Speak to your GP and get some medication - you don’t need to suffer like this until 20 weeks, sickness like this isn’t the norm! They might offer you first line options at first which might not work, but after a couple of days go back and ask for something else until you find something that works. For me I would have small bites of rich tea biscuits throughout the day which would sometimes help to delay throwing up if I had to drive somewhere or something. Very small sips is your best bet for keeping fluids down, and sugary fluids helped me the most xx

Speak to your GP, I was dignosed with HG early on and now on two types of sickness tablets that have stopped me throwing up! Nausea still there but completely manageable, I'm now 22 weeks.

There is a few different tablets to try but keep on at your GP until you find one that works.

Aww bless you . I totally understand what you’re going through. I had HG so I was constantly admitted into hospital. I could not eat properly until I was 7months so I had to go on milkshakes which I was given by my dietrican to gain some weight as I was loosing a lot of weight.the only anti sickness that helped me was ondanceston which I was only allowed to take after I was 12weeks.

I was, in fact I am 20 weeks now and have thrown up so badly today that I’ve burst blood vessels all over my face! But I’m not sick very often anymore and I dont have the constant severe nausea anymore which was the most debilitating part for me.

I never actually had medication but next time I 100% will go for medication from the beginning as I’ve spoke to so many people who found tablets that worked wonders for them.

Nothing else really worked for me, I hardly moved out of bed until 16 weeks and was literally just in survival mode trying to get through every day, rich tea biscuits were the only food I could keep down if I had like 2 biscuits every couple of hours - I really struggled with getting fluids too as drinking anything made me heave so I would force myself to have the tiniest sips of juice or ice lollies. There’s nothing that really helps though other than time and rest - it doesn’t last forever and thankfully my baby is healthy despite the awful start we had!

You might have HG. It’s very important that you get medicated. I found ondansetron (Zofran) very good, some people require a combination of medications and still need IV fluids as well.
It’s so awful and miserable and debilitating, and people with regular morning sickness simply do not understand what HG is like. I couldn’t leave the house, couldn’t work, and couldn’t eat or drink. I lost so much weight.
Sending you so much strength and love ❤️

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
