@stressopalka try some extra water and walk around a bit- it could help. I know changing positions definitely helps later on for cramps but I can’t remember this early.
So I bought this fancy pants breakfast shake stuff because it’s supposed to be amazing for baby - blah blah blah.... it’s the first thing I’ve had an aversion to of course 😅
@stressopalka spoke with my obgyn today, he said it sounds normal, but just to be on the safe side we are doing another blood test tomorrow and my first ultrasound is on Friday.
Hi ladies. I haven’t slept in days, and I’m desperate. I’m 6w today. I am literally sleeping a few hours a night, if that. Is anyone else suffering from this horrible insomnia? I don’t know how much longer I can keep going on no sleep.
@stressopalka I also get the pregnancy insomnia. I think last time it kicked in around 6 weeks so I'm trying to soak up as much asleep as I can right now. It's the worst! You're beyond exhausted and so desperate. I hope you get some sleep soon.
@KFrob were you able to take anything for it or they won’t allow it? I’m so desperate. I didn’t fall asleep last night. 😩 Did you ever experience completely sleepless nights?
@stressopalka ummm mine starts in the second trimester so I’m not sure but you can message your doc on MyChart or call them. Just try and take it easy- I find it easier to sleep during the day when I have insomnia or maybe try some tea or a bath- something to relax 😊
@stressopalka I never went completely sleepless. I would fall asleep, and then wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to fall back to sleep. I never asked about taking anything, I just suffered through it. To add to what @daisy0322 said also try getting some exercise and that might help.
@daisy0322 I called my doctor and he approved Benadryl and Melatonin at 6w. I’m going to try to take the least amount possible, but I feel like I’m going to lose my mind if I don’t get some sleep. I’m just going to trust that everything will be okay. 🙏🏼
Well, the food aversions are starting. I made one of my most common dinners tonight - pesto pasta with Italian sausage - and after a few bites I was totally grossed out. I still feel terrible.
I tried to eat cottage cheese the other day and it tasted like metal to me. So much that I had to spit it out. I'm hitting the point where I need the nausea to come on to ease my anxiety. I get a little bit here and there but I need to feel miserable to know things are okay.
@KFrob i need nausea to come too with my boys I was so sick by now. It makes me nervous my boi s hurt though and normally that doesn’t happen for me until later. Everyone I’ve told so far just keeps telling me this one must be a girl don’t worry lol
@daisy0322 I keep going back to my past BMB posts to see the timing of my symptoms. I know I need to wait until 6 weeks and then I will feel gross haha
Holy morning sickness - I had a few waves of mild nausea yesterday then today I got hit by the Mac truck of morning sickness. DS1 needs to get ready for preschool and DS2 has tumble bunnies (baby gymnastics class) today. I’m hoping we make it.
Morning sickness hit with a vengeance just now. I don’t know what I’m going to do to keep it at bay. I take my meds in the morning and they can’t be taken with food for an hour , or any vitamins for at least 4 hours. But I also can’t throw them up. I’ll have to call my endocrinologist and see what their suggestion is because crackers aren’t on the table haha.
Re: Weekly Symptoms Thread 10/4-10/10
@KFrob That happened to me during my last pregnancy every time I brushed my teeth. Hasn't started yet.
Anyone else having crazy dreams?
My nausea comes and goes. Mainly, it is just a all day sick to my stomach feeling.
