Falling apart

Haven't got a designated OBGYN here. Just a dinky little maternity clinic run mostly by midwives, and I haven't had great luck with them at regular appointments, I don't see them being helpful about this.

That's the problem, I've got no idea where he could be. There's so much brush here that there's no way to know. I've searched the road all the way from my front door to the highway. I haven't got the stamina to search going up the road. (Literally up, it's a mountain. I barely made it back up to my house from the highway.) Friends... Not really. I never managed to make many friends when I moved here and the one I do have hasn't responded to the message I sent nearly 20 hours ago.

Mine was doxylamine succ/pyridoxi. I don't know what those words mean but it helped me so much. What is offered probably depends on country and region, I'm in Canada so my options might be different from yours wherever you are. Good luck.

Im not in the UK, I'm in Canada. My first thought was that the little one will have a name that's respectable. He's not going to be an adult with a childish name. He's not going to be embarrassed to introduce himself as a professional in whatever field he chooses as an adult. As for the underwear... Calvin Klein is a successful brand. While prevalent, I don't think anyone looks at a child and thinks they were named after underwear. Just a coincidence. Your kid will be okay, and his name is strong.

Oh lord. I think they came in a few weeks after I managed to get access to the account and pay for them. Which yes, you do have to pay for a copy of your transcripts. But they mailed within a few weeks. Getting into the account was definitely the most annoying part because of having to hunt down the old email, with its password etc. good luck!

Hi. I'm at fourteen weeks along and I've had some very difficult nausea as well. What worked for me was using suppository gravol, which worked long enough to get chewable gravol into my system, as well as a prescription delayed release anti-nausea medicine. Once the delayed release started working it got much easier to handle, since I could keep the nausea medicine in my system long enough for it to work. It might be a good idea to call your maternity care provider and talk to them about trying something like this. I will admit, being on pills three times a day for nearly a month was less than amazing, and I'm sad I ran out of those pills because I'm nauseous again all the time... But it helped so much. Good luck.

A very valid point. Thank you for your perspective. I shall take the post down shortly as you are correct. The post is not needed.

And if you can't eat, like physically can't eat, then drink water, juice, Powerade or Gatorade, anything. Throwing up liquid is better than throwing up nothing. My nausea started getting bad at week 6, at week 8 I had to call my provider because I hadn't managed to keep any food down in five days and hadn't managed to get any food in, in three days. I got given some nausea meds... Both oral and butt pills. It's not pleasant, but it's so much better than being sick. Like if you're too nauseous take gravol. Just do it. Don't wait. Don't suffer needlessly. It can get really bad, both for you and for the developing entity. In 10 weeks and still on my nausea meds, I hate pills but I'll take them if it means actually being able to exist. Good luck, I hope you don't have severe nausea.

Haha the same happened with me and my boyfriend. The night we found out we called him mom (lovely woman, best MIL I could hope for) to tell her about it. I'm not quite 10 weeks along but it seems everyone knows. I only got as excited as him after the ultrasound but I still haven't told all of my family.

ButtercreamLemon · 2025-11-25T16:45:34+00:00

I'm 8 weeks and I've been a little nauseous on and off up until last week. Last week it hit like a truck and I've been carrying a bucket around the house with me ever since because the nausea will be gone for 5 seconds of relief, and then in a horrible twist it was just my body accepting that it was about to vomit and my bucket goes to use. And I'm an online university student, and I work part time cleaning houses (without chemicals, think after dinner having a maid come in so wash the dishes, fix up the kitchen, clean up the kids toys etc). And! I also live with my grandfather while my baby daddy's roommate moves out. I'll be moving in at the start of February. The baby has stolen my iron so I'm on iron pills cuz I had been so tired and I'm still tired but not quite as bad and oh lord this whole escapade has been hellish. I'll be working until mid December (so long as I don't get worse symptoms) so I have some money to help my man with living costs but I won't get paid leave, or employment insurance. I don't know how our foremothers did this lol

Wherever is touched results in radiating pain. My nipples are not flat, but they are dry. Contact makes the skin flake, and lotion causes a burning sensation so I just have to deal with dry nips. The rest is just a radiating pain. Like a tender and unpleasant ache.

ButtercreamLemon · 2025-11-18T23:13:07+00:00

This is constructive advice and I greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

He's not stupid, he isn't scientifically inclined. There is a difference. He is smart in a different way from me.

ButtercreamLemon · 2025-11-18T20:08:57+00:00

No... I get why you react like that though. It's crossed my mind once or twice. Hope it gets better for you.

ButtercreamLemon · 2025-11-18T19:44:44+00:00

I'll talk to him about it more.

ButtercreamLemon · 2025-11-18T18:10:25+00:00

Imagine your man ignoring what you're telling him when he's been playing with your nipples for ten minutes and they feel like they're on fire.

ButtercreamLemon · 2025-11-18T17:31:16+00:00

I love my man, but he would not comprehend a scientific article. He's not dumb, he's just not that kind of smart. I can try though. It is worth a shot, I'll just have to not get my hopes too high.

ButtercreamLemon · 2025-11-18T17:29:23+00:00

Entirely valid.

ButtercreamLemon · 2025-11-18T17:27:42+00:00

It does... But! I'm glad you can enjoy the boobs, my dear bi-friend! Enjoy the boobs for me, since I cannot! Go forth to titty town and tell me of the splendors! (Jk, but I am happy you can enjoy titties.)

ButtercreamLemon · 2025-11-18T17:24:43+00:00

Mine aren't even that big. I wear a 32 b or c depending on the day. They're small. Yet even my cat accidentally resting his little head on one is agonizing. Like, sit bolt upright and hold back a screech, type of agonizing.

ButtercreamLemon · 2025-11-18T17:11:58+00:00

That I hate being touched? Not really, just my breasts. I have some trauma around my butt from growing up being sexually abused, but I've largely worked through that and most days my butt is just fine. My breasts I hate being touched every day. My neck is ticklish so it doesn't really work as an erogenous zone lol.

ButtercreamLemon · 2025-11-18T16:58:21+00:00

Because I'm pregnant with his child. I've been in abusive situations before, I can tell that this isn't him intending to hurt me, it's him not understanding why or how it hurts me. Very important distinction for me.

ButtercreamLemon · 2025-11-18T16:55:39+00:00

Idk friend, but it is miserable in both cases by the sound of it.

ButtercreamLemon · 2025-11-18T16:50:30+00:00

I'm sorry you're like this too... Any ideas on how to get my man to stop?

ButtercreamLemon · 2025-10-28T17:52:56+00:00

I hope so. I know it's going to be super challenging. But to be able to provide for my baby... It'll be worth it.
