8 weeks & super sick

I am 8 weeks with my second baby. I am super nauseous. I’ve been prescribed zofran and it has helped some but I’m still sick. This pregnancy is really draining. I’m sooooo tired of being sick. Idk what to do.

Pregnancy and BV

I am 34 weeks pregnant. Back in November I got results that I was positive for BV. Since I always feel awful taking antibiotics and had 0 symptoms, I decided I would try a more natural route first (probiotics, oil of oregano supplement and garlic supplement). In February I asked the doc to check again for me just to...

Any tips for natural remedies for gastroenteritis/vomitting & diarrhoea?

I've not slept since Thursday my 3 kids have passed it around and tonight my 3rd is symptomatic. I'm feeling like my turn is around the corner, I'm a single mom, no car, living in a hostel, need to do a food shop, can't receive deliveries. I'm just empty at this point and fearful my intrusive thoughts may win

When to start feeling movement?

I am 15 weeks with the second and my ultrasound tech said I have a posterior placenta which should mean I feel movement sooner. I don’t think I’ve felt any movement yet, definitely no consistant movement. When did y’all start feeling movements?

Burglary

Has anyone else ever experienced similar…? We had our contents of our car emptied and stolen a couple of nights ago. Ever since I’ve not been able to sleep, or calm! I can’t help but think of the worse and what could happen if it happens again. I don’t feel safe in my own home and want to protect my babies!

Complete and utter exhaustion!

Hi ladies, is anybody else finding the third trimester absolutely exhausting? I woke at 9am after a 13 hour sleep, back to bed at 11. Woke at 1:30pm, back to bed at 4:30 and have just woken again. No matter the rest I have I am seemingly tired like I’ve never been tired before!

Anyone having problems with near-fainting/vomiting episodes?

Hey all! due end of June - I was at the hair salon the other day and I suddenly went very warm even though the room was apparently cold and I needed to take my jumper off. I felt super nauseous and my hearing went funny, like I was going to pass out. That sensation passed and I felt fine again, but then it returned ...

Blocked tear duct

Has anyone’s LO struggled with a blocked tear duct? Our 1 week old has a bit of a watery eye which is sticking together after she cries. I am confident it’s not conjunctivitis as there’s no colour to it and her eye is not red. From researching I believe she has a blocked tear duct and we have been using cold boiled ...
