Wow... That is terrible. I didn't get nearly as sick as you are but it still felt horrible so I can only imagine what you are feeling [emoji21]

I feel like I'm actually starting to feel a bit better except I'm starting to get insomnia and cramps at night. I went through that in a previous pregnancy. Horrible because it makes me even more tired and impatient during the day.

How long did the MS last for you in previous pregnancies. I'm sorry to all you ladies suffering... Its horrible.

Ok I grabbed some Unisom (generic because that's all they had! :( ) and some B6....took some just now so hopefully tomorrow will be better! FX!

I stay sick until 22 weeks. :(

I'll either get better by the end of the first trimester or it will last until 22 weeks. I hope it will be the former and not the latter!

Glad you are feeling somewhat better Sunbuny! I had insomnia with DS2. It was awful! Try taking a Benadryl before bed to get some sleep. Benadryl is a class A.

Took a half tab of unisom last night with the 100mg of B6. Woke up slightly better but nausea started about 10am. Wonder if I can take the other half tab in the morning? Yet, I'm so scared to take it during the day with littles at home. Ultrasound on Friday! Will be the longest week ever. How do you ladies feel about the ramzi theory? I hate to even think about it and give me hope for a girl. Just keep telling myself that I've done all I could. And know that if it wasn't for this site, I would have 0% at my girl.

This is directly off of my midwive's page:

Vitamin B6 may be taken to reduce nausea: 50-100mg per day
Medications: Doxylamine succinate (Unisom) can be taken at bedtime (25mg) and twice a day (12.5mg) for relief of nausea. However, this can be sedating. Doxylamine can also be taken in conjunction with Vitamin B6 in the above dosage and has been shown to be highly effective for decreasing nausea.

I feel the same way Smarston! Everything went out the window when I saw the baby on the screen during my first US. The baby implanted on the left side and my giant corpus luteum is also on the left! I keep telling myself that I could be the exception and this is still a boy. I just hope it is a DD for DH's sake!

GL at your US! Looking forward to hearing how things are going!

I have to share this with you ladies! So I have a family friend who is an OB (he over sees the midwives at my hospital that I see. It's like getting two for one, if I need interventions [emoji4]), and he gave me some tips that help with blood sugar and MS!

Don't sleep on your left side unless it has been 3 hours after eating. Sleeping on your left side before then puts more pressure on your stomach and cause it to take EVEN longer to empty! It also puts pressure on the pancreas causing insulin release to be impaired, which allows BS to stay higher.

So if we must go to bed/nap/rest cause we are so sick before 3 hours have passed, lay on our right side. It will help alleviate MS and not raise our blood sugar levels!

Why was I never told this before!!!!!

Also, sleep inclined after eating to prevent heartburn/sour stomach. I'm sure you all know about this one though!

But, I became a left sided sleeper to sway [emoji6]

How is everyone? I'm starting to feel twinges of MS, especially after I eat or if I haven't eaten in too long. I have the Unisom and B6 sitting on the shelf, but part of my is eager to feel some proof that the pregnancy is progressing. I know after about a day I'll be over that! Lol.

Hope you're all doing well! When is the next scheduled u/s to look forward to? Mine won't be until at least May 11, if they decide to do one the same day as my first prenatal visit.

Feel the same way. A few waves of nausea are reassuring. But, the unisom/b6 aren't making me want to rush time if that makes sense.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm 10 weeks and swear that I am feeling the baby move every now and then! Like little flutters!

I'm so sick still though [emoji20]. I dread eating dinner for I know I'll feel ill until i can take another dose of Diclegis.

Only four weeks till my 13week and 5days scan! I'll also have the MaterniT21 blood work drawn then too. Eek!

How is everyone else doing?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

XX-I bet it is flutters. My OB said she felt hers at 9 weeks and she would know if it's true or not.

I just had an extremely quick ultrasound to just ease fears (don't tell DH, official one is Friday) I'm 6w1d, according to LMP I should be 5w6d so perfect. Only one bean! (Secretly hoping for two) I kept asking if implanted on left and she said "you don't have left or right. It implanted on top"


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yay! Smarston! That is so reassuring that everything is ok! You're only 4weeks and 4 days behind me!

Anyone else have a scan coming up?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone else starting to show yet? I'm 10weeks and haven't gained any weight yet, but I already look pregnant! I know it's my third and my body has muscle memory from doing this before, but geez! We have already told people, because I clearly look pregnant [emoji53][emoji4]


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had my first scan yesterday and it was amazing. My MS disappeared at exactly 9 weeks so I was secretly freaking out and desperate for that reassurance. My baby was there, heart beating at 169 and measured at exactly 9w5d which is what I was yesterday. Phew... A load off. I'm having the chromosome blood test next week and my ob said I should have the results by the end of next week.. Gender and all. I'm extremely nervous... Just want all to be OK.

Girls, I really feel for those of you still feeling sick. Its so horrible and I hope it gets better soon.

I've put on weight but don't look pregnant yet. I looked more pregnant at This time in my 2nd pregnancy. I've told alot of people though because I'm so excited [emoji4]


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yay! Glad everything is ok Sunbuny! I have my next scan in 3.5 weeks and will know what we are having a week from then.

I'm only 5ft 4in so I think that is why I'm showing early. I'm just so happy to be pregnant again despite being so sick. I keep thinking about nursing and snuggling with another newborn and that makes the sickness worth it [emoji4]!!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm having waves of icks even with the unisom/b6. It's like a trouble deciding what to eat/not eat feeling. I have to grocery shop tomorrow and I'm dreading it. Have no idea what to buy. I'm normally really good at meal planning but I have no idea what I want to eat from day to day.
I am sooo bloated/pregnant looking. Thinking back, I was like this with my boys too. I remember people asking when I was due before I wanted to announce the pregnancy. Can't wait to announce so I can let the bloat fly free. Haha. Anybody have thoughts on finding out gender early? I'm wondering if the pregnancy will "drag" more if we find out so early. Granted, I need all the time to prepare for GD but still


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm with you Smarston! I have let the bloat fly free! I feel so much more comfortable! Plus, for Mother's Day DH and the boys bought me three CUTE pairs of capris (elastic waist band of course!) and two pairs of Birkenstock sandals [emoji4]. So yeah, you can tell I'm pregnant, but I'm comfortable and happy!!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm 5 weeks tomorrow. Not feeling too bad. Feel a bit nauseous when I haven't eaten for a while. At the moment I'm just too scared to enjoy being pregnant in case something goes wrong again.

Smarston, if you are interested in the Ramzi prediction method, then next time you have an u/s ask about the chorionic villi in relation to the fetus. The method is not about where you implanted in your uterus... Most the time where you implant depends most on what side you ovulated from, and although there are theories about gender and which ovary ovulated, this particular theory is not linked with that. What matters is whether the baby is to the left or right of what will eventually become the placenta, inside the membrane.

Good luck Friday!

Sunbuny, so happy you got to see your little baby! I am totally going to get the blood test, because I'm 37 so I want the reassurance of the genetic results, and I would like to know gender for sure before I see another penis in a sonogram haha.

XX- I'm glad you're comfy! And happy you can look forward to those snuggles even with being so sick.

Eleena, I am the same, scared to hope that all is going to go well. Just have to wait this out :(

AFM, just plugging along. Still terrified I might have twins, as I don't think DH will take that very well at all. Starting to have more MS, before I eat, after I eat, etc, but no food aversions, just nausea. First u/s is confirmed for May 11, 3:30 eastern.

I'm so jealous that you are all seeing your beans! I didn't want to go in for a long time (1st appt is set for June 9th) but I might go in earlier to get a Zofran Rx. I am having good days and bad days. I tried the Unisom/B6 combo and it worked on Sunday. Had my worst day yet on Monday and am so-so today. Considering I stay sick for so long and have a trip coming up, I am going to need the meds!

I can feel my uterus getting bigger that's for sure! It's my 6th pregnancy so it's no surprise that my tummy has all but given up. Lol. I'm a little worried about twins as well, Temerity! My very first BFP was at 13 dpo and it was darker than I'd ever seen a test. I usually only get light ones if at all by then. A week later I took another and it was even darker! Plus I started getting sick days after I found out...I usually have 3-4 weeks before I get sick. And I've been sooooooo sleepy. Was only sleepy with baby #1 and it was less than this. Maybe I'm just getting old but I will be relieved to see one baby on the ultrasound.

Hope you are all getting some relief! I'm hoping to feel better by mid August. This is going to be a miserable summer in the desert! :(

5babies- you could very well just have one bean in there! I got a VERY dark hpt on 10DPO and the darkest ever on 13DPO! Plus, my first beta hcg came back at 22,516 and my second two days later was 32,682! My OB was going to be happy anything over 2,000 and mine was. 5X that! My dates are what I knew they would be, and I only have one baby in there! But with such high HcG levels that explains why I'm so sick [emoji20][emoji4]!

Today was the best day ever with extremely mild MS. I'm hoping that I'm turning a corner, but we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Good to hear from you 5babies! I hope your MS doesn't last as long for you this time, for your sake!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's so reassuring to hear! DH would have a mental break down. Lol!

Five babies-I got a blaring positive on 9DPO in the afternoon and there's only one bean. I'm also more tired then l've ever been. Which is why I thought there would be more then one bean (not to mention I know I ovulated two confirmed by ultrasound) I hope the zofran gives you some relief. It never worked for me. Quite frankly, the taste makes me nauseous

XX-hope you are turning the corner!!

I hope I am too! I scheduled my 1hr glucose challenge today while I am still feeling good. I hope I pass! I should know the results either today or tomorrow. FX!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To the girls feeling sick... Have you tried dandelion root tea ? I read somewhere ( maybe here) that it can help with MS. Sorry if I'm repeating something already mentioned.

Good luck with the glucose test XX

I started spotting again (barely) but it was enough for me to call and go in sooner and get an Rx so I'm going in tomorrow morning. I'd love them to do an ultrasound just so I feel better about it.

I'm not sure how long I can do this. Feeling awful again today.

How is everyone else?

So scary!! Pray that you get to see your baby bean tomorrow!!

I'm in that have no idea what to eat stage. And if I don't eat it's worse. Or I take two bites and hate what I'm eating. DH has to get used to higher grocery bills...buy the whole store to eat two bites

I'm not sure this would help with MS. I'm Leary of taking homeopathic mess while pregnant though. Someone once recommended Kava tea for me, and I had a anaphylactic reaction to it! Yikes!

I wouldn't be able to drink the dandelion root tea either, since I have environmental allergies to every species of weed!

Ladies, I passed my 1hr glucose test!!! This is the first time I have EVER passed it (I failed it with both boys but passed the two hour test)! My BS was 103!!!!! So happy [emoji4]!

I probably will both in my second and third trimesters. I supposedly had late onset GD with DS2, although every time I monitored my BS levels they were always normal. I think they'll make me do another 1 hour one in the second trimester and the two hour one in the third trimester (that is the one I failed with DS2).

Jumping in on this thread :) I can't wait for my Dr's appointment, I am freaking out over the spotting I've had since 6dpo.

Welcome Seabee! I wonder if you have a SCH. I had one. My spotting started 23DPO and lasted for 3 days. It was bright red only when I wiped or checked and never on my panty liner. By the third day it was brown. Then 18 days later it came back, same as before but lighter, and then again 5 days after that after sex. It is now completely gone. My first US showed a small clot behind the amniotic sac that measured 1cm in diameter. The second round of spotting occurred after the clot broke off. The baby is completely fine and my OB said it is nothing to worry about. Apparently it happens a lot. He said that the baby just found a great blood supply!

I hope all stays well! Keep us posted!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome Seabee! So excited for you. I also had a SCH with my last baby that lasted from 5 weeks until past 10 weeks. All healed up though.

XX- congrats on passing your glucose test!!! I truly understand how exciting that is. Lol.

AFM, went to the Dr today (was spotting even more this AM) had an u/s and thankfully only saw 1 tiny bean in there! No SCH this time so thinks it make be my cervix bleeding but isn't concerned. Baby is measuring right on track with my due date. Had blood draw for betas (which I've never had done) so I'll be curious to hear more about that. Unfortunately that was my only u/s until the 18-20 week one so no nub shot for me to obsess over later. :(
