Goodie bag for a pregnant friend with strong morning sickness

My bestie is 14 weeks pregnant and has had really bad morning sickness from the start, with no sign of it letting up. I’d like to send her a little goodie bag of bits and bobs to make her feel loved. She has barely been able to leave the house. Can you suggest what could go in my goodie bag?

A few nice face masks, she will probably be dehydrated x

That's so nice of you! Things I've found help my nausea: Travel sickness wrist bands, salty snacks (crisps, crackers, pretzels), isotonic/ sports drinks, ginger tea, ginger biscuits, ginger ale and ice lollies. I also went to the Dr for prescription medication for sickness and that helped the most

Yes to those ready salted crisps!

A new pair of jammies or slippers! I lived in mine when I had HG bad and although it didn’t help the sickness, it made me feel better in one way x

Peppermint oil to sprinkle on cotton pads and put in a nice jar to sniff - lasts ages and really helped me!!

Soft mints really helped me! I know ginger things are meant to help as well but I couldn’t take to it

Salted crackers like Tucs and some peanuts were great for soaking up the sick feeling

I made one for a friend recently and I included gum/mints to help with nausea, ginger candy, and body armor since she’s also breastfeeding and hydration is double important

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?
