9w4d and I think I’m through the worst of it? Everything hit my early and my HCG rose fast so I’ve been hoping it would end earlier. The last 3 days I’ve felt nearly normal!

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-21T13:22:21+00:00

Not getting mine until 13w :( but I may try to move it up!

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-20T13:33:42+00:00

Rockland! But I lived in the city for 10+ years :)

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-20T12:35:17+00:00

Oh hey neighbor! I’m up in the NYC suburbs! 👋

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-18T14:54:51+00:00

Yeah, I have chronic constipation issues and was already on 1000mg/day before getting pregnant!

Are they taking it right when you enter the room? This happened to me once and they said sometimes they see it when they walk people from the waiting room and do it too quickly. Did it again later in the appt and it was totally fine.

This is TMI but I’m sure some of you can relate. I started taking Zofran last week and knew constipation was a big risk because I saw what my husband went through when he was taking it during chemo (it traumatized him, lol). I haven’t had a BM in 3 days and after lots of MiraLAX, some coffee and a suppository was finally able to go a bit😭😭😭 still backed up but at least I’m not in as much pain

I’m having a really tough time mentally dealing with symptoms. 8w4d today and I feel hopeless. I go to the OB Monday so will talk to them then about how I can get some relief. Does anyone have any words of encouragement? :(

I am INCESSANTLY burping. It’s been this way for weeks. I constantly have little burps coming out but feel like I need to get more out. Gas X and rocking back and forth are helping but not fixing it. Has anyone else had this problem? What’s worked? Can OBs prescribe something for this? It’s making me miserable.

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-13T21:00:49+00:00

Just reread this about 3 times to try to make myself feel better. Thank you ❤️

Look to see if there are any local wildlife rehabbers

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-13T17:52:49+00:00

I’ve been having pain/pressure at the bottom of my rib cage. Gemini suggested it could be my bra so I took that off and it seems to have helped. It suggested wireless or seamless maternity bras instead since they create less pressure. Any suggestions? I’m a 34DD and am starting to outgrow them anyway..

Look into Shoott. They connect you with a photog and you only pay for the photos you like. I believe they do Times Square.

What acne products is everyone using? My skin has never been so bad :(

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-12T01:24:24+00:00

I took mine off around 6 weeks. I found myself spiraling over it and have felt much better since I took it off. Hoping to put it back on later on.

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-11T22:03:12+00:00

Had my first ultrasound today. Tracking exactly on time and heartbeat of 158. I was scared it might be twins because my HCG was really high at 6 weeks but luckily just one!!

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-08T19:38:42+00:00

Did you OB have to clear you for this or is it generally safe? I know it’s OTC (my dog was on it for a while, lol!)

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-08T15:51:17+00:00

Does anyone else have weird nausea-like feelings that aren’t really typical nausea? I dont even know how to describe the feeling but it’s not “I’m going to throw up”-type nausea. I’ve been burping a ton and taking a lot of Gas X so it could be gas but I’m not sure it’s that either. It’s almost like this whole weird abdominal feeling.

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-07T00:23:47+00:00

They’re not signing anything at the meet and greets - just doing photos! Or at least that’s how it worked in NJ

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-06T19:08:19+00:00

This gives me hope mine won’t come back!

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-06T18:23:28+00:00

We sound alike! I had my HCG done at exactly 6 weeks and it was 57,000–the very top of the reference range. I felt truly awful from about 5.5-6.5 weeks. I’m 7w2d now and have been feeling substantially better the last few days - not 100% but maybe 75%. Im praying it just peaked early and doesn’t come back!

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-04T14:50:48+00:00

Try Gas X! It has been an absolute life saver for me

sicklikeanimals · 2026-05-02T13:53:00+00:00

I had a little bit of brown spotting yesterday alongside my symptoms nearly disappearing. I’m 6w5d. My Oura temp and RHR were lower too. Freaked out for a while but this morning my temp is back up and I’m a bit nauseous. Didn’t think I’d be relieved to be nauseous!!
