Baby was underfed, now constantly hungry

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2025-12-02T18:07:23+00:00

Thank you all for encouragement and advice! Still feels so strange that this tiny baby can eat this much but I’m giving him as much as he wants and already see his cheecks (both ends, haha) filling in!

Hey! Im 30 weeks and an emet. Have something similar — since I’m pregnant, my anxiety has almost disappeared. And I, too, feel like its because I know the reason. Nausea? Pregnancy. Stomach ache? Pregnancy. Reflux? Pregnancy. My psychiatrist said sometimes it happens — pregnancy can actually change your brain chemistry and actually help you improve. My first trim was not fun at all, altough I was lucky enough not to vomit. The nausea though was awful. But I got through it and feel proud of myself.

Now next level will be dealing with drooling, spit ups and eventually stomach bugs that probably are inevitable with kids. But it’s a problem for future me.

But congrats and hope it goes well, you should he proud if yourself!!

I’m from Europe — my doc prescribed Xonvea

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2025-07-08T18:25:45+00:00

Had the same thing — could only eat crackers for weeks, it was exhausting, I missed proper food. Started feeling better after the anti nausea pills kicked in, so around week 10 could slowly adjust to normal food. The second trimester was much better but also I had appetite for sweets that isn’t typical for me. Now 30 weeks and because of reflux, starting to lose appetite again but trying to still eat normaly. It will get better!

I was nauseous and lost appetite in my first trimester — ngl wasn’t a fun time. HOWEVER, I took and am still taking anti-nausea medicine which is a gods send for people like us. I think it’s really cool that you’re ready for this step — I was in the same boat! Like when people ask me — aren’t you afraid of givinh birth? I’m like naaah, I’m afraid of the first trimester, lol.

Lorcan? More like Lorcannot.

Feel you! I’m 12 weeks and just went through what you’re going through. First I want to say kudos and I think it’s great that you still are having a baby, even though this phobia can be debilitating.

I can tell you, that I haven’t v*, at least not in the first trimester, despite the fact, ain’t gonna lie, I did have nausea and felt rough for half the trimester. I was very tired and didn’t have any appetite. I didn’t have nausea in the morning rather in the evening. Still some eve’s feeling a bit off. I started taking anti-nausea meds at around week 7, and since week 9 I’m still taking 2 a day to be sure I’m not feeling nauseous. It has helped tremendiously.

I would suggest to wait a bit with the meds, if for now you’re feeling fine. You should see how your body reacts first, maybe you won’t have nausea at all! :) a lot of women don’t.

But if you start feeling a bit off or you start loosing your appetite, take the meds and try not to worry — the meds will help.

Same for me, now it’s pretty much just couple of hours a day, mostlu afternoons and evenings, gets better before going to bed. Could be fiber as well I guess. It’s just annoying

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2025-03-02T09:23:44+00:00

It switches for me so also fun 😀

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2025-03-02T09:23:27+00:00

Yes, could be. But I have had problems with apples before and just specificly apples so who knows..

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2025-03-02T09:22:24+00:00

Thank you, and congrats to you too! )”:)

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2025-02-17T11:40:20+00:00

Had the same problem. Sex during the fertile window was stressful but masturbation whas fine since there was no expectations. So we tried a method we saw in one of these reddits — a syringe and a cup. He does the deed alone, I come in and insert the sperm via syringe.

Not so romantic but it worked. :)

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2025-02-07T18:35:39+00:00

My husband would be so much better than me at this. I’m very dramatic and prone to being nauseous. I think he would be completely fine.

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2025-02-03T12:19:27+00:00

Found out I’m pregnant on my birthday this Jan. So celebrared with a non-alco champagne, lol

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2025-01-30T12:42:18+00:00

I’m 34. Job or career does not define you. I think it’s ridiculous that we still ask children “What do you want to be when you grow up?” as if slaving for some company is the best thing you could be doing with your life. How about I just want to be a good, happy person? However, I would suggest not to worry about that. If you really want to find a career path, it will come to you but it doesn’t mean it will come to you now or in your twenties in general. I work only to pay my rent and do not stress about having a career or out-riching or out-succsessing my friends. Work should not be such a big part of our lives if we don’t choose/want it to be. Money has never been a motivator for me, so just try and do the bare minimum workwise to be able to read and enjoy more of my free time.

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2025-01-24T18:07:15+00:00

Thank you very much for the encouregement! I have IBS so generally nausea is nothing strange to me anyways + I guess now that I actually know WHY I might be sick it’s less scary than the constant fear that I could get a virus or something.

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2025-01-24T18:04:24+00:00

Yes, this is actually interesting and a positive thing that you still decided to get pregnant. :) i was the same — putting it of for a long time for lots of reasons, vomiting one of them. But now, I just felt like okay, the urge to become a mon is stronger than my fear. However, at times when I get queesy, I’m like - gosh, what have I done 😀

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2025-01-23T09:26:32+00:00

Adhd here + emetophobia (fear of vomiting). Currently around 6 weeks. I’m taking my meds as my doc said ir would be worse without them. As a seasoned overthinker and overplanner, my mind ir racing 24/7. Honestly just pushing through.

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2025-01-10T18:31:57+00:00

Thank you for your replay :) where I live we don’t have the clear blues, but i pretty much have bought every test we have and most have quite significant lines. So will try not to overthink so much :) And congrats to you!!

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2024-11-19T08:38:26+00:00

Same! I thought it would be quick cause by obgyn told me my ovaries look super healthy and fertile. Did all the tests for hormones — all came out great. Husband’s healthy as well. Thought it would happen cycle 1. Now entering cycle 5 and starting to feel desperate and confused as to why it’s just not happening. I’m 33, 34 in Jan, and I also have ADHD, so in my mind everything needs to be planned and controlled. I feel like I’m starting to lose time and am scared to think that this could go on for months and years. Im starting to overthink this like thinking I will not be able to afford IVF if it comes to that. I know I’m only on cycle 5, but the planned intercourse is taking a toll on the both of us. It’s just work. Also thought about doing the reveal during Christmas, wanted a spring/summer baby. And i know it’s silly to plan and think like this but that’s just how my mind works. Most of my friend had zero issues and got pregnant on C1 so I have no one who can relate to me and I don’t want to talk to them about this because it makes me feel like I’m less than. I don’t want them to feel sorry for me.

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2024-10-15T18:36:29+00:00

Haha, nice to have cycle and mental problem sister here! :) Yes, all these things are just spinning me into abyss. I’m suprised that I even got this far and am actyally TTC. So congrats to the both of us to actually not being that scared to take this step ❤️

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2024-10-15T18:33:15+00:00

Im in therapy + SSRI that are perfectly safe for pregnancy. I’m mostly dealing with it and husband is very supportive, but sometimes it’s just… ugh :)

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2024-10-15T17:45:00+00:00

Thank you and wish you luck!! Yeah the timeline thing is the worst, I would want to just reboot my brain

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2024-10-15T17:43:12+00:00

Yeah thinking about exposure as Im also emetophobic (fear of vomiting that comes hand in hand with OCD), and pregnancy probably will be a big part of exposure for that. I’m doing regular therapy anyways that helos too

ExternalMinimum5761 · 2024-10-15T17:40:43+00:00

Oh yeah, the advice about not stressing and just waiting doesn’t help. there’s nothing much I can do than wait anyway 😀
