Have you tried Unisom & vitamin B6? I was in the same boat and that combo really helped me! It was recommended by my OB

Ugh I’m sorry 😢 how many weeks are you? I was able to take zofran as needed after 24 weeks

I was prescribed 5mg dissolvable tablets in 1st trimester, and they were the best thing for me and my pregnancy, as I felt sick all day and couldn't eat much.
There will always be risks you have to weigh up.
I have a healthy girl 5mths, but I guess there are still risks I'd talk to a medical professional about.

Had it prescribed because of HG but it wasn’t helpful just made me severely nauseated 🤢.

Have you tried things like hard ginger candy, ginger tea, ginger ale, anything minty/peppermint, things like that?

I tried it and it didn’t work at all. The texture also made me throw up even harder.
Zofran is what they prescribe to chemo patients to help them with their nausea as well. So I know it helps a lot of people-just didn’t help me.
I was on Diclegis for both my pregnancies and it was the only thing that helped me at all. I could barely drink water without throwing up if I wasn’t on Diclegis. Supposedly, it’s a common prescription for HG in Europe, but not here? 🤷🏻‍♀️
Experienced no issues with it and neither did my babies. Complete relief though. And I was so desperate that getting relief for the whole pregnancy was such a miracle. The only struggle I had was my insurance approving it, because they’re buttheads. Lolol.
Good luck.

I took it in the first trimester and a little bit in the second, no cleft palate. It helped a little but I needed more than zofran my hg was not fun.

I had severe morning sickness, I couldn't eat and that slowed my recovery from COVID. They prescribed me a small dose and I was able to feed myself and therefore feed my child.
If you've done the research and still want it, you need to be blunt with your OB that you've weighed the risks and you need to take care of your body to keep your child healthy. A quick Google search shows how small the increase in risk is and that the studies haven't resulted in a 100% confirmation of those results.

I found it to be a godsend for my nausea. I already took it for my anxiety on occasion prior to pregnancy so I knew it worked well for me, though. When speaking with my GP and nurse practitioner in the early stages of pregnancy I expressed that it was something I wanted to continue taking for the nausea and they advised there is low risk especially if we tried to keep it to just 4-8mg a day (which we did). I know plenty of women who have taken it throughout pregnancy and had healthy babies. 🧡

My OB prescribes zofran for every patient that has nausea, & said she has NEVER had a baby come out w cleft pallet. However, I had to use unisom, B6, Zofran, Promethazine, all of it! For me, nothing worked other than waiting it out until the 2nd trimester): hope you feel better mama🩵

I was prescribed bonjesta, helped immensely with the terrible sickness I was experiencing

I was prescribed cyclizine with both of mine. There are different groups of anti sickness tablets that work on different types of sickness so ask for a different type. Cyclizine is technically an anti histamine but the dosage etc works on sickness

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠

Whyyy?

I get horny when my man isn’t around but when he’s around and in the mood I’m not. This last Thursday he made me squirt a lot for by birthday. We only get intimate like 2 times a month.

Question about ejaculation

I tell my partner to wear a condom not only for protection but also so that there's no mess to clean up when I get up to use the toilet. Is this normal?
I ask because I now have the contraceptive pill but I still want him to wear a condom.

I need an AI app recc to talk to.

I have no family. I have no real friends. Just one that I text. But she’s 8 years younger and isnt a mom. I genuinely don’t talk to anyone other than my partner and our toddlers. I’ve seen some people use AI? Or a chatgbpt? I dont know but if someone could suggest an app that I can just talk to… I would love to have a friend or something instead but this is probably for the best…
