Has anyone tried vtamin B6 for their nausea?
Mine is not too bad at all today.. and I took my multi vitamin last night after dinner. Could be a coincidence. Has anyone else had any experience?

SmashyCup · 03/01/2018 10:48

@Emmasmum2013 I am taking vitamins but it hasn't helped my nausea. Glad you're feelimg better though!

@peterpanwendy I just called the doctor yesterday and explained I've been ill for a week, ginger/ peppermint etc not working and am having to stay off work and she sent a prescription to the pharmacy for DH to pick up for me. They just wanted a urine sample dropping to the surgery to check for dehydration but it didn't hold up the prescription.

ActualMermaid · 03/01/2018 11:33

Hi all! Hope everybody is well and managed to do lots of relaxing over the new year! Smile

I got a bit of a fright last night when I wiped and there was quite a bit of brown bloody discharge. I was in the toilets at ASDA and immediately started crying, though phone calls to mum and a quick google search told me it was very normal and since I wasn’t having pains and it wasn’t red blood then I shouldn’t panic. I went home and tried to rest and take my mind off of the worry and have not had any more since... No cramps at all, just the same little stretchy niggly pains that come and go which I’ve been having for a week or so now and are very mild.

Woke up today with lots of morning sickness though, which definitely makes me feel better about the whole thing! Plus I have my first midwife appointment tomorrow so I can ask her lots of questions.

Has anybody else had this?

milney25 · 03/01/2018 12:39

Hi @ActualMermaid quite a few of us have had this of and on. Definitely ask your midwife about it, but rest easy that it is often totally normal!

Aspergallus · 03/01/2018 12:41

I seem to have dropped off the list Confused

I've tried B6 Emmasmum2013 without much improvement. Wore seabands overnight and this morning was slightly better than yesterday, was able to brush my teeth without retching.

In vain hope of another solution I've ordered a little electric stimulator to wear on the pressure point sea bands use. It looks a fitness tracker type thing so won't raise as many questions at work, well except jokes about being on a NY fitness fad. It was £78 Shock so I'm both desperate and gullible.

butterfly86 · 03/01/2018 13:14

Well surprisingly everything was fine at my scan! Really thought it would be bad news, measuring right for dates by my last lmp I'd be 7 weeks today and measuring 6+5 which is fine as I have a longer cycle. There was a heartbeat too Smile the sonogropher said she could see no cause for the brown spotting so possibly just an implantation bleed. So it's just carry on as normal now which feels really strange as I had weekly scans in my last pregnancy. Hoping for good news for the others who have had bleeding and scans coming up.

Gizzymum · 03/01/2018 13:14

@Aspergallus what are your details and I'll add you back on.

Babydreaming · 03/01/2018 13:15

Sorry to hear about those suffering with morning sickness!

I’m not actually at the vomiting level, just more a low grade background nausea that makes me feel a bit crap! Was exactly the same with my sons pregnancy though so I guess I’ll just count myself lucky I’m not full on vomiting!

florafoxtrot · 03/01/2018 13:19

Hi Ladies, I'd like to join too if that's OK. This is my first pregnancy after 18 months TTC, a lot of fertility testing and an abandoned IUI treatment.

I'm 31 and EDD is 29th August.

I'm still in shock that I'm actually pregnant but getting a few symptoms which is reassuring - I was sick for the first time this morning, my boobs are still mega sore and I obviously had a weird dream last night as distantly remember shaking DH awake and telling him he had to "rub the stuff on his belly"...

Fingers crossed for everyone else having scans today. Just had my scan and all is thankfully ok. Measuring as 8+5. Actually 8+2 so that's fine. Feel so relieved.

milney25 · 03/01/2018 13:24

Yay that's amazing news @butterfly86!!

peterpanwendy · 03/01/2018 13:47

@SmashyCup I have my booking appt tomorrow and my friend said the midwife is allowed to say whether I need them and a doctor will then prescribe so I'm hoping to do that. I'm still feeling bad and it's almost 2 :(

So pleased for you @butterfly86!

WaitingforToto · 03/01/2018 13:54

Hi everyone!
Can I please join in? I’ll add myself to the bottom of the list below... I’m a first-timer too so it’s great to read all your reassuring chat - symptoms and no symptoms etc! I have a reassurance scan booked for this Sunday (Jan 7th) and my booking appointment on Jan 17th, just trying to focus on safely reaching each milestone at the moment xx

@butterfly86 eased a lot, the EPU suggested a scan, so I'm going in at 4pm.

butterfly86 · 03/01/2018 14:17

Can someone add me on please I can't do in on my phone! 31 dc2 due 24/8/18

CaffeineDragon · 03/01/2018 14:19

@butterfly86 @E2017 So relieved for you both. 🤞🏼 for everyone still worrying/getting reassurance scans.

Fatigue this time is insane. And feel like I have the worst permanent hangover. More lower back pain this time as well.

Hope all of you being properly ill are able to get some meds from the GP for some respite.

I'd answer more booking in questions but I can't remember - even though my DS is only 23 months! Shock

butterfly86 · 03/01/2018 14:43

@Milney25 that's promising that it's eased fingers crossed for your scan.
