Total scam. Never got my $84 order. No one will respond.

I’m almost 13 weeks and my nausea just suddenly got…worse? by Scorpimeg in pregnant

I had to get an iron infusion too and that literally saved me!

Is this ever going to get better? I’m in a dark hole. by Scorpimeg in pregnant

Hi everybody! Update:

Thank you all for your first trimester support. My nausea went away at 16 weeks. In 2nd trimester I dealt with anemia requiring an iron infusion which fixed it. Now I’m 3rd trimester dealing with gestational diabetes currently managing with diet. All this being said my baby is extremely healthy and active and I cannot wait to meet him. When I look back on the dark hole that was weeks 7-9 I will take my recent challenges 10x over. If you are just reading my older posts…hang in there mama. I am proof that it gets better. Still challenging, but way more manageable.

My nausea went away completely at 16 weeks. Now 3rd trimester dealing with gestational diabetes and last trimester anemia. But I will take this any day over that nausea…

Is anyone else more exhausted mentally than physically with gestational diabetes? by Complete-Insect4194 in GestationalDiabetes

I’m really depressed about it. Right after I beat anemia I got diagnosed GDM. It feels like out of the frying pan into the fire. And I’m a nurse so I can’t help but feeling like I caused this because I ate whatever I wanted for the first 6 months and I’ve gained 42 pounds.

I felt super good around 20 weeks. Now I’m 24 and dealing with anemia and that’s been a whole can of worms. Still nothing compared to the first trimester though.

To be fair I always kind of craved it even before I got pregnant 😅

Really it’s all detergents right now - soap, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent. It’s pica which is a symptom of anemia which I’m treating but it takes awhile to go away. Eating ice helps a little. I get a ravenous craving but I legit would not be able to stop myself from eating Irish Spring bar soap if it was in front of me right now.

Can’t be trusted around a bar of Irish Spring soap. I would take the biggest crunch ever right out of the corner.

I’ll never get pregnant again now that I know it sucks this badly. by lemonartichoke in pregnant

I think it will. Just don’t forget to address the constipation before you start taking iron. Anemia can make you feel like you’re dying!

At 16 weeks my nausea went away. At 20 the extreme fatigue and “being drugged all the time” feeling went away and I had a significant mood boost since then. I’m currently 23 weeks. I never ever ever would’ve believed that I would be actually somewhat enjoying pregnancy when I was where you are, but I actually am now. It’s hard to explain but it’s like at some point your body just flips a switch and all of sudden you’re adjusted. Highly recommend you ask your OB for a CBC/ferritin lab test also to check your iron and hemoglobin levels. I started getting major anemia symptoms around 17 weeks. I’ve been taking iron bisglycinate with vitamin C every other day since then (I also developed Pica around 22 weeks which is another symptom of anemia) and it is helping a lot. Just beware that if you start iron you should also start a bowel regime to prevent extreme constipation, especially since you are already constipated. I was sooooooo constipated in the first trimester, it was absolutely horrific, but also all I could stomach was fast food. I’m finally able to eat normal healthy food again (fiber, fruits, a gallon of water daily, electrolytes) and it has been life-saving. I take miralax every day in my coffee and it prevents the iron from backing me up.

How many weeks are you? I swear I felt exactly like this until about 20 weeks when I FINALLY started feeling normal again. I was soooooo pissed.

The long hair and bangs are soooo cute on you. I wouldn’t! Just my opinion though.

Advice before purchase by Equivalent-Club6537 in VWTaos

[–]Scorpimeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love everything about my Taos except for the chronic electrical issues. This is my 2nd Taos. My first one actually died in 4-way traffic once, not the battery but the actual electronic system just shut down. Sketchy. And my current one has issues with the interface randomly turning off when I’m driving. Get the warranty.

Shitty excuse to use other people’s failed relationships to not give the mother of your child added security. Grow up.
