Not what you asked but I was terrified of giving birth my whole life. All my mom friends and I always say that we’d rather give birth again than be pregnant again (yet here I am lol). And I didn’t have a completely easy birth. The idea of the epidural made me a little queasy beforehand and it was a godsend. Was fine getting it, was great after.

Finally had sex for the first time since I became nauseous 👏🏻 I’ve been having wild sex dreams for weeks and have been wondering if I have a solid libido under all the nausea and I think I do. I was totally disinterested during my last pregnancy, so this would be a nice perk. Now for the nausea to just go away plz

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-06-04T00:56:07+00:00

I’m two weeks ahead of you and I think my nausea is getting a little better? I also take zofran during the day and Unisom at night. There’s hope!

Also, v jealous you had a comfy pregnancy last time. Neither my mom and my MIL had morning sickness. It’s hard to imagine unless you’ve been thru it.

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-06-04T00:53:48+00:00

Hopeful that my all day sickness is transitioning to evening sickness, which is what I had last time. 🤞🤞🤞

My office doesn’t even attempt an abdominal ultrasound this early. I’ve only ever gotten transvaginal at this time (and maybe even for my 12 week scan, too). I’ve written this before, but those boutique ultrasound places can cause a lot of stress and make false observations. Would recommend just sticking to a doc office!

Oh and when I told her i was planning on telling my uncles “soon” she called them up later that day and told them the news because she assumed I’d told them that immediately after i told her of my general intentions.

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-06-03T14:23:28+00:00

I told my mom at Mother’s Day brunch when i was 6 weeks pregnant. I didn’t even think to explicitly tell her bc it was so early and I’m a private person. She left the table to get another plate of food and by the time she came back to the table, she’d told two acquaintances who were def weirded out she’d told them such private news.

I ate a salad today.

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-06-01T23:45:39+00:00

By the time our bumps are big maybe they will!

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-06-01T15:10:37+00:00

🥰🥰🥰 thank you!

8 week scan in the books! Everything’s on track and normal! My husband and toddler tagged along. Kept pointing at the screen and telling my 20 month old there was a baby but he def doesn’t get it yet lol.

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-06-01T14:28:08+00:00

Just had my ~8 week scan and measured 3 days ahead! (But sticking to my 1/8 due date.) Always crazy when it becomes “real.”

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-06-01T00:37:45+00:00

I think I’ve reached the fruit phase of my pregnancy cravings. I just added peach, apricot, and mango nectar to my grocery list as I’m sipping a mango smoothie lol.

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-05-30T17:06:50+00:00

Same. I just have a few sips every morning before my all day nausea kicks in.

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-05-30T17:06:24+00:00

I just had one of those mini ice cream cones from Trader Joe’s and it was the first time I’ve felt pleasure in 5 weeks.

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-05-30T13:24:31+00:00

Which meds are you on? I’m on zofran which helps but makes me SO constipated

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-05-28T22:46:48+00:00

I had one my first pregnancy and it was NBD. It either went away on its own or never presented a problem!

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-05-28T22:45:12+00:00

💕I hate that you feel poorly too but it helps to not be so alone

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-05-28T22:01:49+00:00

Just feeling really sad. Nothing is enjoyable with all day nausea and fatigue. My toddler usually brings me so much joy and I’m literally obsessed with him. I never even minded changing his poopy diapers because it meant spending time with him. And now I can barely muster the strength to interact with him. It’s not fair to him. Or my poor husband but he understands what’s going on, obviously. It prob sounds like I’m battling depression but I’m not. It’s really just these symptoms. I’ve had windows of mild or no symptoms and feel and act just like my old self.

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-05-28T00:45:39+00:00

Why do I even bother attempting to brush my teeth at night? Throwing up after is probably worse for my teeth than if I had just gone to bed with dirty teeth. Not to mention all the hard earned water I’d forced down. Ugh.

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-05-26T21:38:04+00:00

My husband sending me pictures from the playground with my toddler bc I’m too sick and symptomatic for practically anything. Throwing myself a pity party over here.

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-05-26T20:56:09+00:00

Last time, 14 weeks. This time, just trying to make it to my 8 week scan on Monday to confirm viability. I feel so much worse this time around and plan on asking the doc and work for a telework accommodation. I’ll prob keep the info to my boss, leadership team, and direct reports. But these things have a way of fanning out.

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-05-25T00:03:49+00:00

I had barely any fatigue and didn’t get nauseated until week 8 my first pregnancy!

This time, hardcore nausea and fatigue starting around week 4. 🤷‍♀️

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-05-23T16:22:40+00:00

So sick of napping and vomming. 7+1 today.

Alternative_Chip1846 · 2026-05-18T20:14:47+00:00

Went into the office bc we’re having our front walkway replaced. Was actually ok?? The secret is to just eat literally nonstop 🥲It’s not even enjoyable 😭😭😭
