out of bed or at least when you get up also remeber to replace your electrolytes although Gatorade made me feel sick every time, fruit cups, apple sauce, frozen grapes, strawberries, blueberries were all great, ice packs because being cold helped me too although other times I just wanted to curl up in my fluffy robe and than the next I was ripping it off dying of heat. HG is so hard to deal with I had it until about 7 1/2 months pregnant and wa sick from the get go finally went to the dr and I was only 3-4 weeks pregnant 😭 as for having other littles around Idk what to say besides having any support or help from family or friends I would take it! This was my 1st baby and always thought id have 2-3 kids and now Im terrified to ever get pregnant again 😐

I was given steroids at about 7 weeks due to being really bad and hospitalised xxxx

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?

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

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?
