Got prescribed anti sickness tablets but I'm scared of taking anything

In terms of telling people about being pregnant ... It all depends on what stresses you out more. For instance, my close coworkers know because I'm obviously physically off and I'm eating/drinking totally different things. They were constantly bothering me about being pregnant so I told them in not so many words Yes, but please no more talking about it until 22 weeks. Lol

My doctor appointment went ok today. Could not get a good grasp on baby heartbeat ... It was hard to get a constant. Is that normal at 10 weeks? My doctor said "absolutely yes". She said my uterus is a great size. I should hear my results Monday from genetic test. Keep your fingers crossed.

Babyjan what is the medicine?

Lala that is normal if using Doppler. I actually don't like to Doppler patients less than 12-13 weeks.

 

[babyjan]

Sunup It's called cyclizine? Not sure if it's over in the USA

I'm feeling better tonight which scares me because as horrible as the sickness is it definitely reassures me. I also feel weird that few more people know about the pregnancy lol! Our secret is out.

I finally have my first midwife appointment for the 28th and the letter says my scan will be booked then! Praying it's not long after that because I need to know if everything is ok

My friend took zofran for MS and now a class action suit is against the company for birth defects. I would exhaust all natural remedies first. Personally I would only take the medicine if it was truly interfering with my ability to function. Right now I'm temporarily the primary bread winner so I have to go to work. Any day I use to stay home for MS is one day missing from my maternity leave. So if MS was making me miss too much work I would probably have to get medicinal help.

I woke up this morning with the thought, "I should try my doppler again" and then I remembered everything and started crying.

 

[mommyof2peas]

Aww navy Im so sorry.

 

[babyjan]

So sorry navy

 

[NavyLadybug]

How is everyone feeling today? Any appts/scans coming soon? Any genetics results coming in?

 

[SunUp]

FWIW, I used zofran and had a perfectly healthy baby. All options are worth discussing with the midwife/OB. I had hyperemesis with DS, so I was admitted with around the clock IV nausea meds/ fluids. My doctor actually told me it was better for me (and baby) to take the meds. I am taking Diclegis now and it is helping a ton. I can't function without it.

AFM, I have a scan Friday and "graduation" from the fertility clinic!

 

[NDTaber9211]

I'm so sorry navy

My next scan is Thursday.

 

[Lala77]

Thinking of you navy!!

 

[mommyof2peas]

I have a apt on tue. Im scared. My sickness isnt as bad but my boobies hurt still. I still gag a lot but it isnt the full body sickness that I used to have. I lost one at my first check up so Im scared to go. I hate that my last two pregnancies have taken away the fun and awe of early pregnancy.

 

[NavyLadybug]

I'm sure everything will be fine, Mommy! I'm sure bean is just waiting to show you they're little acrobatics!

 

[zmzerbe]

When is considered 2nd tri? 12 weeks or 13? or maybe 14? I can't remember to save my life. I feel like my uterus is definitely growing super fast, the top is already at my belly button.

 

[KozmikKitten]

Hey ladies - sorry I have been MIA because I've been off work and don't get on the computer much at home. I loved reading everyone's updates though!

Navy - I'm so sorry to hear of the traumatic hospital experience. I really hope you are feeling better or start to feel better (physically, of course) soon.

Anyone without symptoms - I'm in the same boat! I don't really have any symptoms. By the end of the day my boobs are slightly sore. But other than that, nothing.

I used my Doppler on Saturday at 9+1 and found baby's HB. My Doppler was reading in the upper 170's though. Seems kind of high but I know the reading is not always reliable. It was really great to hear that sound though.

 

[Sophie2015]

I have ZERO symptoms. Baby's HB at last 2 ultrasounds was 170 and 173. That was at 9+5 and 10+5 weeks. So I think your Doppler is correct.

My Dr says 2nd tri starts at 13 weeks exactly.

 

[NDTaber9211]

9 weeks today and I was able to calculate the heart rate at 175 from the doppler. Looks like everything is right on track 😁. Now to try and wait patiently for my next appointment on Thursday.

 

[NDTaber9211]

I found a chart that said hb at 9 weeks can be anywhere between 145-195 with 175 being average.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Glad you are finding HBs on dopplers (for those that have one)!!!

Didn't someone have a scan today?
