Finally managed to speak with my doctor regarding nausea, he's prescribed me promethazine teoclate. Has anyone taken this for sickness/nausea?

Thank you ladies💕
I’m okay, but you know how it is when your so hormonal and really trying not to cry when someone’s being a dick!
Glad you’re okay, ugh yes know exactly what you mean. Good for you for going to hr, hopefully they’ll be all over it as it opens them up to a legal minefield if that behaviour continues!!

I’m 11 weeks tomorrow, last 2 weeks nausea hasn’t been as bad. I thought I’d sussed that as long as I didn’t let myself get too hungry I was okay. Today it’s back with a vengeance.

Does anyone else feel like they look really pregnant already? I'm 8w4d and i honestly feel I look about 6 months pregnant! It's my second but surely a bump doesn't come this early and it must all be bloat somehow even though it feels hard 🤔

@Kelb79 Hope you managed to get hold of someone. I’m on progesterone but I’m still on it so I’m afraid I can’t help.

Nemo145 · 19/08/2023 17:21

Also had my NIPT bloods today, scan looked ok and heard hb but now the wait for the results

Nemo145 · 19/08/2023 17:36

Feel like I can’t even see a nub to even try and guess. Those of you who used the nub queens, is it a private thing or can anyone on FB see it?

Anyone suffering really bad with heartburn? It's hit me so bad the last few days plus headaches . Really effecting me 😔

Hankthehonk · 19/08/2023 22:10

@Mangotango39 it hasn't hit me yet this time but it was my worst symptom in my first pregnancy. I was going through a bottle of gaviscon a week. Really hope I don't get it so bad this time and sending you sympathy, it's horrible!

Kelb79 · 19/08/2023 23:41

Thanks everyone 🙏🏼
I ended up calling the midwife triage number. I felt like I was overreacting a bit but I was getting myself in a state about it (I had an MC in 2021 after a tiny bleed so the paranoia is strong!)
the midwife was lovely and reassured me that brown is usually nothing that they worry about being old blood and just to monitor it and if it changes or gets worse to get straight in touch again. (Although I don’t entirely get that theory because surely even old blood was new blood at some point so something bled right?? 🤔🤔 is that just me??)
she said it’s a common side effect of coming off progesterone 👍🏼👍🏼

im feeling rough as hell still!! Evenings get me the worst! This eve has just been topped off nicely by stepping (barefoot!!) in cat diarrhoea 😩 straight to the porcelain throne for me!! 🤮🤮🤮

MrsW9 · 20/08/2023 00:13

@Kelb79 Good to hear it's not unusual in your situation, fingers crossed all stays well!

I'm not on progesterone but I've also been having very small amounts of bleeding along similar lines since Wednesday morning. I had my twelve week scan soon after and everything seemed OK, so I'm hoping it's just old blood finding its way out or something. It's quite anxiety-inducing though.

Cheetocat · 20/08/2023 10:28

I had a scare last night, feel free to skip out on reading it if you're not in the right head space. ❤️

I am 14+1 now, last night I went for a #2 and afterwards when I was washing my hands I felt a wet feeling, I had just started bleeding. I decided to wait and see how serious it was, rested for an hour and then fell asleep for an hour but it was still going. I went to the maternity emergency room and got checked out, the obstetrician did an emergency ultrasound but she found baby twirling around with a lovely heartbeat and couldn't see a source of bleeding. I'm just so confused. I was convinced it was all over. We got home at 3:30am. I just woke up and I'm still slowly bleeding. I hate it, I just want it to stop. My stomach was hurting last night and now I have the runs this morning, I'm wondering if maybe the prostaglandins with that could cause bleeding. I know it works the other way around during af when not pregnant.

Kelb79 · 20/08/2023 11:18

@Cheetocat oh bless you!! The fear is utterly crippling isn’t it ❤️❤️ I’m so pleased everything is ok with baby but I know how hard it is to keep the faith especially when you’re still bleeding. Big love xxxx

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 20/08/2023 11:55

@Cheetocat so sorry that sounds so stressful and upsetting and I'm glad everything is okay

Tilly18101 · 20/08/2023 12:14

@Cheetocat oh gosh so sorry you’ve had such a scare lovely - so so glad all ok with baby. Do keep in touch with your midwife if you are still concerned tho, you could always request a rescan tomorrow too, so you can set your mind at more rest? X

Cheetocat · 20/08/2023 12:27

Thank you all, I have an appointment with my gp and nurse on Wednesday so I'm hoping I can just hold out until then.

Mangotango39 · 20/08/2023 12:54

@Cheetocat you poor thing. I am still having spotting a few times a week and it stresses me out so much. I try to convince myself that soooooo much I happened in our bodies. Things are moving and being squished so occasional blood is just normal for some of us unfortunately. They are not finding a reason so have assume baby is all snug and it's something else as a side effect xxx

FrostedFlake · 20/08/2023 17:53

Has anyone experienced mild cramping and lower back pain for a few consecutive days?
Ive come off progesterone and I seem to have these symptoms now but not sure if it’s common. Back pain seems to be more of a third trimester symptom.

Kelb79 · 20/08/2023 18:43

@FrostedFlake yep, I’ve had a bit of cramping since coming off progesterone. I had brown discharge too so called midwife triage, she said nothing to worry about and that I could take paracetamol for the pain 👍🏼👍🏼

SJ89x · 20/08/2023 18:48

First post after watching for a while.
just sat here racking my brains whether I can make out a nub or thinking about the skull theory. What do you guys think?!
I was 13+1 at the scan. 14+5 today 🙂
very active baby so unsure if that has contributed to it being difficult to make out much. TIA x

Shrillwaffle · 20/08/2023 20:33

TW covers previous loss don’t read if you’re not in the right headspace ♥️

Oh ladies I’m really struggling every day I’m just more and more terrified something has/will happen to my baby I’m getting myself into a right mental emotional state :’( (brief history - previous MH issues anyway and lost last year at 23+5)
I don’t know what to do with myself how am I supposed to get through the next 5 months :’( would be grateful for any advice I feel like the only advice I get given is ‘try and stay positive’ but it’s hard because last time I did that and there was no sign nothing was wrong and bam life changed forever. I just keep thinking I cannot physically or mentally go through it again I don’t know how to make myself feel any better x

Un7breakable · 20/08/2023 20:54

@Shrillwaffle have you spoken to your midwife? There is a prinatal mh team who might be able to help.

Can you afford private reassurance scans?

Shrillwaffle · 20/08/2023 20:58

@Un7breakable Luckily I have a midwife appointment tomorrow my 16 week one, maybe that’s why I’m struggling more tonight I don’t know. And I did manage to chase up a perinatal psychology appointment which is this week too.

Callmemummynotmaaa · 20/08/2023 21:38

@Shrillwaffle just a message to say sending hugs. Hope the midwife and perinatal team are helpful.

possible TW for others: mentions my ways of getting through pregnancy post loss.

I’m due early Feb, and have also had late losses. For me, they have changed my experiences of pregnancy. I feel very lucky to have my kids (I’ve 3 year olds) but this is my 2nd pregnancy this year - and prob 10+ in the last few years. In truth, I’m not sure I ever “relax” into being pregnant. However, instead of trying to tell myself it will be ok. My keep myself going saying is ‘I’m pregnant for today’. Oddly; reminding myself that nothing I do will change the outcome helps - cos it makes worry pointless. We can’t prepare ourselves for loss, and even if we expect it, it still bloody hurts.

It’s ok to not feel better. It would be stranger from a human perspective to have a pregnancy where to had no worries/fear (as it wouldn’t match with your reality). Being scared when shit things happen is normal. So what I try to do is be kind to myself in the process. I don’t even try to “stay positive” - I write down my worries every day, but then try not to focus on them too much. As a person I like control and very little about the process of pregnancy is predictable. So I try to do a bit less, cut myself some slack, and remind myself of how strong I am to be getting through it for now. If that makes any sense?
