Morning sickness - packed lunch suggestions please

Hi All!
Hope you are all well
I am only 7 weeks but have what feels like constant nausea! I have recently started on some medication which has helped to curve it a little, as well as acupuncture. As of next week, I will be working onsite and am pretty nervous about how I will manage things... I would love some suggestions on lunch box type/snack ideas that you may have found helpful
Thank you so much in advance, so grateful to have found a community where I can reach out and connect, especially since I am feeling so crappy

I have found ginger ale is a life saver, and just carbs in general. But most importantly I think eat what your body is telling you. I tried keeping healthy and eating vegetables when I felt like that but they just came straight back up

Fruit salad, peanut butter/hummus with pretzels, chicken salad with crackers and mini veggie platter with ranch if you have the appetite! Fruit was such a life saver for me in the first trimester and I could get protein from apples and pb

I was horrendously sick from week 6-14 but don’t panic EVERYONE is different and it does ease! I’m on week 22 and I’d do it again in a heartbeat after feeling my little man move! That being said, I kept a bag of mint imperials with me at all times. Not a lunch time snack but I’d gone off all other food. Also I’d advise against buying in bulk as something you fancy this week may not agree with you next week. Just remember - it’s all worth it ❤️

I use to eat a lot of fruit and cracks in the beginning because I couldn’t eat anything else i was super bad and was always throwing up . One time I had to leave the bus to throw up it was the worst. Always make sure you drinking a lot of water as well

Would you take your almost 4 yr old to a birthday party at an indoor play place during spring break, with a 10 week old baby?

I know it will be crowded as heck since it’s during spring break. I’ll be holding my 10 week old the whole time but nervous that we might get sick from being inside with all those people for so long

Group B Strep positive labor and baby

Hi,
First time mom to be here, currently around 37 weeks.
Can anyone please share their experience of labor and how was the baby health in the first weeks, months when tested positive for GBS and receiving antibiotics during labor?
I was blessed to not have any serious complications during whole pregnancy and was really looking forward to unmedicated easy-ish birth hopefully and healthy baby but now is concerned about me being able to stay mobile during labor and having side effects for antibiotics, and for baby to have microbiome negative affects due to antibiotics taken..
Any insights or experience would be helpful.

Pushchairs

Out of curiosity, have we turned babies forward facing in their push chairs yet? I’ve kept her facing me as I’d rather see her 😅 I assume it doesn’t matter either way? (7 months on the 8th)

Hormone drip

I’m being induced on Wednesday, with my first baby I was induced but I can’t remember if I had the hormone drip as I was so out of it from gas and air and pethidine.

Can I refuse it this time? As I’ve heard it makes contractions more painful, or can I say if I do need the hormone drip, I will need an epidural can the 2 coincide?
