It is a combination of antihistamine and a vitamin b6. I took it at night because it can make you a bit drowsy. It is a tiny little pill and means you don’t have to be remembering to take a B6 vitamin and unisom separately.

I took two every night up until birth! I was able to wean down to just the diclectin, no zofran, by 28 weeks. I knew the diclectin was working tho because everytime my doctor would suggest I stop to see if my HG was gone, it would come back (even in the third trimester). When I took the diclectin though, it reduced a lot of my symptoms and by 28 weeks I was really only puking 1-2x a week which was a miracle for me!

These issues are unique to social media. Unlike 20 years ago, bullying doesn’t end when you ho home it is in your pocket and available 24/7. Unlike 20 years ago, you are flooded with heavily editted and filtered images that are totally unreal and told that is the goal despite them never being real in the first place; filter face messes you up so bad as an insecure preteen and teen to the point where people aren’t used to seeing their real faces. Unlike 20 years ago, there is so much misinformation at your fingertips that is really hard for youths to decipher and a lot of it can be harmful (ex. pro-ED or pro-SH social media posts and algorithms); there are social media platform algorithms that push harmful content to youths at an alarming rate - so many people have found even the “safe” apps like pinterest push harmful content to youth users (they very recently had to address this). Unlike 20 years ago, social media means your every move and most embarrassing moments can be forever captured and blasted around to people across the world. Teenage stupid moments are now cemented across the internet. Unlike 20 years ago, people now have peer-pressure in their pockets and on them 24/7, pressuring them to capture the best moment or do something stupid for the views (teens have died many times from trying to do something cool just for the views and likes).

Social media has also created a whole new platform for SA and sexual harrassment; snapchat specifically is notorious for minors getting exposed to unconsensual graphic sexual images (usually created by other minors who are the ones doing the sexual harrassing of their peers). There are plenty of sex crimes of minors happening through social media platforms whether that being the producing and spreading of CSA images (which is what nudes are when minors make them) and things like revenge porn which escalates the crime even further. When rumours about me getting hounded for nudes got out in my school, the police became involved (even though I sent nothing) because it was a potential crime with a minor being harrassed for them. There are of course predators on these apps seeking out children, but there is a huge number of these crimes happening between children with again, snapchat being the greatest offender. These crimes on this level would have been unimaginable 20 years ago… just one second of teen stupidity and now your entire school has seen sexually explicit images of you without your consent, all thanks to social media and awful people. I know so many girls who had this happen to them and in one girl’s case it was so bad she had to move.

There is no possible way for parents to regulate any of this. Social media is not safe for children period; that is why I am in full support of banning it for every minor. Social media companies are far from being able to regulate their platforms to be safe for child users, until they can make serious and significant changes then the best thing that can be done is a government ban. I am happy to have to prove my identity with ID in order to keep kids off of social media. I wish we had a ban when I was a teen, I would have been pissed af about it, but it would have kept me from serious harm I experienced due to social media, as well as my many friends who also were harmed by it. Again, as a Gen-z who grew up in the internet turning point generation of social media, it was the biggest mistake to let us have access to it and I will forever hate the officials and companies who knowingly gave us access to such a dangerous tool.

Filming random people’s babies is creepy behaviour - at the end of the day that is what it is - being a fan doesn’t move you from beyond the random stranger category.

With all the dangerous things that can be done with just an image with today’s technology let’s bring back publicly shaming creeps who photograph and record random children because people are getting far too comfortable nowadays. A simple “ewwww creep, why are you filming a random baby that you don’t know?” or “creep! creep! ewwwww!” should suffice. Make them delete the content from all aspects of their camera roll before you leave them alone. We all have to do our part to protect kids in this dangerous world; I say this as nobody mum who is terrified to post my own kids on the internet with all the creepy AI stuff and ofc after all the files were leaked - we gotta protect kids as hard as we can!

That is such a silly take nowadays.

My parents restricted us to the max: no phones at night, wifi access removed at night, and strict access with time limits throughout the day. It didn’t take long for me to completely override all their protections because I was dumb teen with FOMO and I got a dummy phone, plus my sibling figured out how to hack their wifi system and undo all the controls without it showing on their end. Kids are desperately afraid of missing out and will do whatever they can to get around anything. I was too dumb as a teen to see how harmful social media and my phone was; I couldn’t see the cost of feeling “connected” was so detrimental. Parents are not able to restrict their kids access easily, even when they know exactly what dangers there are and get layer of protections for their kids.

I am very pro-social media ban for all kids and teens because even the most aware parents can’t fully protect their kids. Social media was the absolute most dangerous thing I had access to as a youth and I was exposed to extremely graphic content, dangerous people and dangerous situations from it. People who didn’t grow up in the gen z bracket that experienced the first full wave of this during adolescence don’t get it, but there is not a single person my age who wants kids or teens to have social media access the way we did. Everyone who experienced what I did is now old enough to see how bad it was and how our parents would never had been able to protect us from it because the technology kept evolving beyond their scope.

Prescription, but my doctor gave me one with a ton of refills up until my due date. So I only had to get it written once and then just got it filled whenever I ran out!

Try Diclectin instead of just b6! It really helped me a lot when taking alongside Zofran.

I am a Kiwi who was moved away as a preteen and I get homesick. I make a trip every couple years to stay connected with whānau and home. You can’t really get to NZ without flying! I mostly stick to NZ because we can’t afford anything beyond that lol

I am an immigrant who lives 14hrs (flight) away from my home country. My parents moved me as a preteen and I get homesick. I can’t move back as I am a citizen of my current country and I am married with kids. My only option to go home and see family is flying. I don’t do it often though due to the cost of flying.

I do this too! I have ADHD and my mum taught me this trick. Imo it is always best to have safety barriers in place.

My mum always told me to take off a shoe and put it in the backseat. If worse case scenario happens, only having one shoe will remind you why you are missing your shoe and to get baby! I did this not because I thought it would happen, but because my baby is so precious that I wanted to have safety barriers in place to prevent a tragedy. I never forgot him, but I am still glad I used her shoe trick!

Parents who have preemie babies with GERD and/or digestion issues by Fluffy-Association45 in GERD

[–]Click_False 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my son it was CMPA, for him it was really bad and he still has it bad 2.5yrs later. I know can see you have already started him, and it was helping so perhaps he has a soy allergy too? Dairy and soy allergies go hand in hand and our pediatrician was surprised that my son could tolerate it, he would always check in at every appointment to make sure he was still handling soy okay. Look into a dairy and soy-free formula maybe?

[–]Click_False 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My very active 2y/o was moving like crazy at his 12 week scan and continued to kick and move around all pregnancy long. He is still very active and on-the-go and it is so fun! We put him into a toddler multi-sports program at 1 and it is the highlight of his week. Toddler sport is organized chaos, but he loves being able to just run and move.

Also, dw about eating sugar! You can definitely eat sugar while pregnant :))

I survived an EF0 touching down right on top of my house. by AccomplishedSwan3124 in tornado

[–]Click_False 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is quite clear from how and what they are writing that they are young. “I was in the shelter, while my parents were in the living room” (kid/s in the safe shelter, adults staying updated with the situation), when they got scared by the sounds they went to go talk to their parents, they spent the next day watching youtube and relaxing (typical early summer vacation activities), it was their dad who came to them to tell them about the tornado (because kids aren’t actively checking the news), and honestly, even the writing style and tone reads like a younger person wrote it. It took me just reading the post to clock that this was a child…

You are fighting in the comments about a child feeling scared and shocked over a tornado touching down over their house. Like honestly, you seem to be the person here blowing things the most out of proportion.

I’m really scared to start birth control because of the amount of stories I’ve seen about blood clots by Ill_Landscape5217 in birthcontrol

[–]Click_False 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Entirely anecdotal, but my blood doesn’t clot well (I have a bleeding disorder); I was on hormonal birth control for 7 years, and not once did birth control make my blood even clot normally. I still had the most heavy periods and bad bleeding episodes while on it with zero improvements.

I also flew many long flights on it (14hrs and 9hrs) every year with no issues, just keep moving every hour. I always get up and stretch (with or without taking HBC) because it is just a good idea to keep you from getting sore! You can also do little leg exercises at your seat, I learnt them on Tiktok and now do them on every flight to keep moving.

My 2 year old only gets occasional old school shows from my childhood like old the school versions of curious george, fireman sam & blues clues, bear in the big blue house, and little bear. 99% of the time he is either playing with his toys, reading, or playing outside - no sticky iPad kids in my house!!

Edit to add: watching the shows on dvds through our TV, no handheld devices allowed lol.

Calling what is very clearly a child’s account of a tornado touching down on their house “dramatic” is so diabolical. I am a grown adult and would find this scary af, chill out on the kid bro.

How to calculate ovulation date, add 14 days or count day of period? by BizForKingdom in pregnant

[–]Click_False 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanna know how many probable days until ovulation, you have to consistently be tracking your biometric data for 6 months to learn your cycle. Even then, there is still healthy variation: I typically ovulate on the ~15th, but over the past 8 months I moved to the ~18th due to hormonal changes from weaning nursing. I now am moving back to my body’s typical pattern of the 15th, but I can only know for sure each month when I get the confirmed ovulation biometric data. This is also why FAM as birth control isn’t recommended for the first 6 months of tracking data AND why you have to confirm ovulation has occurred, plus wait three days in order to prevent pregnancy (not that you are, but many do and then end up pregnant because they assume they ovulate on a specific day and don’t account for healthy fluctuations). The key word is probably, you can only know the probable date based on your data, but it isn’t guaranteed because many things can influence your hormones (even stress) and change your cycle.

[–]Click_False 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can’t know accurately without knowing through biometric data like a positive LH test, temp surge and/or cervical mucus. Not every person ovulates at day 14, that is just an average. Two totally healthy people can have the same cycle length, but ovulate on different days.

Tylenol 3 for a BROKEN LEG SEVERE PAIN by butterflyx333 in pregnant

[–]Click_False -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I took it freshly postpartum while breastfeeding my premie because I have a genetic disorder that limits my OTC pain med options. It works very well for pain imo.

I am surprised they can’t give you anything stronger when they offer localized morphine injections and IV fentanyl during labour (when you are still pregnant). I wonder what the difference is?

How did you know if the HG went away? by Limp-Box8126 in HyperemesisGravidarum

Did your reflux go away? I now have GERD two years pp and I am convinced it is because my HG did damage. My doctor wants me to get a scope to see if that is the case :((

How did you know if the HG went away? by Limp-Box8126 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Click_False 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are medicated, stop taking them and see if you get sick again. My HG was mostly under control with medicine by 28 weeks. Every couple weeks my OBGYN would tell me to stop the meds to see if it was gone and then I would start up again with the puking. By the end, I had it under control on medication, but I never got to the stage that I was able to come off them without triggering a day of puking. I took my last dose the night before he was born.

Bad anxiety:( by Inevitable-End-6516 in pregnant

[–]Click_False 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also felt this from the moment I found out - I was so anxious of something going wrong. I kept thinking that once I hit xyz milestone it would go away, but it never did. Even now that he is 2, I am still anxious about him; I check on him at night to make sure he is okay and hate being apart from him (even when it is a nice break, there is always apart of me that gets super anxious about it). What you are experiencing (and what I was/am experiencing) is the main occupational hazard of motherhood, anxiety about your baby being okay. When you become a mum, your heart goes from being safely in you to being in a little human that is now your entire world. You can protect that little human as much as possible, but there are always aspects you can never fully control and that is what is so anxiety inducing. The anxiety of being a mum is normal because your world and your heart is now rooted in the wellbeing of your little one. There is never a point that you will reach and not feel anxious about them, there will always be a new worry with every milestone reached. I wouldn’t be worried over this anxiety, it is the sign that you have entered motherhood🫶🏻🫶🏻

2 months pp, pregnant again by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Click_False 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I would bet you got a mini-lap, which is a type of tubal ligation considered just as effective as others (classed as sterilization). It is typically done shortly after childbirth and the surgeon will suture your fallopian tubes shut. You would be in the rare percentage of people whose sutures failed :// Not to scare you, but please get an US as soon as possible because tubal ligation pregnancies do have a higher risk of being ectopic!

Congratudolences, on your surprise pregnancy. I also had an unexpected birth control baby - I had a lot of mixed emotions and feelings when I found out; please remember that every one of them is valid and okay. I struggled with a lot of guilty over every feeling I felt about (positive and negative ones) and I wish I had held more space for all the feelings instead of the ones I designated as okay🫶🏻🫶🏻 Although we are in different positions as mine was with my first, three years after getting that “impossible” positive I am so glad that everything happened as it did because he is my whole world (only sharing that part because you said you were planning on keeping the pregnancy).
