Hi! I’m currently 16w1d and thought the nausea and vomiting would’ve eased off a bit by now but if anything it’s worse than it was in my first trimester. I can’t even drink water without having to run to the loo. I’ve been prescribed cyclezine as an anti-sickness medication but I can’t even keep that down. Is this common or something I should be concerned about?

unfortunately way more common than gets discussed, it sounds like hg. cyclizine is literally a nothing medicine for hg, ask for xonvea (specifically made to help with pregnancy sickness) or ondansetron (very good at stopping the vomiting so you can at least keep food down). you can also go to the hospital if you're not keeping water down to get an IV with some fluids, if it's ever too much please do this and it will help you feel better.
it absolutely sucks, but it may still go away (though sometimes it does stay the whole time), and it won't hurt the baby. im here if you want to talk or have questions

I second Xonvia, currently 26 weeks and still throwing up :/ stay strong and always speak to someone if your mental health starts to struggle, it’s very common with HG
You can also get what’s called a second line anti nausea medicine to help… hope you feel better soon x
I’ve been prescribed 25mg sertraline at 5 weeks due to extreme anxiety.
My anxiety is making me question whether or not I can go through with pregnancy, before I was pregnant I was sure I wanted a baby so I’m hoping it’s now just my mental health that is making me unable to see a light at the end of the tunnel.
I’m petrified of bumps, needles, hospitals, and definitely birth.
Does anyone have any experience with sertraline? I am hoping this is going to help me but I’m scared it doesn’t.

Hi lovelies💕 currently 38+3 now. Ive found myself the past week or so waking up in a panic that something is wrong with bubba. I think it’s because I’m so close to seeing her🥹 Anyone else relate?😞

Hi all! What was the weirdest thing you cried about so far while pregnant?
I had an absolute meltdown last night when my husband woke me up after watching our show to go and brush my teeth 🤣 like literally I was sobbing bc I was so tired and he dared to wake me up to make sure I take care of myself 😭🤣 even offered to bring me my toothbrush for me so I don’t have to get up but I wouldn’t brush my teeth my way then so that wasn’t good enough! 🤣 poor guy is being rather patient with me and I just know it’s my hormones being all over the place so I don’t want to feel so alone! Join me with sharing your stories 🤣

I am 20 weeks pregnant and I think it’s time for a pregnancy pillow. I am not sure which ones are the best. Any suggestions please ?

I’m 34 and thinking about trying for a another baby, but I have quite a few worries and concerns, especially about my age and whether it might affect my chances of getting pregnant or having a healthy pregnancy. How was your experience? Do you have any advice or tips to help me feel less anxious about pregnancy at this age? ☺️✨
