Flying any tips? 7 weeks pregnant

I am visiting family in another continent and have a long flight ahead 14+ hours. I plan on wearing compression socks and make sure I have snacks for the trip once in the airport. I am getting nausea on and off, essentially whenever I get hungry or first wake up. Any tricks that helped you if you had to fly long hours or push away nausea?

I flew at 8 weeks, 14 hour flight with nausea. Not going to lie, it was rough! I wore compression socks just incase (previous DVT) take loads of dried food like crackers and salted pretzels and plenty of water! I focused on a screw on the floor for the whole flight. I really hope you manage a good flight and a lovely time away wish I could be more positive but that was my experience xxx

If your morning sickness was like mine, go ahead and buy a pack of hospital emesis bags from Amazon. I don't trust the flimsy little vomit bags on airplanes, and you don't want to have to rely on the bathroom being open when you're desperately running that way! The hospital type bags are pretty cheap on Amazon and are very worth it.

Ginger candy and mint gum to help with the nausea.

So. Tired. 😭😭 [29 weeks]

First trimester was exhausting, then second trimester I've been doing well. Hired a trainer. Lifting weights twice a week and trying to walk 4-5 miles per day! Had some tired days but generally felt good and healthy. I'm at 29 weeks now and suddenly feel just freaking exhausted!!!

Just spent 3.5 hours staring at my phone at my desk and trying to get up to go home to take a nap.

I feel too tired to walk. What is happening!! I didn't expect this until ~34 weeks.

How am I going to do my job?? 😭😭
Just ranting mostly. But open to advice!! Anyone else exhausted?

Do babies movement pattern change around 36 weeks?

I’ve been running around all day today so haven’t notice movement much. I sat down for a bit around 3-4pm and felt baby move but baby seem quite quiet tonight! 🥴

Son’s Birthday

So I do not have any friends with children or many friends at all lol and I was wondering if any mommy’s would like to join my son and I for his third birthday ? My mother passed a year ago and she was pretty nice with planning and inviting family but I am not that good at that. My son’s father/my fiance has also passed recently and I am just hoping that friends can join and show love for my son…
