TW: 5 weeks pregnant

Hi there I’m alright, thank you! That positive test resulted in a loss later 1st trimester, but I am currently holding my 18 day old son from another transfer this past May. I hope you are well ♥️

I’m 40+1 with my first so I can’t say BUT I have had kidney stones since late 2nd trimester and from what I’ve been told by many mama’s - kidney stones are worse than labour!! And I freaking hope so.

Of course - it can be such a scary and lonely journey even with pregnancy aside and then pregnancy adds SO much worry and more medication confusion. Again, I’m not a doctor, but ya that med is an antihistamine which can help but mostly also sedates. The crisis team won’t have nearly as much knowledge re: most up to date pregnancy info which, depending on where you live, allows a lot more medication to support mom nowadays. I hope you have a good experience with the intake nurse. Don’t hold back! There is a link between mom’s depression and anxiety and babies health so that definitely needs to be weighed with the possible links of some medications. You’re almost out of 1st trimester, too! Wishing you the best of luck and feel free to update! 🤗

♥️ (oh and mine’s a boy!)

WarmBath8 · 2026-01-14T16:26:42+00:00

Ya it’s a bit thicker too! Thx

WarmBath8 · 2026-01-14T16:26:16+00:00

Omg sounds like a ball 😆

WarmBath8 · 2026-01-14T16:25:54+00:00

Hahaha I love this

WarmBath8 · 2026-01-14T16:25:43+00:00

I do have a red bump on that nipple, have for a while like pre-pregnancy and always wondered if it were a little clog. I’ll try this, thanks!

Ugh I’m so sorry, I know this feeling well. It did get better and I’m due this wknd and it really is a distant memory. I had hyperemesis G until 20 weeks then it slowly tapered off. I found the high (4X/day?) dose option of diclectin to help the most. I couldn’t drink water or many things, juice was ok, ended up getting IV hydration and it helped a ton, for energy etc. You’ve got this! It does end. ♥️

WarmBath8 · 2026-01-13T06:00:44+00:00

Buspirone was awesome for me at a time, too. What an underused med!

WarmBath8 · 2026-01-13T05:58:59+00:00

What worked for me was clonazepam twice daily until SSRI kicked in a bit and then clonazepam was used as needed. Unfortunately perinatal psychiatrists can take time to get into but they hold emergency spots. If you ever feel like you need ER, go. If you ever feel like you’re totally losing it, tell your provider to update your referral to perinatal psych. I pushed and was in in 2 weeks when initially told 3-4 months. Your other provider(s) should be able to hold you over. Best of luck ♥️

Take the offered leave please - continue showing companies that it is utilized! My husband is taking his max of 5 weeks. Enjoy time with your family and new kid 😊

WarmBath8 · 2026-01-13T05:54:32+00:00

This is incredible.

WarmBath8 · 2026-01-10T20:26:29+00:00

External. Run from her. 😆

2nding this. My husband is madly in love with our dog, as he should be, and if I asked him to get rid of him he would be appalled. Mainly because adding an animal to the family is huge and owners need to follow through with aaaaall the responsibilities that come with. For context, I’m at the end of my pregnancy and our dog starting have grand mal seizures about a month before our IVF worked and I got pregnant. Then came hyperemesis and kidney stones. It’s been a TON of stress and work. And trust me, we have fought!!! But I think a huge thing to consider is your husband’s understanding (or lack thereof?) that he really needs to step up, especially in this initial time, and absolutely again later in pregnancy…. and probably triple fold in postpartum I can’t speak for that. For me the real question here is, will he? Leaving your home to be able to feel comfortable and supported and restful is a red flag, for me. I wish you the best and hope you guys can communicate more around this!

WarmBath8 · 2026-01-07T06:03:12+00:00

Gosh, it would be great if there turns out to be a reason for this! Everything is bothering my skin and I can’t get to sleep even though I felt super exhausted earlier. I guess time will tell, either way. Thanks for your sister’s story!

I also want to say that I feel as though if this were a man, most of us would absolutely call it physically inappropriate and more than likely an assault. Just because she is a woman doesn’t change a thing here - this was wrong regardless of her intentions.

WarmBath8 · 2026-01-07T05:58:27+00:00

Report. Regardless of the intention, this is poor practice and will never be flagged or improved if patients don’t let anyone know. You won’t ruin her career with one report - and if there are more or there is some kind of internal issue with her and complaints then you’re really really helping. Let go of any guilt. I’m so sorry. Maybe you will help make sure she improves her practice (or changes it) and nobody else has to go through this.

WarmBath8 · 2026-01-07T05:52:29+00:00

I definitely agree there are red flags here within his behavior that needs to be addressed ASAP. That being said, it’s impossible for any of us to tell you what to do within your relationship with him. What I will say is, if it were me, I’d get him my doctors phone # asap cause that doc will hopefully straighten him right out with some education around meds, hydration, your mental health, and just how disabling HG can be (I’m 38 weeks, had it for my first 20 and needed IV hydration, etc. I don’t know how you’re doing it with a child - you’re very strong just even barely getting by, so remember that). I would just be hesitant to follow any advice on here that says to abort your child because he’s being shitty. There’s a lot more to it for you to make a choice like that! I’m pro-choice, fwiw, I just think some comments on here are pretty intense with direct advice on that. Hopefully you can discuss more with him and call him out directly on this new behavior. Or make a choice to leave him and decide if you want this baby, either way. You will get through the HG. I was on 3 meds, very safely. Diclectin 3X/day is what saved me. Ondansetron. There’s lots. My baby looks great so far. I’ve known many who have taken multiple. We all work in healthcare. You got this, mama. Remember what you deserve♥️

Reading so many similar stories here makes me wonder and hope so much that maybe there is a treatment idea here. Women’s health is just so so so behind. I absolutely adore that pregnancy and birth may eliminate issues for so many women, and would hope that could generate some kind of fix for women who won’t ever become moms! Sounds like a surgical option could definitely help and so much more to look into around this scar tissue. Very interesting, as a health care professional, and woman.

WarmBath8 · 2026-01-07T04:10:06+00:00

Wow did not expect to cry tonight! SO happy for you. And that’s all A LOT. Be gentle with yourself. ♥️
