Oh God... I either have a tummy bug or this baby is making my bowels work extra fast!

I've been having the poops since I found out at week 3. They're mostly at night and not every night and definitely exacerbated by eating wheat, but my god it feels like my bowels are dying sometimes I hope this goes in tri 2...

Sorry to hear your feeling so bad firstfreakout. I had a really bad experiance after my 1st birth. My son and I where really sick and i nearly died the midwifes refused to believe my waters had gone and Riley was born over 72 after they went.
My 2nd was much better we moved about a months before baby was due and thankfully that ment a new hospital as i dont think i could cope going back to the same one.

I'm so sorry to hear you had such an awful experience too I just don't understand midwives' inability to listen to mothers sometimes.
I've referred to a different hospital too and after telling them what happened after my first labour I'm pretty sure they won't drop the ball like that!

I hope you have a better experience this time

So, my nausea is officially taking over my life! I’m trying to snack on fruit etc throughout the day, but it’s not massively helping, still feeling very nauseous. Was thinking of trying ginger biscuits as Iv heard ginger helps with nausea, anyone tried it and had any positive experience with it??? Or any other tips??
Thanks xxxx

 

[keeptrying14]

No tips at all but I completely sympathise my nausea has been going strong since 6 weeks I’m now 8 and feel like I’ve had it two months rather than two weeks!! If you find anything that helps let me know! Also who invented sickness with pregnancy I mean y??? Why couldn’t it be something a little more bearable than nausea and vomiting. I swear if men had to do this we would be extinct by now !!

 

[firstfreakout]

I've heard so many good things about ginger. Basically as long as it's got ginger root in it it's supposed to help with nausea. So ginger biscuits/ale/beer - just check the ingredients that it's not artificial!

Sorry you guys are feeling so crap.
I feel bad for having said I'd rather have morning sickness over this anger I'm battling with now...

eughhh its horrible isnt it I havent been sick, but feel nauseous everyday and almost just got used to it now, but i have found eating a dry cracker does knock it on the head for a bit. I did also buy some ginger biscuits, but i dont particularity them as it is, so they haven't been touched much

I have found food just generally see's to it temporarily, but it does soon come back. If its really bad, you can get some medication for it x

So who is finding out the sex and who is keeping it as a surprise?! We r going for surprise as we already have one of each so thought it would be nice this time xx

I sooooo wanted to keep it a surprise because we also have one of each the oh is against it 100% and paying for a private scan
So we will be finding out at about 15, 16 weeks depending on how fat I am at the time haha! (belly fat not bump)
Also it will give my autistic son time to get to grips with it if it's a girl too!

 

[ABC237]

Has anyone tried those sea sickness bands? I’ve been considering buying one but I’ve read mixed reviews. With the sickness, I find it’s worse if I am hungry so I try to keep eating even if I feel crap. Trying a new anti- sickness now as the cyclizine was making me far to drowsy so I couldn’t function.

I’m definitely finding out. Found out with both of my other girls just because I’m too impatient! My eldest daughter really wants a brother so I feel like I’ll need time to talk her round if it’s a girl!! Ha! I can’t wait to get to the exciting bits like scams!!

 

[keeptrying14]

I used them with my first pregnancy they were no miracle but helped a little hope the new meds helpxx

 

[Piglet30]

Today I feel like I have a massive hangover. Only managed to stomach 5 cream crackers and a magnum spaced over the day. The healthy eating can begin trimester 2.

Think we might find out the sex this time. We didn’t last time. I don’t mind not finding out but husband was overruled on that last time so he can have his way and find out this time.

 

[linxminx21]

Iv still got a dodgy tum so everything I eat is coming out within the hour.
I have stomach pain with it too all at the top of my tummy. I'm going to the drs tomorrow because I must be dehydrated.

 

[Aurora_J]

My sickness has kicked in now. No where near as bad as my last pregnancy even thinking about food made me sick. This time its more nausea and dizzyness but i have thrown up a few times, it seems to be if i get hungry though.
So far today i have had 2 punnets of grapes, 3 apples, 3 raw carrots, 6 kiwis and some blueberries. I seem to only want to eat fruit and veg.
