Me too plain water makes me feel so sick now I have to have dilute juice

That's happened to me before! I bought lemon juice and lime juice to add to water and it helped, I also diluted juice like Anneliese.

It's weird, I'm not picky and I don't know why it started but it went away for me

Have you tried sparkling water? I found this very helpful in early pregnancy

Now if I don’t have much food in my stomach, water does make nauseous but I’ve been drinking extra hydration Gatorade or vitamin water which I haven’t felt nauseous with.

Maybe you might be drinking too much water? When i was a toddler, i was obsessed with water and drank so much that my pediatrician told my mom to not allow me to drink as much as i was because i basically was drowning myself.

I haven’t but that’s a good shout as I’ve been enjoying fizzy pop way too much! 😂

good idea! I’m going to try this thank you! Xx

Same situation with me.
My first test came out with urine infection as I was not drinking enough water :(

Now trying to replace water with the following drinks and it is helping me. You can try too :

1. Coconut water 🥥
2. Lemon water (with a little salt and sugar) 🍋
3. Home made butter milk ( 1 spoon of yogurt with a pinch of salt and mix it well with cold water - really good for digestion and constipation too)

4. Raspberries and Lemon water ( with a pinch of salt and 1 spoon of sugar - or as per your taste)

This is working for me, I hope it will help you too :)

Yup! Flavoured sparkling water fixed it for me 😊

Anyone else up feeding their Bebe?

As above. Trying so hard to keep my eyes open

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??

Anyone else experiencing this?

Gave birth (vagina) 5 days ago and yesterday morning and this morning getting lot of pain in my right bottom side and lower back

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.

It’s my birthday tomorrow.

Ok so I am going to be 35 years young. I can’t believe how much this life has thrown at me but it’s okay I’m a survivor. I am truly blessed to be alive. 🥳🧁🎂 The only downside is I won’t be celebrating my birthday because my man can’t take me out. So many emotions right now.
