Yes, I always had nausea before but now I’m sick most days

Have you found anything that's helps? I don't know if I need to go back to midwife. How are you coping? X

I had nausea for first 13 weeks and no sickness now I have sickness and nausea all day everyday

Yeah mines picked up speed, I have medication (have been on it since 7weeks as it’s been bad) and I have to be on top of it and really have small frequent meals (main meal basically at lunch time) and really stay hydrated otherwise it’s just going to be a day/evening of being sick.

Have you tried the wristbands you can get?

I find that in between being sick I’m not too bad, just tired, but it’s worse if I don’t eat so eating little and often is good.

do you mean travel sickness wristbands? I didn't know that would help with this.
I have been trying to snack when i can but still nauseous all the time

I have asked doctor for cyclazine that helps calm for a little while but still feel nauseous. Oh okay will try drink more, hopefully that helps too x

Yes, my friend is pregnant with twins and swears by them

So I found Cyclizine made me worse or wore out really quickly, I’m now on Prochlorperazine and it’s actually made a difference to where I feel a little more human! Always go back to your GP if you think it’s not working! Hope you feel better soon! X

I haven’t actually been sick but I’ve found my nausea is constantly here all day every day since 12 weeks - before then, my nausea wasn’t all day, unlike my last pregnancy. I just want us all to feel a bit normal again with more energy!

Yes mine did around then and has just started to subside again!

Travel sickness wrist bands definitely help me, although I’m also on cyclizine which has stopped me from actually throwing up.
Hope you find something that gives you relief soon 🤞

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

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.

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
