After 3 trips to L&D for dehydration in the first tri, they finally put me on a zofran pump, which didn't fix the problem but at least allowed me to function. I would also take a reglan at night to try and minimize the acid I threw up in the mo…

My doc explained to me that pseudoephedrine can cause some blood vessels to form incorrectly if taken during the first trimester, but that study hasn't been totally substantiated and the risk is only in the first trimester. He specifically suggeste…

I will be 20 wks on Friday and also still puke daily. Just be careful if you aren't keeping anything down! I was in the hospital 3 times in the first 3 months because when you can't stop puking, you can start throwing ketones in your urine because…

How dark is your pee? Sounds gross, but it should be clear or light yellow. If it looks more like applejuice, you are dehydrated!

Yes it is! I started feeling sporadic thumps here and there a few weeks ago...I still just feel the baby a couple times a day, sometimes not at all. Oh and I am pretty small build, so I think that helped my hubby feel the movement.

My hubby just felt our baby for the first time tonight...I am 18 wks and 3 days

Check target.com for cribsets! The one my hubby and I had been looking at was put on clearance this weekend and I got the 4 piece set (bumpers, sheet, bedskirt, and quilt) for 30 bucks! Half off! Just wanted to share.

Sour candies can help...preggie pops or preggie drops have vitamin B and zinc which are supposed to help. Try clear liquids first and if those stay down, try more. Usually if I could get something into my tummy, it got better. Sea band wrist band…

Don't be afraid to tell your doc if the zofran isn't helping enough! I was in the hospital 3 times in the first 2 months bc of severe hyperemesis (what you have is real and has its own name!). They finally put me on a zofran pump and I take reglan…

A coworker of mine who cloth diapered all three of his kids said rather than use a sprayer, they would just flush the toilet and use the clean water on the sides to wash off the big mess, then throw it in the bucket.

Honestly, food banks were designed to help out people who are down on their luck. That's all you are! Your hubby busts his butt searching for work, you cut the unnecessary bills, and still need a little help. No shame at all. Search for food ban…

Congrats! My hubby and I are due dec 16 as well!

I don't have any direct experience, but my mother was a teacher and had a student in elementary school who had a stroke in utero. He needed a little extra time to process but he was really smart! It may have slowed him down a little, but it didn't…

That usually means its time to get to work! This is the method my husband and I used and got preggo on the first try! Keep at it every day till u get back to normal. Baby dust!

If you are positive, you are ok. The bad situation is if the mother is negative and baby is positive. At birth, the baby and mother's blood might mix. A negative mom can develop antibodies against the positive baby. No risk for that baby, but if…

If you are positive, you have no worries. Its only an issue if the mother is negative (I am A-) and the baby's father is positive or unknown. Even in that case, they just give the mother a shot that prevents any future complications. My hubby is …

Haha good if that doesn't gross you out, google cervical mucus. I swear, its the most accurate way to determine when you ovulate and doesn't require you to buy anything like an ovulation kit! Best of luck!
-
@tryinghard19 it seems a little tmi, but pay attention to your moisture down there. We didn't track cervical mucus for months, but just paid a lil attention and stuck a pillow under my hips after trying. Worked like a charm. Good luck and sending…

It was our first month trying! We figured it would take a few months so we could start even though I had a 13.1 mile road race april 3rd. I ran the half marathon and found out 3 days later we were pregnant! Sticky baby I suppose!
-
My mom just sent me a pair since my hyperemesis is out of control even with the zofran pump. Today is the first day, but I will let you know how it works!
-
@blueberrysmom I would wake up every hour on the hour starting at 4am. The problem is when you can't eat, your body starts starving and throwing ketones in your urine. I felt like such a wuss for complaining until my doctor explained that this is …

There are a million ideas out there, but here are a few... Eat crackers and sip some water before getting out of bed Try sucking on peppermints Eat ice chips BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) Avoid greasy or spicy foods Accupressure wrist…
-
How far along are you? My "all day" sickness started at 7 weeks and got so relentless I ended up on a zofran pump! When you get nausea, try to lay down and eat ice chips. As you feel better, slowly start eating. My nurses said BRAT die…

@PROUD_MOMMY I am with you for less than 3 months! I am back at the womens pavillion again. Lost 5 pounds in 6 days! They are trying to get me approved for a zofran pump. If you are still having trouble, def ask your doc about it! Here's prayin…
-
I agree with you all about needing a remedy! Zofran didn't help at all and phenergan just knocks me out. My body was literally starving itself so I spent 4 hours yesterday in the womens pavillion (labor and delivery) getting iv fluids and sugar wa…

Have you tried a local food bank or wic? Those programs are designed to help people in a situation like you, and if you could get food without paying for it, that money could go elsewhere! Keep your head up! Some of the best memories my husband a…

Symptoms sound promising! Fingers crossed for you!

Thank you so much @everyone ! This is my husband and my first pregnancy and we aren't telling our families yet...its so hard to know what's normal!

Really @JenniFurrFurr ? I always found crocheting easier because I only had to coordinate one hook instead of 2 needles!

I love to crochet and cross stitch! It seems like so many people are having babies that I have done nothing but baby blankets for months! I have a great crochet baby sweater pattern that's soquick and easy, it only takes about 5 hours!
