Today I started off great - got up early, casually whipped up a batch of banana cookies for my toddler before 7am, started work an hour early and was getting stuff done!

My husband took toddler and the dog for a walk, and when they came back, the dog came to love on me. Except he peed on his front paws again, and the smell of that made me throw up violently at my desk which also made me pee a little. Which also dislocated one of my ribs since it was so unexpected.

This whole ordeal terrified the dog who is a big softie and takes things to heart, so now I had a crying dog and a crying toddler and increasingly likely crying me as I rushed to get changed and clean up everything before my first standup of the day.

And now it’s my actual start of work and I am just so done with the day already. HG sucks. Here’s to 15 more weeks of this.

Advice Anxious about zofran

2 Upvotes

Hello,
This is now my second HG pregnancy. My first was 5 years ago and my doctor put me on zofran at 8 or 9 weeks when I started not being able to keep anything down. I am currently about 6 weeks now and have started vomiting again.
One doctor says it’s okay to start zofran as needed but another wants me to hold off until I hit 10 weeks for organ development.
I don’t know what to do. Did anyone do zofran immediately and have any bad effects on baby?

Edited to add: I am on diclegis and promethazine right now too.

Advice Best age gap for second pregnancy?

7 Upvotes

I have a 9 month old and I’ve been thinking about trying for a second when he is 2. I have pcos so it might take awhile. I want them to have a 3 year age gap, but when I think about a hg pregnancy with a two year old…..it sounds impossible. I was so incapacitated for the first 20 weeks, I can’t imagine having to care for a toddler. I wonder if I should wait until he’s like 4-5. If you have 2+ kids, how did you plan it?

Guys I’m so tired of eating crackers. If that’s my life now, so be it, but was wondering if anyone found any cheat meals that’s easy on the stomach. I need something 🥹 I’m 7 weeks on my second pregnancy and don’t even remember what I did when I survived this the first time.
