Sickness 😔

I'm 19 weeks pregnant and since week 6 I've been really sick. I've lost just over 2 stone in those 19 weeks. The consultant I'm under knows this and says it's ok. She's given me some anti sickness tablets which are ok through the day but I can be sick 4/5 times in a morning before I get chance to take one.

Does anyone have any advice or things to help with sickness? I need to add I also have gestational diabetes so some of the dry snacks aren't recommended 😔

Look up hyperemesis gravidarum, bring this to their attention and don’t lay off if they dismiss it. I almost died from having 2 doctors gaslight me into thinking this sort of “morning sickness“ was normal. I tried EVERYTHING but It wasn’t until I was hospitalized for the 3rd time someone said something. I had to stay for a week on fluids and a special diet until they figured out what will work for me to kind of function. Self advocating is hard so if you need, bring someone with you to the doctor to help you. Good luck mama.

My mum had HG with all 3 of her pregnancies and to stop herself getting dehydrated she would drink one sip of flat coke every couple of minutes or so when she needed a drink. She said this meant she kept it down and got electrolytes from it too. Same with nibbling crackers, one mouthful at a time every few minutes. She said it was tedious but just helped stuff stay down x

I had severe HG and couldn’t even keep water down I had to be hospitalised as was very dehydrated but I found that the anti sickness IV drip I received really helped a lot for a few days even after being discharged. I’d say go to the hospital rather than the GP if you haven’t already. Good luck mama you got this!!

Scanxiety!

Is this just me!?

I have a growth scan today- baby girl’s EFW was 13% at a scan 2.5 weeks ago. This is my third bay and my others have been 50%.

Any words of wisdom? I’m 32+3

8 weeks and tests getting lighter

Hi im currently 8 weeks pregnant and ive noticed that my tests are becoming lighter, I know your going to tell me i shouldn't be testing 🙃 but ive had 4 missed misscarriges in the last couple of years so my anxiety is high! I had a scan at 6+3 with a heartbeat and a crl of 7mm. I just dont understand why the tests are becoming lighter. Its not the hook affect because ive tried to dilute and it becomes even lighter, I have noticed the tests are darker with 3rd wee of the day rather than fmu. Has anyone else experienced this and everything turned out to be okay? I cant help to feel this is going to turn into another missed miscarriage.

Im having an elective c section in 6 days and Im absolutely terrified!

I have chosen to have an elective c section due to having a lot more control over the situation and other factors but now I’m really panicking! Theres only two ways to get her out and they both seem terrible to me 😂. I haven’t ever had any surgery and i even put off going to the dentist or getting blood tests due to my fears.

Im not even sure what I’m looking for here but hopefully hearing some of your guys experiences might help ❤️

Night Terrors

Hi,

My 5 month old has been quite often having these nightmare type stages of sleep, he breathes quickly and whimpers in his sleep.

This doesn’t happen every night but has become increasingly regular. When he is in these states he doesn’t breathe unless it’s with a cry and that panics me.

Is this normal for them to have these ‘night terrors’? Some of the episodes can last 15/20 minutes before he is back to sleeping normally & he doesn’t respond to touch or comfort which is how I can tell he is still fully asleep…
