First trimester with a toddler tips?

So I’m 8 weeks pregnant with my second baby with have an active 19 month old. I’ve been experiencing very bad nausea with no vomitting so requested anti nausea meds and for prescribed Cyclizine. I’ve been on this for 4 days and although it helped with the nausea. I now have an extreme fatigue and feel as if I am going to faint or fall asleep every afternoon. I stopped taking it now as it just made things worse in being safely present for my toddler. Any tips? Or experience with anti sickness meds? Really struggling

Hey there are few different sickness meds so you could request to try a new one. Cyclizine didn't help my nausea just made me drowsy so I struggled with work and looking after my toddler it was just a bit of trial and error till I found one that worked better for me x

Hey. I struggled with constant nausea at the start of my second pregnancy which has thankfully eased off now, but I still get random days where it strikes. I found that mints and peppermint cordial really helped me in the moments of nausea... The fatigue is unreal, especially chasing a toddler round at the same time so I try to have small but frequent snacks of things like nuts, eggs and homemade oat bars to help. Hope this helps xx

Nobody warned me about this....

So I got my first postpartum period on Monday. Now I was a medium-heavy flow before getting pregnant. But my god this period

Blood clots galore (none bigger than a 50p coin), soaking through pads every 3-4hrs, constantly needing to go to the toilet to clean myself up every time I stand up. I've had to throw out knickers and have ruined 3 pyjama bottoms already from getting up in the mornings 😮‍💨

I'm getting proper fed up with it now. Is this normal?

Partners family crossing a line about our baby’s name.

I don’t know if I’m being a bit over sensitive/dramatic.

My baby will be having my partners surname, and his family have chosen the middle name - it’s tradition in their family for the first born son to have a particular middle name - I don’t really like the name but I agreed because it’s important to them.

I have chosen a first name I really love and my partner has agreed to it because he already has the middle and surname, but his family hate it and are trying to convince me out of it. They keep telling me it’s a horrible name and are trying to push other names on me that I don’t like. I’ve tried to explain why I like the name but they just won’t stop and accept it. I’m finding it quite rude and it’s beginning to hurt my feelings. It feels like they don’t care about me having any input in my son’s name at all.

Am I overreacting.. should I just ignore it, should I say something to them or should I consider changing the name since everyone seems to hate it so much?
