Woke up with vomiting today and it's making it hard to take in water

I'm 36+2 and I'm having pretty bad vomiting. I'm hoping it calms down but honestly I'm not sure what to do. I'm also getting lower cramps as I get more dehydrated. I have an appointment today I'm going to try to still make it... hopefully I don't go into labor

I started up my morning sickness at 31 weeks. Ask for some zolfran to take home. Hope all is well!

Are you experiencing really bad heartburn/ acid reflux at all? I suffer from it horribly and some days it makes me throw up 2-6x. im 34 weeks

Oh yes!! And certain positions laying down or sitting make it worse!! Try taking omeprazole. That’s what my doctors recommended. One in the morning should help the whole day and then one before bed I take them. They usually are a white bottle with a purple cap.

I’m 34 weeks as well. You can get them over the counter. Or a doctor can prescribe them usually for a few bucks cheaper

Same here!! 35+5 and my acid reflux has gotten SIGNIFICANTLY worse on top of my morning sickness being back. The acid reflux keeps me throwing up. Even with just water. Best thing I can suggest is asking for a zofran prescription and getting some Pepcid!! They’ve been my life savers!! And (until your tummy settles) don’t try to drink too much just straight water (I know, I know but hear me out). Straight water is heavy on an upset stomach. Instead try getting in hydration with popsicles, ice, any form of electrolyte drink (especially if you’ve been throwing up for days like I’ve been). DEFINITELY mention this to your OB at your next appointment. My first trimester I was so sick that I had to get IV fluids and vitamins (along with IV zofran until my vomiting was under control, then I did the under the tongue zofran) to get me back hydrated. Not saying that you’re that bad off, I’m in no way a doctor so please don’t freak out about what I just said. But definitely speak w/ your dr (1/2)

About getting a zofran prescription and try other forms of hydrating yourself. Being dehydrated can bring on cramps so that might be all your cramping is but DEFINITELY bring all of your symptoms up at your next appointment and go from there. In the meantime before your next appointment, the ginger chews and hard candies (I think their brand name is GinGins) were a LIFE SAVER as well as those prego pops. (2/2)

I am 36+2 and I’ve been vomiting bad for the last 36 weeks. I use zolfran and omeprazole but being honest doesn’t work really good to me. Maybe it is just a bad day for you

yes but this was projectile vomiting and stomach cramps. Veeeeery different from my usual nausea with heartburn

I did take some extra zofran that we had from a previous stomach flu. It seemed to help. My midwife said that if I can take in fluids and food tomorrow with no zofran I should be okay. But if I can't then I may need IV fluids.
I still have no fever or diarrhea...it's possible it's food poisoning

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.

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
