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.

How can something so small cause you to feel so crap 😫

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 🤔

@SmartiesParty it's permanent! Unless I'm just bloated all day every day I think it might be here to stay 😅

@Mummapenguin20 yes exactly the same as me! I went into the office yesterday (normally work from home) and I swear people were looking at my stomach 🤦🏼‍♀️

I went in for my blood test and they're saying that since I measured a little early on my last scan they're rescheduling everything so I have to go back for the blood test on the 8th instead and the scan a different time but they have no appointments so they don't know when I can get a scan now.

Mangotango39 · 02/08/2023 12:26

I keep waking up about 2am then awake till 4/5am - nightmare when already so tired.
Last night I slept well but still exhausted all day!!!

Afternoons are such a slog

MummyTo4BoysXXXX · 02/08/2023 12:47

Has anyone been suffering with pains in their lower legs like almost you have to keep moving your legs or wiggling your feet to try to make the pain stop? If I'm right in thinking is it called restless leg syndrome? as I'm sure I'm suffering with that especially on a night!

OP posts:

Goblet93 · 02/08/2023 13:21

@MummyTo4BoysXXXX I’m getting restless legs too, some nights I just can’t seem to get comfortable. I’m sure I didn’t have this in my first pregnancy, but then again I guess we had more room in bed the first time round 😂

Cxjai792 · 02/08/2023 14:50

@MummyTo4BoysXXXX i get that too. I’ve had it with all my pregnancies and it seems to start earlier in each one. It was so bad in my last one that I was getting about 2 hours sleep a night! I’m dreading it now

SmartiesParty · 02/08/2023 15:59

@MummyTo4BoysXXXX I get it too I've taken to moving to the spare room to not disturb my husband

Is anyone else worried about not showing or really looking any different? I'm 14w (first baby to get to this stage) but aside from being a bit thicker you wouldn't know and because I wasn't that large to start with I literally look normal. I had really bad bloating for weeks at the beginning which has subsided now but it slightly worries me about the baby's growth

Sunshineclouds11 · 02/08/2023 16:03

@SmartiesParty I didn't start showing until 23/24 weeks with my first.

I'm showing at 12 weeks now with my second it's crazy

SmartiesParty · 02/08/2023 16:05

@Sunshineclouds11 when you say didn't start showing do you literally mean you looked the same?

Sunshineclouds11 · 02/08/2023 16:07

SmartiesParty · 02/08/2023 16:05

@Sunshineclouds11 when you say didn't start showing do you literally mean you looked the same?

Yeah. Would never have known I was preg looking at me

sherbertlemon17 · 02/08/2023 16:42

Wow, so many of you with less then 2 year age gaps!

@User0224 Honestly, it was hard at first whilst we were getting in to our groove, especially with breastfeeding/cluster feeding, but after a few months, it gets much easier! I didn’t sleep for a few years though 😅 Now they are 6 & 7 and they bicker, but they are in to similar things, share a lot of friends and play really well together. I hope they’ll always be this close 💜

mumtotwox · 02/08/2023 17:09

@sherbertlemon17 I currently have a just turned 3 year old and just turned 1 year old so this will be another small gap 😊🥰

DmcinT · 02/08/2023 17:48

I was waking abt 4/5am there every night for about 2.5 weeks, I had to get up and eat and I’d be wide awake so would end up not going back to bed until 7/8am, it was torturous. The last 3 nights I’ve started sleeping through again, I’m nearly afraid to jinx it but really hope that’s the end of it, I’d feel groggy all day then after it.

i found drinking lots of water helped with the restless legs incase that helps anyone else ❤️

im on steroids at the min (I’ve asthma) and they are kicking my ass, I’m completely wiped out from them and reduced levels of oxygen 🙈 really hoping trimester 2 is kinder to me 😅 that’s when we get a boost of energy and a magnificent glow right??? Lol

Aww I love it! Tbh my first is such a shit sleeper even to this day, I feel like I just want to get the sleepless nights/years out the way as quick as I can 😂 so lovely that your two are the best of friends x

Gardenfingers23 · 02/08/2023 18:40

So great to hear about everyone’s scans!!

is anyone else still feeling really nauseous at 11w? I’ve felt a bit quesy in an evening from about 7.5w but since 9w it’s really ramped up and I now feel it most of the day. Any tips? I’m still managing to eat, ironically I feel ok when eating but before/after go back to feeling pretty gross. So hoping it improves next week!!!

Meeting · 02/08/2023 18:49

@Gardenfingers23 I'm 13w tomorrow and I was exactly the same as you up until a week ago so it definitely does wear off eventually (for most people). I found that the only things that helped me was snacking or sipping something fizzy x

anony1111 · 02/08/2023 18:54

@Gardenfingers23 I'm 12 weeks today and nausea is still in full force! That's with anti sickness meds also. Hoping to see some improvement soon :( never had it this bad with my 1st

Gardenfingers23 · 02/08/2023 19:05

@Meeting reassuring yours got better by 13w, read somewhere it can subside 16-20w but can’t imagine going on that long!!

Im normally massively into icecream and chocolate but can’t touch the stuff since 7w, guess a good thing to drop!! Weird that you found fizzy drinks helped, I’ve been the opposite, anything with sweetener, so squash or fizzy drinks make me feel worse.

Cheetocat · 02/08/2023 19:16

User0224 · 02/08/2023 18:07

Show quote history

Yeah, something similar to NIPT, I'm not in UK so it's a little different, basically that though. I'm really disappointed because I am having extreme anxiety at the moment and those appointments being set were the only thing helping me relax and not worry so much. Now it's just unknown when I'll get to see baby again.

Musicalitymum · 02/08/2023 19:24

I’ve been feeling much better for a fortnight. 12 weeks this Friday. The flat peaches make me feel better if I’m queezy.

Cheetocat · 02/08/2023 19:37

I'm so thirsty and nothing quenches it, I can only drink water if it's ice cold so I'm going through bags of ice like mad. I've also been craving fruit juice and drinking a lot of it but I feel so guilty about the amount of sugar in it. I drank 3.5 litres of juice between Sunday and Tuesday, I feel like my teeth are gonna fall out if I do that again.

Gardenfingers23 · 02/08/2023 19:44

@Cheetocat I know exactly what you mean about ice cold water and juice, can’t get enough orange juice and fruit generally!

Meeting · 02/08/2023 20:27

Omg @Cheetocat I'm so glad you've said that because I wasn't sure if it was just me going crazy! I'm literally drinking so much water and juice and still constantly thirsty. And mine also has to be ice cold!

sherbertlemon17 · 02/08/2023 20:42

Oh @Musicalitymum I’m craving peaches so bad! Between me and the kids we’re getting through about 3 punnets a week 🤤

Mangotango39 · 02/08/2023 20:49

Oh yes I can't seem to clench my thirst. Drinking so much water with ice!

also 12 weeks Friday and I have still not had any sickness and the very small occasions of even feeling sick that never lasted long. I got
worried at first it's a bad sign but obviously my scans showed everything was there. Now Feeling incredibly lucky 😯some of you poor
loves are really suffering it must be awful x
