Re: Managing Pregnancy...symptoms

Anyone had spotting or light bleeding in their early pregnancy? I had it in previous pregnancy but this time around everything seemed good, as I was in 8th week and nothing. Maybe I jinxed myself, but right now I just started spotting and I am totally freaked out. I left a message for my doctor to call me back & just waiting nervously. Please make dua for me.

I'm in the same boat. Plus with all the 24/7 nausea, I also have serious gas issues. My ob says it's prolly due to lactose intolerance, but I am a milk lover and never had issues before.

Anyone has any remedies for that? I can't sleep at night. and no, I aint eating spicy foods, or beans or anything of that sort. If I mistakenly (or my hsuband) put my hand on my tummy during sleep, it's a nightmare. It hurts like anything and Im still unable to find a comfortable position to sleep in. on the stomach, on the back, on the sides, nothing seems to work.

lemonade works for me during these spasms. as for diclectin, I was taking almost 4 a day but the prob is that theyre HIGHLY sleep activating. I take one and Ive trouble keeping my eyes open so Ive cut down on those too.

Also, do you like sweet/sour fruits like peaches n plums? I eat those a lot too. and the sourpatch kids also work for me but they have a lot of sugar, so Ive stopped taking those too.

afro: u can get medicine thru ure doc to help u with ure nausea and throwing up... if its excessive to the point that u are going hungry for days and cant keep anything down...

spotting from what i have read is normal but shouldnt last too long nor should turn into bleeding... good to get it checked out.

congrats to both u and sadia!

i hate this doctor...i was in the process of looking for a new doctor.....but anyways....
Let's see what happens. Allah knows best. I am so anxious right now. I know better not to panic, but still panicking a little.

Re: Managing Pregnancy...symptoms

hello

I had some very though days and they are still not over.

I got sick, went to the hospital and they asked if I wanted to stay for some days, as I didnt keep anything inside, I refused even though I was about to collasp out of pain/exhaustation. Good that I didnt stay as that night my daughter got sick too, she was crying, i was still in pain, but thank God I had this fever/pain childern sirup at home, so I gave it to her and finally she was able to sleep for few hours.

I am still vomiting and not eating much, I have lost 8-9 pounds already, its so hard to eat that I force myself and still it doesnt stay down much. I too have some gas problem. The only thing I can eat at the moment is apple.

Its totally depressing for me to go through this as the first pregnancy I was too vomiting but not to this extend that I am totally out of power and motivation. No end of the tunnel at the moment.

Afro, hope everything is ok with you. I was given some drops, that temporary helped me, but I have decided not to take them anymore.

bhenjee, feel your pain.

Re: Managing Pregnancy...symptoms

that sounds pretty bad saadia.. why dont u ask ure doc to give u some anti nausea medicine.. its safe and wont harm the baby.

I was given some anti nausea drops that I did take, it helped to some extend but not fully, when the pressure is up in the stomach only vomiting it out helps.
