Xonvea

Has anyone else been out on xonvea for nausea and sickness? I was sick 3/4 times a day from 7-20 weeks with my first and have been preemptively put on xonvea once in the morning as the nausea has already started at 6 weeks. Has anyone found this effective? Also does the drowsiness wear off after taking it for a few days? Struggling to stay awake about an hour after taking.

I have tried Xonvea but I didn't like it at all as I felt drowsy after taking it so the doctors put me on cyclozine x it works for me, I have been having severe sickness from week 5/6 and it eased off a little at the start of week 16 x will be 17 weeks in few days and still vomiting 2-3 times a day - without the tablets I can't hold anything down for longer than 2-3 hours x I am carrying twins so its an extra strain on the body etc x might be worth trying cyclozine if the drowsiness continues x

I was put on it and ended up cutting my dose in half because of the drowsiness which seemed to be the happy medium. One thing I wasn’t warned about was when I came off it, I had about 3 days of intense nausea and hayfever - I probably should’ve weaned off of it rather than stopping cold turkey

I used it most days of my pregnancy combined with Ondansetron as I had HG. The Xoneva did make me a little sleepy so I tended to take that at night and Ondansetron in the day. Ondansetron is typically only prescribed after 10 weeks due to increased risk of cleft palate.

Should dads be allowed to stay on the maternity unit overnights?

When I was in having my last baby, the written rules were dads had to leave by say 10pm and could come back in the following morning. It wasn’t until hours after I said goodbye to my husband I realised that the 3 other women in the room had been allowed to have their partners stay. One was snoring loudly, one was constantly walking and hovering about and also using the in room toilet which stated patient only. The gaps in the curtains made me feel extremely uncomfortable with boobs out,bleeding and vulnerable as you expect after a birth. I also was aware they could hear every personal question the midwife would ask me. This is making me anxious for my delivery this time around :-(

I think I may be pregnant.

So, I've been experiencing a lot of pregnancy symptoms for the past 3 weeks or so. I took 2 pregnancy tests, and they were both negative. So I don't know what to think. But Chatgpt said it was two soon for the tests. So I don't know. I'm just confused and have a lot of mixed emotions. My best friend thinks I am pregnant, however. I'm getting all the symptoms I got when I was pregnant with my son, tho. But I think I'd just wait for my cycle, and if it doesn't come, that'll let me know if I am. What do you think, tho?

After pains

Has anyone found anything that helps the after pains?
They are way worse after my second. I am breastfeeding so I know that makes them come strong when feeding!
I’m taking paracetamol/ ibuprofen but I’m still curling my toes at these cramps 😖

Water run? Morrisons test.

Hi! Took this test this morning (12dpo, no period yet) and I’ve seen this on my test. Unsure if it’s a water run or maybe something more. What are your thoughts?

C section gas pain

First night home last night following a section, thrown up in the night due to severe gas pain. Also little one will not sleep unless on one of us so exhausted on top. Any tips 😩

C section Worcester 💖

I’m currently laid in bed with my new baby boy 💙after an elective c section in Worcester and I have to say I was so scared! I’m a huge wimp and haven’t had any medicals even though I’m 33 but if anyone needs to hear it, the team were unbelievable, I was in at 8am and out of theatre by 9,59am Friday and little boy was born.

An amazing & positive team! They did tremendous. I’m in recovery now but in case anyone wanted a little reassurance if you’re worried :) #worcester #csection
