Hi :) I’ve been prescribed Xonvea at 8 weeks pregnant for hyperemisis but this is the first time I’ve heard of this drug.

Has anyone used it and delivered a healthy baby? I was pregnant in 2023 and tried all the antisickness medications but I was told that Xonvea came out in 2024. Concerned about its safety

Hi! I used this medication last year from around 8 weeks, it was the 4th anti sickness tablet I tried - nothing else worked, xonvea was amazing! I was on it until I gave birth as my HG unfortunately lasted all the way through. Delivered a healthy baby who is 6months now doing really well! Of course please do your research but this drug was life saving for me!

It's super safe. It's the only medication made for pregnancy nausea specifically.

I was given it for my last pregnancy and had a healthy baby girl February last year. Best anti sickness pill I had been given. It’s been out since 2018 pacifically made for pregnancy.

I would say try your Zofran or I would say if you can’t keep anything down with any medication that the suppository version you ask them if you could do a suppository so you can keep it down. I know some people don’t like putting nothing up there but hey, it works. That’s really an option if you can’t cause if you take whatever medicine they give you and you still throwing up nine times out of the 10 you’re throwing up the medicine as well.

I had SO MUCH Xoneva and I have a healthy baby boy.

The medicines regulator have a “yellow card scheme” where people report adverse effects on medicines and they would take action swiftly if it was unsafe. (I’m assuming you are in the UK)

I tried multiple tablets, Xonvea was the only one that didn’t have side effects. It worked really well for me and a handful others that I know who suffered with HG. My baby is happy and healthy, hitting all her cognitive milestones early etc - she was born on the 30th centile

What do you think?

I took this test yesterday (5 dpo) and it's the boots 5 days early pregnancy test, i thought it was an early positive but now im doubting it because apparently there tests aren't very reliable and have indent lines all the time? but this showed up right away...i hate the 2 week wait

Line progression

Does this progression look positive? I am roughly 18dpo and according to LMP 5 weeks pregnant. The bottom test is 2 days ago 16dpo middle yesterday and top one is today. I’m concerned as it’s not looking much darker?

IUD

I’m due to give birth soon and I’m considering getting an IUD fitted at the time or soon after. Can you please share your experiences of either copper or hormonal IUDs? I’m leaning more towards copper. I’ve never used any form of contraception before (apart from condoms) so I’m quite anxious about potential side effects

Advice for someone considering trying for a 2nd child please 🙏

We have been backwards and forwards on having another for a long time but I think we are pretty set on trying for a 2nd. Does anyone have any useful advice or tips on having a second child?!

Advice on boundaries

Hi mums! I'm desperate for some advice regarding setting boundaries with my mother.

For context, my husband (27) and I (25) currently live at home with my parents. I'm pregnant with our first baby during the week of Christmas and struggling with trying to set boundaries with my mother regarding our baby especially within the first few weeks of her life.

My mother is under the impression that I need to follow in the same footsteps as my older sister who allowed visitors in hospital to her twin babies within days of them being born, however I do not feel comfortable with this as I am due to give birth during peak flu/illness season and Christmas, and I am wary about getting our baby ill, plus the fact that I will be recovering from birth already at home with my parents and I would like to spend time with my husband and our baby, learning how to breastfeed and getting used to being a family together and building routines with our baby before we start passing her around to visitors. My mother is adamant that regardless of when our baby is born, there will be lots of family coming to visit myself and the baby when I have stated my discomfort with visitors directly after giving birth and I feel at my wits end trying to explain that I would really like to decide for myself when I feel that I am ready for anyone to visit.

My dilemma is that we live at home with my parents and it is their house: I know I do not have the right to tell them who they can and cannot have in their house at any point but I would have hoped that I could at least have time with my newborn baby and husband as a new family and time for me to recover from birth. Since our baby is due around Christmas there is the possibility that she could be born on Christmas Day or Boxing Day, for example. Our family visits on Boxing Day for gifts and Christmas dinner, and my mother insists that she will not stop the family from visiting on Boxing Day if I do end up giving birth within that week before or on Boxing Day.

Is there any way I can get through to her about my discomfort around visitors without sounding like I am trying to police who visits her home? She has told me I can just stay in my bedroom with the baby whilst the family visits but I cannot be locked in my bedroom all day with my baby just to avoid unwanted visitors. My sister in law tells me that my mother is being unreasonable and that since it is my baby I should be able to decide when I am ready for visitors, but she does live at home with us and my mother will not budge.
Please help!

VFL or dodgy test?

Posted another photo in comments. Read when it stated but the dye didn’t settle fully. I feel I can see 2 lines but maybe just my eyes? Anyone else?
