Why when you quote does it now show what I wrote? @Janch13 I said, I am, freezing cold and I live in Queensland, Australia 😂

Flowersflowers121 · 24/09/2022 17:47

Hiiii everyone.

I've just had my midwife call with my blood work results and turns out I'm rhesus negative, so I'm feeling a little anxious about all that as well now. Eek.

Does anyone know anyone who's got experience with this? I need extra bloods and then potentially injections depending on the baby's blood type

@Flowersflowers121 I'm negative too so I feel your pain. Shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as you get the injection 😀

I remember telling my doctor before TTC and she was so unbothered by it 😂

Is anyone else finding themselves absolutely ravenous? I’ve had nausea, although less so the last 2 days, and I have been sooo hungry.

I’ve definitely eaten and drank enough, and nutritious food, cos I’m tracking it all on My Fitness Pal, though I’m a veggie so I could perhaps up my protein with a shake or something.

Obviously I don’t want to start “eating for two” as it’s not necessary, but I’m going to need something before I go to bed, even though I had a huge bowl of vegan chilli for tea!

TheBeesKnee · 25/09/2022 23:16

@raffika I'm not more hungry, but when I am hungry I'm absolutely famished and you'd think I hadn't eaten in weeks 😅

calipoppy · 26/09/2022 07:07

@raffika yes my appetite always increases straight away, and stays that way for the whole pregnancy! Personally the nhs guidance really annoys me as clearly we need more food or we wouldn't be so hungry. Last pregnancy I ate whenever I was hungry and I stayed well within the guidelines for weight gain. I say have a second dinner if you feel like you need it! You're building a baby and a placenta after all 😂

girlboss94 · 26/09/2022 08:14

Anyone else feel really nauseous when their stomach isn't full? Every time I get a tiny bit hungry I feel really ill and I have to keep eating so I don't get to that stage. So annoying but I'm constantly snacking

IWillBeWaxingAnOwl · 26/09/2022 08:28

Yup yup @girlboss94 - not quite the same but if I get hungry, I feel really sick. Means first thing in morning and in bed at night I feel really sick!

Janch13 · 26/09/2022 09:07

6+5 today and the nausea has kicked in. I was worried that I’d been feeling fine with barely any symptoms so far but there’s no denying this blurgh feeling this morning.

Laura993 · 26/09/2022 09:18

I feel exactly the same, if I am hungry I mean I am hungry and sometimes due to the nausea I feel like I can’t face food at all! the nausea is becoming a bit unbearable at times.

I did have my first scan and they dated me a couple of days behind but the scan went so well. We saw a clear embryo, yolk sac and a flickering heartbeat it was such an amazing feeling! ❤️

wonderfulworld33 · 26/09/2022 09:25

Morning all I am suffering the same - it is like a hungry sickness but I generally can't face much food! It is worse around 4am... does anyone have any suggestions?
I am 6weeks5days and already this feels like a lot 😔

MRSE20 · 26/09/2022 09:42

I’m 7 weeks + 4 days today and struggling with nausea that lasts all day
I am eating and drinking in small amounts and so far no vomiting
Finding it so hard to work and do daily activities

bellaolive · 26/09/2022 09:52

Hi all, so comforting to hear how many of you are ravenous and then nauseous when hungry! I'm 8w3d and the constant feeling of hunger, nausea and tiredness is wearing me out! Also could be because I have a 3yo keeping me busy this pregnancy too... 😅😅😅

Becca071996 · 26/09/2022 10:03

Hi all - just found this group and would love to join! I am 5+5 today and have been feeling sick all last week but this morning I was actually sick - feels better to get it up rather then feel sick all day! Can't believe I'm getting this sickness this early Confused totally lost my appetite lately too, only food I want is fruit (could be worse lol)

Bananabreakfast123 · 26/09/2022 11:05

Hi all. I'm 8+3 right now and have 24/7 nausea, particularly bad in the evening and overnight. Eating little and often but sticking to plain things like tea biscuits and cream cheese sandwiches. Anything greasy at all is a no go. I've not been sick but the nausea is so bad it's stopping me from doing quite a lot so managed to get an anti-sickness prescription from the GP and so far it seems to be helping, thank goodness.

Janch13 · 26/09/2022 11:38

@Bananabreakfast123 are you in the UK? Do you mind sharing the name of your prescribed medication for sickness? I would like to ask my GP for this. Thanks!

Janch13 · 26/09/2022 11:39

@bellaolive I also have a 3yo who likes jumping on me and being carried everywhere 😫

Bananabreakfast123 · 26/09/2022 11:42

@Janch13 yes UK. The prescription is prochlorperazine. It hasn't taken the nausea away completely but I'm finding it's far less severe so I'm getting a bit of relief and can go about my day as normal.

i83 · 26/09/2022 12:14

@Flowersflowers121 my sister has the same blood type as you and was absolutely fine with both her pregnancies. Her boys are now 16 and 10.
She did have to have a couple of injections but overall, everything was fine.
I know anything slightly different, automatically makes us worry like mad though so just make sure you get all the information you need from your doctor and midwife. They are there to help.

I’m 9 weeks today, although had a scan on Saturday and was measuring 8 weeks and 1 day then.

The nausea is a nightmare!! I’m really struggling to do much at all.

I think I might call the doctors this afternoon.

raffika · 26/09/2022 12:21

Thanks ladies, I’m so glad it isn’t just me that’s permanently ravenous, and then feeling sick when getting hungry. I was at a wedding on Saturday, and I was hovering round waiting for the evening food when most of the other day guests were too stuffed to think about more food 🙈

Btw if anyone is suffering from sluggish digestion, I’ve found All Bran (or store brand alternative) helps! It’s not the tastiest cereal but I’ll put up with it to feel comfortable!

MRSE20 · 26/09/2022 12:34

I’m tempted to ask my employer to change my hours so I start an hour or so later due to bad sickness which is worse in the morning
Just wondering if any of you have done this before?

IWillBeWaxingAnOwl · 26/09/2022 12:48

@wonderfulworld33 I suggest plain oatcakes, kept by the bed!

@raffika currently out with in laws for a pre lunch walk, trying to pretend I don't feel super sick!

Flowersflowers121 · 26/09/2022 14:33

Thanks all for your advice :) feeling less anxious about it all now, thankfully! I'm sure it'll all be fine!

Also super nauseous when I have an empty stomach. Its a nightmare haha I'm also in the UK and was prescribed Phenergan for my sickness. Hasn't entirely helped, although I haven't physically thrown up since having it and was doing that at least twice a day before!

Hope everyone's doing well otherwise :) got the date for our 12 week scan now, 18th Oct :)

I've been feeling a bit anxious the past couple of days. Pregnancy symptoms don't seem as full on. Still have a bit of nausea and sore boobs but not as bad as it was. I'm 7+3. Had a scan at 6 weeks exactly and there was a tiny heartbeat but I'm now so worried. Have booked another scan for Thursday evening. Something just doesn't feel right but can't put my finger on it. Haven't had pain or bleeding but had a MMC so possibly just anxiety driven.

BabyGally22 · 27/09/2022 12:34

Hi everyone, nervously joining thread after like so many had Mc in march.. second round of ivf and 6 weeks today.
