Is anyone else scared and always sick

Do you know any other mums? Speak to them about the joys of motherhood ❤️ it is scary and hard but also the most amazing thing. I'm scared and excited in equal measure but staying positive and calm is important. You can be prepared but also trust your intuition will know what to do x

I don't know any mom who isn't/wasn't scared shitless! Seconding the recommendation to make mom friends -- it really helps to surround yourself with people who have been there. As for sickness, yes, I'm currently dealing with hyperemesis gravidarum at 31w4d. It's been nonstop since I hit 5 weeks and really affecting my mental health and quality of life. Don't be afraid to ask for medication – I waited way too long to finally ask and I shouldn't have. I'm actually starting on a new medication tomorrow because the first one I tried was hit or miss and I'm so excited to find some more consistent relief. Also, frozen grapes are a great nausea snack, in my experience. You can even put them in ginger ale to use as ice cubes!
