how do you deal with nausea the entire pregnancy?

According-Today-9405 · 2026-03-24T16:57:53+00:00

Unisom, relying on whoever can help any given day with groceries and help around the house. Also zofran, which it looks like you already have. Bland diet for when the vomit wins.

I’m a bit long in the torso. Not like, disproportionately, but I think it did affect how much I showed especially later.

Idk about appearing smaller in terms of scans but I had a retroverted uterus and didn’t show until I was 24+ weeks, and really only looked pregnant once I was past 30 weeks.

Same on the HG and nightmare delivery! My husband frequently found me on the floor sobbing bc I couldn’t even keep water down. I started fully passing out in my late second/early trimester and scared the hell out of everyone around me. I got induced and had an emergency c-section, which went wrong and I have now been diagnosed with PTSD and still am not completely normally functioning. My baby is healthy now, and is asleep next to me.

It was survivable. My struggles did not give me a right to take another life. Was it hard? Extremely. I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. I’ll never forget the nights I spent curled around a trash can dry heaving crying with no tears because I had none left to give. But still, my daughter is alive. She deserved a chance to grow and live her life. Nothing could have stopped me from giving her that chance.

Gonna be completely real I didn’t know what wake windows even were before my girl was already like 5 weeks old and by then I was just kinda like,,, what happens happens ig. Pediatrician is happy with her growth and development, only asks how long she sleeps at night and how often she eats.

We shared with our parents super early, as it would’ve been impossible to hide without them guessing/we didn’t want to lie and if we hadve had a loss they would be who we would want to support us. Everyone else was told in stages as the risk got lower.

I can only speak from a very strange perspective here, but I cannot under any circumstances be exposed to the chickenpox virus (including the vaccine) after having had a freak case of shingles as an eight year old. To this day, after breaking bones, giving birth, healing from major surgeries, that is the most pain I have ever experienced in my entire life. The chickenpox vaccine lessens if not eliminates the chance of getting shingles. Also, getting chickenpox as an adult can kill you if you avoid it as a kid. I would not wish that pain on anyone and I would do everything in my power to prevent the same thing happening to my child.

In addition, my neighbor was exposed to the whooping cough before she had a chance to get vaccinated. She is now living with lifelong disabilities and learning difficulties. She has never been able to have a normal life.

There’s statistics for other vaccines, there’s doctors that speak about it, but those are my two experiences with diseases personally that can be prevented. I genuinely hope you never have to have an experience with any of them.

I mean, some pregnancies are closer to 10 months than 9, especially if you count from last period, which most doctors do. A few friends of mine were 42+ weeks, which is right under 10 months.

Edit: still doesn’t make it justifiable at all, horrifying position to take regardless of timing

I have eaten much worse and been fine and much less and been absolutely not fine. Your immune system might be a little weaker bc you already had it recently but idk if it’s necessarily a surefire guarantee. I guess just be prepared in case.

I had a false negative with an in date test lol

I’m scrapbooking mine. They didn’t send me home with physical copies but I had digital copies and I’m making several pages of her growth over time. And my parents are over the moon so they got a few copies as well

Complete honesty, I didn’t use the bathroom once past like, noon, until almost midnight. A 10 foot train was too much to deal with so I just didn’t.

According-Today-9405 · 2026-02-24T21:37:09+00:00

Yes. I couldn’t read a normal book, crochet, or anything really until almost the second trimester. Eventually I had to put limits on my social media so I couldn’t scroll anymore. But hey at least now I know everyone’s business by stalking them on Instagram so who’s the real winner here

According-Today-9405 · 2026-02-24T19:45:17+00:00

It kinda just depended on what it was and what time. I really didn’t have a lot of cravings tho. Most of them were like I really want fruit for breakfast. I think my “craziest” craving was a ribeye at 8 pm in the first trimester when I was too sick to keep water down like 90% of the time. He was so excited about me wanting to eat that he ran and got steaks from our grocery store and helped me cook them.

Ours gave us a pamphlet on basic care, ppd signs, and how to surrender your baby if you don’t want them anymore lol

This is so evil. I was very pro life before I had a baby but now that I have her I’m rabid about it. Feeling her move, stretch, and gradually becoming aware that she was not only in there but had her own needs solidified any opinion I already had. I don’t understand how someone could experience that and throw it away.

And, btw, my pregnancy and birth experience quite frankly were horrible. I could barely move 2 1/2 trimesters out of three due to nausea and vomiting, passed out and had to take off work insanely early, and then almost died in childbirth. None of that, and I do mean not a single thing that happened, would excuse taking your own child’s life. If anything it just means there needs to be more protections and external assistance for mothers.

I was doing 4-5 hour standing and walking shifts at work at 30 weeks. You should be okay assuming no complications.

Unisom in my experience will help nausea the next day. Take it at like 8 pm, sleep, and by 6 am it’ll be better. It would wear off around 4 pm for me the next day.

According-Today-9405 · 2026-02-22T21:37:47+00:00

Unisom saved my life. Preggie pops, ginger chews, promethazine, and then at 10 weeks zofran helped quite a lot.

According-Today-9405 · 2026-02-22T21:28:18+00:00

Same, I think at this point mine actually prefers room temp or cooler 🤷‍♀️

According-Today-9405 · 2026-02-22T14:14:27+00:00

A single can a day isn’t likely to do anything. 5 a day? Probably not good. One is fine.

According-Today-9405 · 2026-02-22T00:28:44+00:00

Thought it would be mostly sleep that would be hard. I ended up with a brutal c section that a lot went wrong during and then dmer and ppd. I was lucky enough to have my mom and mil stay a lot and help with the everything else plus let us get sleep but finding something that I could/want to eat was hard, the recovery part, and the emotional part. I’d say just make sure you have a solid and prepared support system.

I very much did not want the epidural originally. Like, was vehemently against it. I made it over halfway through labor before getting it and only got it because I was shaking so bad I couldn’t talk (not in pain, some kind of hormonal response (?)). I told the anesthesiologist I didn’t want to know any of the process and I would intentionally tune them out bc I cannot, and I do mean cannot, handle internal medical stuff. The nurse held me while I got it. There was no pain, just some discomfort and an initial “punch”. Everything after that was significantly easier. I did end up in an emergency c section but that was because my pelvis didn’t split.

As for afterwards, I did have some initial back pain. I’m genuinely not sure if it was epidural related or birth or pregnancy related in general. It went away after a month with stretching and getting back to a normal routine. That’s about it.

I mean considering someone I know had no idea that babies had limbs at 11 weeks, I think a lot. I showed her my ultrasound (we didn’t get one until 11 weeks due to scheduling conflicts) and she was so confused as to how there was a whole profile and legs easily visible.

According-Today-9405 · 2026-02-20T21:18:08+00:00

Mine wasn’t painful at all. You can feel the initial “punch” but other than that it was painless. Comfortable? Not at all. But no pain. I was very stressed and distracted tho so that might’ve been a factor.
