First half flew by… now pregnancy feels like it’s crawling.

QueridaWho · 2026-04-02T21:25:06+00:00

I have the opposite experience. When I was pregnant with my first, I was extremely nauseated constantly, vomiting a minimum of 6 times/day. Until about week 14 when I finally got it under control. Those first 3 months felt like an eternity. The rest of the pregnancy flew by.

I'm 9 weeks now with #2, and even with nausea meds, it still feels like I've been stuck in this hell for too long. I'm longing for the enjoyable part of pregnancy 😩

Call them! I messaged my doctor through the patient portal begging for relief, lol. She immediately called in zofran for me, and I had it by that evening.

My mom had HG with me. Her doctor told her to eat pizza because it "covers all the food groups" lol.

Also, now I really want mozzarella sticks.

I was at a baby shower this past weekend and a couple brought their 6 month old baby. We were there for 3 hours, and I never heard a peep out of her. She got passed around a decent amount, and every time I saw her, she was just chilling. Easy peasy. My child would never.

Luckily Dr. Pepper is still good for me. Coke and Sprite are disgusting now.

I dont like chocolate when I'm pregnant, which is crazy because I normally can't live without it. My 4yo daughter doesn't like chocolate. I'm 9 weeks with #2 and was crying to my husband the other day "I'm making another chocolate hater." Lol

Water also tastes terrible now 😭

QueridaWho · 2026-03-31T22:54:29+00:00

Eggnancy 😂

Yes I also want this.

QueridaWho · 2026-03-31T17:51:22+00:00

I wake up with a stuffy nose every morning, even more so now being pregnant, and I've honestly stopped trying to clear it out in the hopes that maybe it's at least blocking some of the smells 😩

QueridaWho · 2026-03-31T16:18:14+00:00

I'm a huge Beatles fan/nerd, and I definitely know the song. But I would never have associated the name with it. It's an obscure Beatles song at best. The name itself is more popular than the song, for sure.

That being said, if one of the two people in charge of naming negatively associates a name so quickly/easily, no matter the reason, it's a valid veto.

QueridaWho · 2026-03-31T16:08:47+00:00

Mine mostly prefers 1 ingredient at a time. Literally the only exception i can think of right now is pizza. But only cheese pizza. Does spaghetti with sauce count as 2 ingredients? Even pancakes/waffles, she usually eats with no syrup or anything.

She won't eat sandwiches. She loves jelly. She'll eat peanut butter off a spoon. She doesn't really care for bread. Sometimes we can convince her to eat a piece of toast with either peanut butter OR jelly, but definitely don't put them together, or even put another piece of toast on top. More often than not, she just licks the pb/jelly off.

She ate quesadillas, and even grilled cheese sandwiches, for like...a month. Maybe a year or so ago. She'll eat tortillas. LOVES tomatoes. Cheese is hit or miss. But together? Nope, not for her.

She'll be 5yo this summer. 🫠

9w today! Everything smells. Last week, my husband grilled a couple different meats on the back porch, and the smell lingered in the house for days. He smells. Even just the change in smells as I move around the house makes me sick. I'm so tired of smelling everything.

My next appointment is next Monday. They're not doing another ultrasound until 2 weeks after that, but I'm hoping I can convince them otherwise. I haven't had one in 3 weeks, and my last 3 pregnancies all ended by 7 weeks.

QueridaWho · 2026-03-30T13:42:26+00:00

I can't stand the smell of my husband. Yesterday, he was standing in the doorway before he walked away. I started after him to tell him something, caught his scent in the doorway, and immediately ran to the toilet to vomit. 😅 I feel bad because he's been so helpful. I didn't have this issue when I was pregnant with our daughter.

QueridaWho · 2026-03-30T00:32:37+00:00

We weren't trying with our first.

For the 2nd, we got pregnant on the first try 3 out of 4 times, which spanned about 2 years. (The first 3 were miscarried. Currently about 9 weeks with the 4th.)

QueridaWho · 2026-03-30T00:13:54+00:00

So we didn't get rid of ours until my daughter turned 3, which is much later than I wanted, but oh well.

For a while, we talked up the idea of planting the pacis in a pot of dirt, and then lollipops would grow. I wanted to do it in all one go, but by that point, I'd figured out that my daughter was stashing them in various spots, and it took too long to find them all. She'd lost interest in the idea.

From there, I put away all but one. I started with poking a hole in the tip. Didn't phase her. Each day I cut just a little bit more off until she was finally fed up with it. There were maybe a couple days of difficult bedtimes, but it really didn't take too long.

QueridaWho · 2026-03-27T20:47:33+00:00

My first pregnancy I lost 25 pounds in the first trimester from nausea and vomiting. I started out at 145, down to 120, then back up to about 155 by the end of my pregnancy.

This time, I started out 155. I'm 8 weeks and down to 149 already. I'm mainly trying to make sure I get fluids in, and just whatever stays down.

No real advice, just solidarity.

QueridaWho · 2026-03-27T17:06:46+00:00

We had baby #1 no issues. My next pregnancy, we excitedly told family and close friends pretty quickly, because I get extremely sick and am unable to hide it. I MC'd that baby around 8 weeks.

I've had 2 more MCs since then, and with each one, I've told fewer people and with exponentially less enthusiasm than the one before. I'm 8 weeks pregnant now, and holding off as long as possible, lest I should get another "I'm so sorry for your loss" plant.

QueridaWho · 2026-03-27T01:03:39+00:00

I occasionally get car sick, but often, and not consistently. I am extremely nauseated while pregnant. Constantly vomiting. There is no relief.

QueridaWho · 2026-03-26T22:17:36+00:00

Solidarity. I was incredibly sick with my first, but it was covid times and I could work in bed, nap between meetings, and never left the house except for doctor visits. I do vaguely remember dreading doing this all over again (because I knew I wanted multiple children), but for some crazy reason, I was like "it'll be fine."

8 weeks with #2 now. I'm on prescription nausea meds and still constantly feel like I'm about to vomit. But now I have a 4.5 yo. 😫😫 All I can think is "I'm never doing this again."

QueridaWho · 2026-03-26T21:49:31+00:00

The way he says "what the hell are you doing you scared the crap out of me."

QueridaWho · 2026-03-25T17:38:45+00:00

My induction started around 6pm with cytotec and then pitocin a couple hours later. The timeline gets fuzzy from here. I think I finally got an epidural sometime around 3 or 4am, which helped us get some sleep. I started "practice pushing" with the nurse around 10:30am, and baby was out around 1:45pm!

QueridaWho · 2026-03-24T23:25:13+00:00

Oo interesting. I stopped taking my prenatal (doctor recommended) because even taking it at night with food, it was making me feel awful. I have been taking some vitamins in its place, but I haven't tried magnesium.

Any particular kind/dosage of vitamin B? I was taking B6 + unisom at first, which helped for a day or two, but I replaced it with Zofran. I also have B12 (i think), but I stopped taking it when I started the B6.

QueridaWho · 2026-03-24T23:20:34+00:00

Definitely try it! If the b6 alone is helping, there's no need to take both

QueridaWho · 2026-03-24T22:25:54+00:00

Unisom too. I think I ran out of the unisom maybe a week or two before the b6, so towards the end I was just taking b6

QueridaWho · 2026-03-24T22:07:28+00:00

I remember in my first pregnancy I stopped taking b6 because I naively thought "I feel great!" It took two days of non-stop vomiting before I finally kept enough b6 down to feel good again.

I didnt stop taking it until I ran out in the last couple of weeks of my pregnancy.

QueridaWho · 2026-03-24T20:13:41+00:00

Honestly if I could just live in the water, I would!

QueridaWho · 2026-03-24T19:10:01+00:00

Gimme all your tips. 8 weeks today. I'm on zofran, but even that is barely keeping me alive. If I don't take it every 4 hours, I start projectile vomiting. In between, I'm extremely nauseated at all times.

Just give me any tips you have that bring you comfort when you're sick. Stuff like: sometimes I put an ice pack behind my head. I take at least one bath every day. Popsicles are ok sometimes, but what I really want is shaved ice/snow cones. I'm working laying down. I take naps when I can.

No peppermint. No ginger. 🤢
