I'm 8 weeks pregnant and honestly am this close 🤏🏼 to stopping eating and drinking all together. The nausea is never ending and i get no relief no matter what i eat or drink. I am gaining weight already because i am trying to eat beige foods to relieve the nausea and its not working anyway. So i'm gaining weight with no benefit. 🤬 I have tried all the little tricks and nothing works. Bland foods, little and often, sips of fluid, crackers, sweets, ginger, orange juice, flapjacks, biscuits. I dont want to eat and have no apetite but forcing myself to for the nausea. Everything tastes wrong, even the things i crave. 🤯 I am exhausted with no time to actually rest.

Sweet I had exactly the same! Go to your GP and get prescribed Xonvea, it’s life changing for extreme sickness and nausea and safe for little baby 👶🏼 🧡

Definitely see your GP. You might have hyperemesis gravidarium (HG). There are a range of treatment/management options which could help. I had awful HG and needed a lot of medical intervention.
Also, try flat full fat coke.

I’m 8 weeks 4 days and my sickness has stopped
I gave birth to my daughter on October 17, and my epidural failed, making my delivery extremely painful and traumatic. I was discharged on October 20 after being told everything was okay. The very next day, October 21, I returned with headaches, fatigue, and vision changes and was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia. I can’t help but question whether I was discharged too soon.
While receiving care in Labor and Delivery, nurse Katie and charge nurse Aaryn T. made my partner and me feel disrespected and dismissed. They also kept me from my 4-day-old newborn, who had been discharged from the same hospital with me on October 21. After such a traumatic birth and a frightening medical complication, I deserved compassion, not more stress.
Postpartum mothers deserve respect, support, and safe care. I hope hospital management takes my experience seriously.
If you’ve personally had an experience here, please consider leaving an honest review to help others make informed decisions. Thank you to everyone supporting my family. ❤️

I had a low lying placenta at my 20 week scan and I’ve just had another scan at 29 weeks and it still hasn’t moved up. Has anyone had it move later on in pregnancy?

I had an emergency C-section at the start of September, and I haven’t had my 6 week discharge/follow up appointment come through from the NHS yet. Are we meant to organise this or is an appointment sent out? Can’t wait to find out when I can start some light exercise and scar massage etc! I’ve had other appointments since but nothing that focuses on this. Thank you 🙏🏼

I’m pregnant with my first baby. We are expecting a little boy in mid January.
My partner and I have a few names on our list that we like, however I fear none of them are “his name”.
I’ve had the name Jude picked out for a boy for a very long time, since my early teenage years. I love it, but it’s become ridiculously popular now. 🥲💔💔 This really puts me off using it!
We are loving the name Saul at the moment.
Can anyone give us some inspo for a middle name for Saul? Our surname is two-syllables and begins with L.

Just to give you hands up.
It’s so sad that children are not allowed in the screening room. My little one was so excited to see his sibling and ended up waiting outside with my husband. We kind of lost the special moment. We are planning to go private soon.
Thankfully baby is doing really great❤️
