Re: 1st tri FAQs
LFAF Summer 2016 Awards:
If you are bleeding or cramping it could be a couple different things.
1. Normal
2. A miscarriage. Only an OB can confirm this, we cannot. Please do not rush to the ER or UC for this. Keep an eye on it, and call your OB and make an appointment to go in.
if it is a m/c we are sorry. It sucks. But know it wasn't your fault and there isn't anything anyone can do to stop it.
**SIde Note- the only time it is appropriate to visit an ER for this is if you are soaking through a pad an hour.

F15 December Siggy Challenge:
- constantly keeping small meals in your stomach.
- anything ginger.
- a diet high in protein.
Everyone has their special cure. Some may work really well. Some may not. In some cases, nothing works. If you feel like you are vomiting excessively within a 24 hour period and cannot keep anything down, please CALL YOUR OB! Dehydration is serious!
Your OB can:
- prescribe you anti nausea medication to help control your vomiting/nausea.
- provide you with additional tips on what to eat or drink when and if you can.
- provide you with better access and care through a hospital.
As far as when your morning sickness will end, there is no magical date. Some find it will diminish when 2nd tri starts and others can go straight up through delivery. It can disappear for weeks and suddenly return later with a vengeance.
Best wishes!
My boobs never really got bigger (sad face), but for some people that starts in 1st tri. For me, I started showing where I could notice it around 14 weeks and where strangers could notice it around 24 weeks, but everyone is different with that too.
The best thing to do is to talk with your psychiatrist/pschologist and truely evaluate where you are in terms of your mental health. Have you been stable for a long time or have you had ups and downs? If its the latter, than your doctor may suggest taking one of the approved medications during pregnancy. If you have nee stable then he may start you on a ween and see how you do on lower dosages. Explore your options, but if you are planning on TTC, have a game plan in place so that your not forced into a decision after you find out that you are pregnant.
Preach! I'm in total agreement and wish there was a forum for people who were kind and got thoughtful and respectful comments in return, not full of snark and attitude. I don't enjoy reading a post where someone gets publicly shamed for asking a question. Tired of jerkfaces running this place.

Most of the stupid questions and the snark/sarcasm that follows them would be avoided 90% of the time if newbies like yourself would a) exercise some common sense, and b) pick up a pregnancy book to read instead of running to the interwebz for instant gratification.
I agree this post is helpful. I was just stating that when any "new" person joins and ask a question it... omg could we answer this one more time today? Everyone has questions and we dont deserve to be told were stupid. We all come here for advice and to me it seems like no one wants to answer a question nicely. I just felt that people would read this post and people needed to know that the newer girls feel pushed away.
shortnatie, thank you for finally saying it. I've been one of those people who comes on to these threads to ask questions that I know I can find else where. Sometimes a girl just needs someone to tell her what she already knows. I understand that everyone who has been on here for a while doesn't want to answer the same question over and over again when the answer is obvious, but when you snap at a newbie like that it makes us hesitant to come onto these threads in the future. Everyone needs support, and sometimes we need to ask stupid questions to get the obvious answer to make it more secure in our mind.
Thanks again shortnatie! I'm with ya!

But I vote leave.

For me, I am expecting my first child if all goes well April 2015. I am 7 weeks along and can't seem to find anything to ease my nauseousness. I spend a lot of time if I'm not working laying down. Does anyone else feel like this?
2) If you are concerned about whether your baby is developing fine or if you are miscarrying (e.g., because you are bleeding, you lost symptoms, or just because you are a worrywart), do not POAS! It does not tell you anything. HPTs detect low levels of bHCG (that you have around 9-14dpo), and one you reach about 5 weeks or so, your HCG is so high that even if your pregnancy was not viable or development was slow, the test would keep showing positive. HCG also takes about 2 days to drop by half, so by the time you get a negative test you would already have other, more clear indications that you lost.
