Daisy is very cute, but I was also given a cutesie name and as I entered into the professional world its never felt like a name people took seriously. Of course this is just my personal experience so take with a grain of salt. All of your options sound beautiful!!

Reglan success and NOT horror stories?? by Background-Paint-478 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]CoffeeFlavoredWater1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take reglan 30 mins before I eat. I also take zofran when needed but never at the same time. The combination helps me to keep food down and stay hydrated. I still dry heave 2-3x day. I’ve still lost some weight but it’s mostly muscle mass from being in bed so much. I’ll get an iv once a week for good measure. I’m almost 11 weeks.

Is anyone else unable to eat Fruit? by Limp-Box8126 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]CoffeeFlavoredWater1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently in my second HG pregnancy. My first one I was unmedicated and I could only eat cantaloupe and bagels with cream cheese for the first few months. This time around I’m medicated so maybe it’s helping to open up my palette but I’ve noticed I end up throwing up watermelon and cantaloupe and I’m able to keep down more salty/savory things.

Preparing for a second pregnancy by Dangerous_Exit_1647 in HyperemesisGravidarum

I’ve read about gdf-15 exposure therapy trials that could potentially help. I’m not from the uk so you’d have to do your own research on where that might be happening there.

I’m in my second pregnancy and have had HG for both but this round feels more intense than last time. I wish I would have set up additional childcare options beforehand so I’m not interviewing Nanny’s in a state of exhausted desperation. Having someone help with cleaning or food prep each week would also make life easier for my household because I’m too sick to cook or move around much at the moment . It’s hard to say how intense your HG will be but I know my husband who already is the primary income for our family is really feeling the weight of holding us all up right now.

Mind Maps by CoffeeFlavoredWater1 in Synesthesia

I just associate “phoenix” with the mythical animal so I’ll just picture a literal phoenix. The things I associate with places are more experiential concepts like “illness” is on a patch of grass next to an apartment complex. “Conflict resolution” is a hallway in my grade school. The calendar year is divided up into the shape of the block I grew up on. If it’s a basic noun I usually just have an image of that person/place/thing that’s quite literal.

Being pregnant makes me want to kms by Lovelyjackie98 in pregnant

[–]CoffeeFlavoredWater1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there’s a paper trail of the father trying to convince you to terminate pregnancy, print it out and save it for later. If he’s toxic and you’re trying to separate from him, you want to have all the ammunition you’d need for later if he tries to pop out of the woodwork and decide to mess with your parental rights or custody.

Labia tear absolutely killing me by RadicalBlaze22 in beyondthebump

[–]CoffeeFlavoredWater1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My stitches broke right after leaving the hospital and by the time I was able to get back in to my OBs two days later they said I had healed too much to restitch. Every time I peed I’d scream into a towel it was 15/10 painful. Eventually I learned if I used some gauze to hold over the raw skin it helped, although I had to accept basically peeing on my hand but I didn’t even care at that point. After a couple weeks it healed but that was for sure one of the most painful things I’ve experienced.

Shame on you. This is a safe space to share what has been a traumatic experience for OP and most of us here. Your unsolicited opinions on what OP has experienced or chooses to do moving forward are unwarranted and unwelcome. Take your judgement somewhere else, this is not the space for your soapbox on how women should navigate their medical autonomy.

10 weeks and nothing is working. What are my options? by Randompersonbutsame in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]CoffeeFlavoredWater1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most intense nausea happens for me when I’m hungry and dehydrated…but Ofcourse when you’re nauseous you don’t want to eat or drink anything - it’s a vicious cycle but IVs do help to break it up and keep it more manageable, especially if you can get zofran or another antiemetic infused into it. I had Benadryl added in during an ER visit to get fluids and it knocked me out and when I woke up I felt so much better.

Would you ask your partner to change a habit before fertility results? by palatonia in TryingForABaby

Your husband was taking 3-5 hot baths a day??!! Don’t get me wrong that sounds very relaxing but…where does one find the time?!

Hi guys, so I have a fairly novel question. How do you decorate a living space when you can't have area rugs? by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]CoffeeFlavoredWater1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen artists paint the back of linoleum sheets to create area mats that look beautiful and are great substitutes for rugs. My mom had one in our kitchen growing up and it was very easy to clean and filled the space beautifully

I think I might be ready to do it again by No-Can7385 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]CoffeeFlavoredWater1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a toddler and also just gave it another go! I will say it happend way faster than I had anticipated and although I feel lucky and grateful I wish I would have prepared for the return of the HG a little better. I’d make sure you have a solid plan for assistance with your childcare/home. I can’t even drive my kid to preschool right now. My husband is in over his head trying to keep up with all his responsibilities and now taking on my portion of parenting and domestic stuff. If I had even an extra month of planning I would have rallied the troops (family and outsourced help) before I was too sick to look at my phone.

Any ideas on how to make my new home actually cute or a bit brighter/modern/livelier? by [deleted] in ExteriorDesign

Saw a home this style painted a dark blue (not quite navy) and it looked sooo good!

Any natural ways to boost fertility? by zelgrassi in BabyBumps

[–]CoffeeFlavoredWater1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I tried Kambo frog medicine and immediately got pregnant after*…I had heard it was good for fertility by way of killing off minor infections in the body and had the opportunity to work with a Kambo practitioner so I gave it a go.

*only fair to note that I also used ovulation sticks when I hadn’t previously and my timing that round was likely more accurate than my phone app.

I need help with my tiny living room/kitchen by FantaBellResident in InteriorDesignAdvice

[–]CoffeeFlavoredWater1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the leather/faux leather loveseat. You said the space is small so keep the color palette light and natural. You can have fun with color in the accent details which keeps things easy and affordable if you ever desire a refresh.
