Nausea FTM

Hi, I’m only 5-6 weeks pregnant and I’m suffering from the worst nausea imaginable, I have anti sickness medication prescribed but nothing seems to be helping. I’m struggling to eat drink and get out of bed is this normal so early on ?
I’m beginning to get concerned that this could be hyperemesis but would this show so early on ? I don’t understand when this will pass, how I’m going to work in this state I’m worried for myself and the fact I’m under 12 weeks really scares me that I’m already being effected so bad.

Bless you girl x I had the same - things that really helped me was sips of water always - eat in morning even if don’t want to but have something in your stomach like even just wetabix - tell your work I was struggling bad and had to deal with customers the worse thing! - I’d say go to hospital to get it checked out if your worried tho! I hope you feel better it will definitely pass! Just try find things that help if get me x hot cuppa will help too!!! I know you feel like you can’t do it. I was throwing up at 6 weeks and it was over by 14 weeks hang in there girly you’re creating a whole human!!!!!

I suffered horrendously with both of mine. I had to tell work early because I spent so much time in the toilet. Things that helped were sucking on a mint. Ginger biscuits plain crackers and I could only drink sips of water x

Can anyone give me advice or tell me why?

Midwife rang me yesterday to book the first appointment.
I’m 4 month post partum so only seen her a few month ago. She sounded really pissed with me, asked multiple times if I wanted to carry on with the pregnancy. I’m 9 weeks on Monday.
This is my third baby.
Look I get why she’d sound pissed I’m aware your meant to wait and I’m aware of the risks. But this is her job and I felt really judged on the phone. ( This is not my question)

She said she’d book me in for Wednesday then I’ll get a scan a few days after at the most a week. I will not be 12 weeks then, Is it because this pregnancy is a high risk hence the early scan?

Advice

I’m 15 weeks pregnant, first time mum, I’ve had so many issues and scares this pregnancy so feel like every chance, twinge, pain or ache is just worrying.

I went to my gp yesterday as I’ve had bad backache and belly ache/ belly twinges the last week, I thought it could be a uti as I know they’re common in pregnancy but they said it was all clear, they gave me a weeks worth of antibiotics (amoxicillin) just incase but I woke up this morning and my back feels like I’m heavy on my period, I have pcos so my period pains where quite rough😩

Is this a normal feeling or should I be concerned?

Pain after sex

Like the title says, ive been having some pain after sex. We waited the 6weeks to be intimate. I had my checkup with the ob but after sex (not during) im crampy, bloated, soar, and sometimes I spot. Some positions hurt after more than others. Like, legs up really hurts afterward(I had a c section), so maybe im engaging my abs too much,idk. Is there anyone else? How long does this last? When should I contact a doctor?

GD

Hey!
I've just had my glucose test back and I've got Gestational Diabetes 😩 has anyone else been diagnosed/had it before?
I'm really struggling with coming to terms with it and anxious about how I'll manage it/what it'll mean for the rest of my pregnancy x

Hospital bag

Those due towards the end of May when are you packing your hospital bag ?

Head down movements

Anyone that’s baby is head down, where do you feel your movements?
My movements are all felt pretty much on my left side, maybe like an inch above my belly button but on my left. Hiccups are felt there too. Some times can feel like squirming like really low down. Can’t tell if she’s still breech or not! I’ve got a presentation scan Monday to find out but still interested to find out where everyone’s movements are if head down, or even breech!
