What are we actually getting down through morning sickness that’s really more like all day sickness?

I don’t actually throw up (just feel like I’m going to constantly) and all food sounds and tastes horrible, but I keep choking it down for the sake of eating (and to avoid the awful crampy nausea I get when my stomach is too empty) but it feels like no matter how much I eat or drink I’m just a hungry, stomach grumbling, nauseous mess all day.

How do you cope with being hungry all the time to the point of nausea when no food sounds or tastes decent? I feel like I’m just torturing myself every time I try to eat 😂 at this rate this baby is going to be made out of chips, fast food burgers, water, and dreams 😭

I had a small SCH, about blueberry sized, at a 6w2d scan where baby had a heartbeat of 105 and was measuring well at 6 weeks. I’ve never had an SCH before but have had an 18 week MMC so this is my rainbow baby and I’m obviously a touch anxious. That baby was also a 1st cycle try and this one took 18 cycles.

My doctors said to just carry on as usual with no restrictions. No pelvic rest, no lifting issues, sex is fine. I feel like everything I’ve read about SCH before says to take at least some precautions. Has anyone else just carried on as usual or been told to? How did it go for you?

My firstborn in 2024 was a 1st cycle conception, and an 18 week MMC. She tested and scanned perfectly multiple times, and never found out why she died.

I’m now 7 weeks pregnant with her little sibling, who took 18 cycles to conceive, and I’m trying very hard to let go of the anxiety because what happened last time was so uncommon, and the odds of a healthy pregnancy are much greater than a loss at this point because I had slow but still good line progression, doubling hcgs, and saw a heartbeat of 105 at a 6 week reassurance scan. I don’t have any worrying symptoms either, just nausea and the odd cramp/general discomfort.

Even with all of that on my side, I still can’t help but being nervous. I’m not good with the unknown so just trusting that everything is going well has been really hard for me. I also have a small SCH this time which I didn’t have before so that’s uncharted territory for me. My doctor said not to worry about it and just carry on as usual but that seems stressful.

Hope you’re all having nice, calm weekends and not overthinking like I’m sometimes guilty of 😅

I booked a massage for this week months ago, before getting pregnant. Now I’ll be 6 weeks when it happens. I’ve had 1 loss before, an 18 week MMC for unknown reasons.

Has anyone gotten any advice from their doctors about massage safety in the 1st tri?

My 1st pregnancy ended in a MMC at 18 weeks. That time they were concerned about ectopic so I had lots of early scans and it comforted me to know she was growing in the right place, had an early heartbeat detected, was doing well, even if things ended sadly (for unknown reasons)

This is my 2nd pregnancy and this time they want me to wait until 8 weeks for the 1st scan. I’m only 5 1/2 weeks now so that wait seems like forever. They keep telling me to trust my body and that things are happening like they should but that’s really hard to do after what I’ve been through.

This baby also took 18 months to conceive so that adds an extra layer of anxiety. I’m trying really hard not to give into it, but honestly it kind of freaks me out not knowing how things are going in there, especially after a MMC.

I know I’m probably safely out of chemical territory because I’ve had a dye stealer and good line progression and good hcg levels and doubling times, but I also know all about ectopics and blighted ovums and MMC and I don’t know if I can make it another 2 1/2 weeks not knowing if baby is at least in the right spot/starting to develop properly.

Is there anyone else in the same boat? I don’t have any bad symptoms or anything but I didn’t last time either and things still ended in MMC. I know most things like that are out of my control but I also know stress is bad for me and for the baby so I’m trying hard not to focus on the what ifs… but way easier said than done!

What would you do or what did you do if you were in this position? Did you just trust and wait? Did you get an early boutique scan if your doctors wouldn’t order one? I know those aren’t as advanced so did it just make your anxiety worse?
