did anyone else get increasingly sick as their first trimester got further along? I was fine until…

Yep. 8 weeks I was hospitalized from being so sick and dehydrated. I was prescribed promethazine and it really helped. But between the weeks 8-12 I was the worst.

omg I'm so not excited @klove2016 I'm supposed to be traveling next week too.. flying like this is going to be miserable

I'm 8 weeks and feelin it (nausea, sleepy all the time, uncomfortable) and subchronic hemorrhage going on + pelvic rest 😪

Oh man @krystalft.two that sounds horrible

@jsco, take some benidryl. The medicine I was prescribed was the same chemical. It really helps!! See if you get some relief from that... It's one of the safe medicines approved for pregnancy.

I'll definitely try that, anything that might help lol @klove2016

I mean there's a whole bunch of other more natural things you can try also.. But they never helped me.

I'd rather just try things that actually worked for people lol instead of wasting money on a billion different things @klove2016

@jsco, yeah. That's how I was lol. I was so miserable. I finally broke down and went to the hospital because I threw up from 11pm to 7am one night. And it wasn't stopping. I felt so weak, and on deaths door. Thankfully I went, got iv fluids, and they prescribed me the promethazine. It was a life saver! I also we prescribed vitafol nano prenatals. They have much less iron than most prenatals. Which was another factor why I was getting sick so much. I couldn't handle all the artificial iron. So they give those to women's in their first trimester so it's not hard on their bellies.

yep I actually got really really sick around then. I had to be on a zofran pump for a month. my sickness has been gone for a month but it's starting to come back

omg that sounds so miserable @klove2016 I wonder if my prenatals is my issue too

It could be! @jsco defiantly contributing to it maybe. Most prenatals have over 25mg of iron. These only have 18mg. If you get the vitafol nano, just take a DHA pill with them. Because they don't have it in them. The vitafol nano are tiny too. About the size of a birth control pill. I tried taking the vitafol ultra when I was past my morning sickness stage, becuase they have DHA in them, but I felt to crapy after taking them so had to go back to the vitafol nano ones.

I'll definitely ask about that at my next appointment! thank you so much! @klove2016
