Hayfever solutions

I'm 10weeks pregnant and suffering so badly from hayfever. I was always on the stance of not using medication during pregnancy but absolutely can't take this anymore.

Can anyone give me recommendations that are pregnancy safe please

Is Paracetamol safe right now?

I have a mild cold and cough, and it has made me feel really rundown. I don't have temp but I think I'll feel a lot better if I take paracetamol.. but not sure if its 100% safe especially in the first trimester. I'm at 11+3 currently.
Anybody else had a similar experience?

morbid/tw: fear of childbirth complications

hi! this is a lot, forewarning, but it’s weighing heavy on my mind and am curious if other moms feel this/felt this going in.

I’m headed in for my induction in a couple days, I’ve had a very difficult pregnancy with loads of complications so my brain feels hardwired to expect the worst. With that, I keep having intense panic attacks about complications resulting in a loss of either my baby or me. I just didn’t think so hard about the most severe outcomes of birth bc I honestly didn’t believe I’d get that far (HG did a number on me) and randomly now that we’re so close & it’s feeling real, I’ve started absolutely spiraling over it.

might just be that I’m a deeply anxious gal who hasn’t been on anxiety meds because of pregnancy & HG, but anyone else feel this? Did anything help quell the worries?

Down syndrome screening results

I feel so anxious. I found out on Friday that my result came back with a 1 in a 150 chance that my baby could have down syndrome.

I really don't know how to feel about it and I'm sooo anxious about it. I've had people tell me that it will still be a cute baby if it is and that it will still be loved but am I wrong to feel like this. I cried so much when I found out that I feel so bad about doing that. I'm 13 weeks and so much has already happened such as I've got gestational diabetes which I found out at 9 weeks now this. I'm really struggling with how to feel 😩.
My husband told me that if I don't want to go through with it that I can get rid of the baby but that isn't a choice I can't do that.

Just can't stop thinking about it all, struggling to sleep, relax or just be happy atm with all the unknown 😭

Leaving baby..
