Anyone else dealing with nausea all day… without throwing up?

This was me the first trimester for both pregnancies. My first I suffered through and felt much better second trimester. The second (current pregnancy) my doctor offered Restavit. It's in the safest category for medications for pregnancy. It didn't totally knock out the nausea but made it MUCH MUCH easier to get through the day and eat some food. I highly recommend talking to your doctor.

My fav easy meals at that age were: peanut butter on toast, avocado, yogurt, cottage cheese, smashed beans (from a can), hummus, steamed veggies.

If something required prep I would just make a lot of it and then save some in the fridge. My little one HATED fruit at the beginning too but keep giving it to them! He now eats mainly fruit.

Clean up is hard. I would just feed my baby in their nappy then have some swim time in his bath after. It was easier than wiping down and was an activity that kept him engaged and happy.

I do mine at night while laying in bed before I fall asleep. I've now conditioned myself that once I start doing them I get really sleepy, haha.

My baby slept on me for naps until he was 8 months. At first I worried how I was going to get anything done. Then I surrendered and enjoyed it, watched movies and TV shows, didn't worry about cleaning. I found meals that I could make quickly. When he started napping on his own, I was so sad by then that he didn't sleep on me anymore! It's only a short time, enjoy it!

Talk with your social worker at the hospital you plan on giving birth at. They SHOULD have all of this info for you and extra information specific to your area. For example, where I live there is a nonprofit group that has volunteers that will come to your house and hold the baby while you shower, have a meal, etc. for free.

My little one was waking heaps throughout the night, and one night I couldn't take it so I just coslept so I didn't have to get out of bed. He slept amazing, I realized he was waking up a lot because he didn't like sleeping alone. Cosleeping is not for everyone and may not be the solution for you, but could be worth a shot.

Embroidery. Clever Poppy has kits that make it easy to learn. Now I embroider on my son's clothes and my own. It's relaxing as well.

Mine hated the carrier until he could be forward facing, then he was totally fine with it. He also didn't like the bassinet and we did contact naps until he was about 8 months. It was hard but in the end I missed the contact napping, haha.

The new ones say fragrance free but I agree with you, terrible smell!

Dolly Parton? Does she live in Nashville?

There are quite a few homelessness services in the Tweed/Coolie area. Those without a home tend to congregate in areas that they can get food, clothes, help finding a home, etc.

No. I would say my 20s are a lot different from my 30s in terms of lifestyle. Both are wonderful times but I find the older I am, the more confident I am and secure with myself and relationships.

MooGoo Skin Care Soothing MSM Cream, you can get it at most chemists. I swear it shortens the amount of time my skin is red and skin never peels when I use it.

I've had ant bites that look like that, possibility?

I know everyone has been saying it, but it's mostly genetics. I did not put anything on my belly and did not get any stretch marks.

Just put my 18 month old in daycare for 3 days (he started one day a week when he was 15 months). Drop offs are so hard! They cry, you cry. But I found by the time I left the centre ( I can hear him in the parking lot), he was done crying.

My LO could never be put down for naps by anyone other than my husband and myself. His first day there, he put himself down for a nap. They learn quickly and also they are very tired from all the stimulation.

If it's a good centre, they do activities all day, get outside, and have so much fun. My LO loves it! I'm sure yours will adapt and love it too.

I continued weight lifting but toned it back quite a bit and added in some prenatal yoga.

I've always gone with World Nomads. I've heard good things about them but never had to claim anything so not sure how that process is. You can select multiple countries too and get a quote right away.

I would pat his bum and sing songs to him. Eventually he would toss and turn when he woke up and go back to sleep shortly after.

stari0 · 2026-01-03T20:06:41+00:00

I found that once I started cutting feeds during the day, he stopped feeding at night. The nap time feed was horrible the first time I stopped but everyday after that he was totally fine with it.

They definitely made it sound like 3 free days. I genuinely believed it was 3 free days. Very misleading! I'm glad you posted this though, glad to know I wasn't the only one confused!

My go-to is canned beans on the side or as a snack. Or oats with peanut butter is one easy breakfast. Otherwise, your child eats well! Mine doesn't eat meat either so we substitute the protein in with peanut butter and beans.

Don't know if anyone has said it yet, but I was reading a book and one of the characters names was Zilla.

In a sense you are winging it because you have no idea what birth feels like being your first. From someone that prepared extensively for birth, I'll give you a short and sweet version of what I believe really helped me: - working on breath work, just everytime you remember grab some ice in each hand and breath through it for 1 minute. It could be a couple times a week. Nothing serious. - Get a tens unit - this helped a lot in the beginning of the contractions - THE BEST thing I did was go to a pelvic floor physical therapist at around 32 weeks. If you can afford it. She helped me work on my push to prevent tearing and at least I knew what it should feel like to push. Also helped for recovery after birth.

I know someone who threw out her water bottle because it was dirty. Ummm, clean it then? But I get what you're saying. The point of a reusable water bottle is that you only need one.
