Sickness

Starting to get really fed up with the constant nausea & sickness 😢 it’s been non stop for 4 weeks (I’m 9+1 now). Got anti sickness meds from the doctor but they made me feel horrible and didn’t stop the sickness.

Can barely lift my head off the pillow and just want to lie down all day. I’ve lost 7 pounds - so low on energy. Keep bursting into tears. Feel like the most useless wife and mother to our 16 month old.

I no how you feel I’m 11weeks now and I’m so fed up with feeling sick being sick and dry heaving. I’m just miserable I haven’t been able to enjoy anything over the festive season because im so miserable. I just want to sleep until it’s over xxx

Can relate to this 100% going through the same. Now 11 weeks and very slightly better. I think we need to be kind to ourselves and allow ourselves all the rest we need, it’s not easy !

These guys really helped me when I was experiencing the same…

Sorry you feel this way. I can completely relate - been awful from 6 weeks and still present at 14. Which anti sickness have you been on? Some may be more effective for you than others x

Go back to the doctors and ask for a different type of anti sickness. There are lots of different ones and my doctor told me that often the first option they get people to try doesn’t work on everyone and they have more success with others.
Hoping you start to feel better, I’m also suffering with severe nausea and it’s tough going!

I was going put on anti sickness at around 8 weeks and omg it’s changed my life around. I’m able to enjoy food again. I had lost about 5kg which was worrying. Honestly, grab yourself the antisickness from your midwife and start taking them. I do about 1-2 a day. They do make you a TAD sleepy at the start but you get used to it very quickly.

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

Groin pain?

So I’m 34 weeks with my second and for a couple days now I’ve had terrible groin pain so bad that sometimes I can’t even walk or shift a certain way or I feel like the baby is just gonna rip out of my groin… I definitely was uncomfortable towards the end with my last pregnancy but this is just absolutely awful. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or anything that helps?? It’s making it so hard to still care for a toddler when I can barely move without pain..
