So, I have to share my disappointment. I ordered sea bands and received them yesterday. I tried them one as per instructions and they made me feel worst. I saw an immediate difference when I took them off. My H also tried them and they made him feel sick. At least the preggoe candy and the gin gin are kind of working.
I felt like crap with morning. Breakfast was ginger ale and toast. Feeling better for now. Yesterday I was a hot mess. I actually fell asleep at my desk for about 10 minutes.

For me, the seabands worked for motion sickness but when I tried the set we bought for our cruise last week it made it worse.
I'm really surprised SeaBands made it worse for you sodapop and pismoduo. Not sure I've heard of that happening before.
I've been wearing mine all day every day and I'm not sure if I've just been lucky and haven't dealt with too much m/s anyway or if they're actually really working for me. Haven't been willing to skip a day without them to find out.

Yea, it's weird. I was feeling nauseous, so I put them on. The nausea just got worse and worse and they were kind of itchy so I took them off and almost instantly the nausea died down by about half.
It's fine. I'll just keep my jolly ranchers and gum.

Hoping everyone else's nausea behaves for the rest of the day! I almost tossed my cookies this morning after coughing. I keep telling myself the day will go by quick, but it's not even 10am here.
I'm home sick from work today. I went yesterday and by the end of the 12 hour shift I was a zombie. I'm sure my patients appreciated my sexy raspy voice too. This cold is kicking my ass.
H is getting sick. Last night we were both a mess, so we decided to be parents of the year and give DS the phone to play with so we could rest on the couch. SNS.
MH and I switched our family insurance before the enrollment dates closed with Covered California and our new insurance took effect yesterday (2/1). So I am with Kaiser again and did in-take appointment even after I told them I was already seen by another doctor and was under Kaiser care with my last 3 pregnancies.
I went for lab work yesterday. I have my ultrasound scheduled for today at 10.
Last night I was half asleep but still in a dream and in the dream I was getting the ultrasound and the doctor told me that there wasn't a heartbeat. I woke up to cramping and I'm trying my best to just be calm. The cramps are gone now and there's no bleeding but that definitely freaked me out. I can't wait to be at the point in the pregnancy were the miscarriage rate is significantly lower.

Sorry about the dream Cocomama. Good luck at your u/s today. I hope you have a wonderful appointment that pushes all thoughts of that nightmare out of your head!

Hope you have a fabulous u/s, Cocomama! FX for feeling better to everyone struggling with nausea. I'm still so early (5+4) and really insecure in my lack of symptoms (just sore boobs so far) that I almost wish I had nausea because it would make me less anxious about this pregnancy (I know, be careful what you wish for, right?)

my eyes are bigger than my stomach. I stocked up at the salad bar (and added some yummy Asian apps to my lunch.) I've eaten the potstickers and eggroll and I'm full. Guess I'm putting the salad in the fridge until later.

You aren't alone. I feel the same!
My thoughts exactly! I was weirdly relieved when my boobs started aching. Breastfeeding is now a mild form of torture, but maybe less so than the anxiety of waiting?

This is me lately. We had a coupon for a free pizza so we ordered this weekend and I was like "let's also get wings! And cheese bread!" I ate like two wings, a piece of cheesebread, and no pizza.

Nausea here too, but that's about it. I am still tired AF.
I had my first appointment yesterday. I got to hear the heartbeat and they did a vaginal US. The baby is about the size of a raspberry. DH and I were in a really good mood after. It's the same as it was last time, it feels more real now.
I need to figure out this whole midwife thing though. I want to break up with my OB and have a home birth. I am worried about the cost though. I think once I have more info on what is covered on my insurance, I will feel better about this decision. Until then, I am just going to keep seeing my OB.
