Unisom/B6 question

I’m 15w3d and started taking this combo on Friday after my doctor recommended it for nausea and vomiting on Thursday. Before this I hadn’t been taking anything. I had been getting sick in the morning, feeling nauseous and food averse all day, then getting sick again right before bed, not to mention waking up every night feeling nauseous and sometimes getting up to vomit at like 3-4 am.

When did other people notice a difference in how they felt day to day? I’ve been taking the B6 every 6-8 hours as instructed and the unisom right before bed. It seems like right before 6 hours are up, I start to feel nauseous again. And this morning, I woke up and was sick like I hadn’t taken anything. Will it just take a while before the meds start working? I don’t know that I can do this for the rest of my pregnancy.

I take the combination at night before I got to sleep, and I was told I can take b6 in to 5 times during the day. They work during this pregnancy better for me, because I follow the routine of taking it all the time whereas last time I took it randomly and they did not work :( I hope you feel better soon! I’m 15 weeks too and still on the nausea train.

The first time I took those I threw up almost immediately after 🙂 I’ve since decided to just deal with my nausea as it comes.

Also I’m 15w, 3D as well! ☺️

I still only take B6 and Iam about 17 weeks. Unisom made me a zombie. At times I get nausea still but it wasn’t like week 6-14. I am starting to eat more veggies again and tolerably certain things

Tomorrow I’ll be 14 weeks and I can’t lie I’ve tried it ALL. Prescriptive meds, Unisom & B6 and nothing works for my nausea. I have decided to raw dog it because I feel like some of those things naturally make it worse. I carry an ultimate supply of sour things in my purse and they help SO MUCH. Also, strawberries. Super cold strawberries ease my nausea. Hang in there mama, there’s light at the end of the tunnel 🫶🏼🤎

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! 🥰

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?

Fatigue

I had a GP (it was a woman) tell me she’s never heard of fatigue or exhaustion in the first trimester and that my body shouldn’t be tired from “making a few cells” - she asked if I was depressed and if I wanted to keep the baby/if it was planned and was kinda blaming me on not getting out of bed enough. I’m usually a very busy person, who is always on the go. All my bloods have been coming back okay, but the exhaustion is next level. I said it just feels like I’ve had the flu for the last 6 weeks. She said well is it the flu? That I should be energised and never heard of women being so exhausted before. She was very rude and just feels like it’s my fault I feel this way.
