Questions? Has anyone tried Unisom? And did it help?

How are you feeling? Nausea has finally kicked in, bloated, tired, all the usual 1st trimester stuff

What food are you currently craving? French fries!

Due date: 4/2

Any appointments? Nothing until Mid September now.

Questions? None. I did try Unisom but it made me so tired I couldn't handle it.

How are you feeling? So much nausea. I am just putting my head down and trying desperately to make it through. Six weeks to go!

What food are you currently craving? Nothing. Everything sounds awful.

@gollygeeitsamy Awww! I'm so happy to hear the good news about your scan! That must be so reassuring. I haven't tried Unisom.

Due date: 4/1
Any appointments? First appointment on 8/30. Still anxious for that first US! I had my first teeth cleaning 7/25 and got my monthly allergy shots adjusted last week, sooo some of my medical care is changing.
Questions? Nope.
How are you feeling? I'm right there with you on the nausea, bloating, fatigue. @gollygeeitsamy In fact, I just couldn't get to work on Thursday. I probably could have done my normal job but we had all these important people coming in, and I just knew I wouldn't effectively do my normal song and dance.
What food are you currently craving? Oranges!

How are you feeling? Wiped, as in super exhausted even after 9 hours of night sleep, queasy at times especially when I haven't had anything to eat, mild cramping

What food are you currently craving? Anything sour, like fruit with lime juice and chili powder. Definitely had a breakdown yesterday because I really wanted kimchi in my fries, but fixed that today with kimchi stew.

I'm taking b6 and unisom. Not really working :-/

socks2819 · August 2018

@csealyn I had a csection last time and I was told I could book my csection date several months in advance if I wanted to. I think rule of thumb is to have a scheduled date before your due date, but I'm not sure. I am hoping for a VBAC this time around. P.S. I LOVE Lucky Charms.

Due date: 4/6 ish

Any appointments? First appointment is 8/28 and I can't wait!

Questions? Anyone take anything to help with constipation (see below)? Has it helped?

How are you feeling? I am so out of breath from seemingly simple things like walking up the stairs. I am feeling really winded when working out now. And I am SO CONSTIPATED. My normal bad digestion is just 10 times worse with pregnancy. I also seriously look 3 months pregnant. I get this is my third rodeo but my body is in no mood to hide what is happening in there.

What food are you currently craving? Junk - all of it!

gollygeeitsamy · August 2018

@socks2819 the only thing that really works for me is Raisin Bran daily and a warm cup of prune juice as needed. The prune juice works every time for me.

socks2819 · August 2018

Thanks @gollygeeitsamy I think that is next on the list to try!

mels823 · August 2018

Due date: 4/2

Any appointments? Not this week! Had one last week. Saw a quick little heartbeat so I was a happy camper! Normally she wouldn't have checked but i mentioned that I was having major anxiety over everything.

Questions? Hmmm not that I can think of!

How are you feeling? Sick as a dog and SO SO SO tired. I do not remember ever feeling this tired during other pregnancies. But then again, I wasn't chasing two toddlers back then!

What food are you currently craving? Pancakes. All day, every day. Pancakes.

aqualicious · August 2018

I have a question- is peeling skin a normal thing with pregnancy? I just had a pedicure and the skin on the bottom of one foot is peeling like crazy all of a sudden.

BarefootContessa · August 2018

@socks2819 I hear Miralax is safe for occasional use in pregnancy. I have take it twice and it's very helpful.

gollygeeitsamy · August 2018

@aqualicious I think dry skin is normal due to needing more water and hormonal changes but not real sure about peeling skin but I think it's probably connected if you've never had that before

csealyn · August 2018

@socks2819 I’ve had 2 csections already but I always went a week before my due date but I really want to have this baby on my actual due date which is April fools day I’ll definitely check with my doctor and see what he suggest!

mrstmoose · August 2018

@csealyn - I had a c-section with DD1 and most likely, will have a RCS with this baby (unless doctor is completely on board with VBAC. I'm not changing OB's!). I think he prefers to schedule a few days to a week before the due date, but definitely talk to your doctor to see what he/she prefers.

csealyn · August 2018

@mrstmoose I will ask him I’m thinking I’ll be induced at 39 weeks which is March 25th but I would love to go to my due date!

lyse01 · August 2018

Due date: 4/4

Any appointments? Mine got cancelled this week when they checked my insurance and said “oh, we don’t work with this anymore.” Ugh. Soooo hopefully soon as I try to switch OBs?

Questions? Nah, I’m feeling super laid-back.

How are you feeling? Occasional nausea but mostly fatigue. I fall into bed like an hour and a half earlier than normal.

What food are you currently craving? Literally anything I can eat in peace without DD demanding some. I’m currently eating take out Chinese at the take out restaurant’s token table for people waiting for their food, because DD exhausted me so much today that I passed her off to her father and hid.
