Hi everyone! I’m 27y/o and I just found out that I am 5 weeks pregnant. Yay!
Like I’m sure is the case with many others, I don’t have the best support system.
So I am looking for other expecting mamas due during summer 2025 who are are down to support each other, share about our pregnancy journeys, and just be gal pals
Re: Looking for new summer 2025 mamas
I am 5 weeks +3
I’d love to have someone to chat with and share experiences!
i take my hat off to women going into physical jobs daily and dealing with pregnancy symptoms! This is so much tougher than what media makes it seem
I'm debating maybe at least telling my mom so I have someone to talk to about it, but letting her know it's early so we're not sharing with anyone else. She had a tendency to pour me a glass of wine when I come over, so I've already warned my husband he may have to drink it for me at Thanksgiving if we don't tell her before!
To manage this sensitivity, try these strategies:
1. Avoid Triggers: If certain places or odors make you feel nauseous, do your best to avoid them for now.
2. Fresh Air: Spend time outdoors or in well-ventilated areas to help alleviate feelings of nausea.
3. Ginger or Peppermint: These natural remedies can be very effective for combating nausea. Try ginger tea or peppermint candies.
4. Stay Hydrated & Eat Small Meals: Keeping your stomach settled with small, frequent meals and plenty of fluids can also help.
If symptoms persist or worsen, consider discussing them with your healthcare provider for tailored advice and reassurance. Remember, you're not alone in this—many people experience similar challenges during pregnancy!
