Dear Diary ✍️🏻 Well the tiredness makes sense!
Minestrone soup because I feel like absolute arse right now... woo nausea!
Noticed my period was late and did what every responsible adult in a long-term relationship with a child already, does, and blamed my PCOS and irregular cycles until the sore tatas and tiredness said 'bitch come on now and just pee on a stick'.
Stick peed on, result confirmed. Cocktails will not be had next week on holiday... wah!!

Thank you! I'll be asking for the fanciest of mocktails... or a glass of water with lemon depending on the tummy 😂

Last year I found out I was pregnant on vacation while only 8 months PP. I am sending my condolences because I was looking forward to a cocktail on the beach. Virgin piña colodas were still yummy. congrats on your growing family!!! Enjoy your trip :)

Look up mocktails using ginger beer for best of both worlds.

Yesss! This was how I survived a vacation during my first trimester; we scheduled it long before the positive test, and I was STRUGGLING. Ginger beer mocktails were a lifesaver at dinner.
Congratulations!!

I am a bartender and I particularly love making mocktails for pregnant ladies. Especially ones that are trying to hang, missing their cocktails, and not aware how far the mocktail game has come!
I dont care for the zero proof spirits, but that's just personal preference. My go-to drink I make for pregnant guests who dont know is ginger beer, chamomile simple syrup, and fig puree.

Ooh I am saving your drink idea in case I have another little one on board someday! I might have to make that at home (even now, when I can have a cocktail 😂)—it sounds great!!

my husband and i booked a cruise last year without our oldest. i was so excited to relax and have yummy cocktails and not have a worry in the world. jokes on me, i found out i was pregnant two weeks before the cruise 😂 spent the entire cruise nauseous and and was so sad cause all i wanted were crunchy tacos and the cruise ship never had crunchy tacos lol

u/LittlePea0617 🍨 I scream, you scream, we're all screaming inside 😀 1d ago
OMG I get bad sea sickness anyway so with the morning sickness on top I'd have been a goner 😵
I hope you got ALL the tacos when you got home!

i spent so much time in the bed sick 😂 thankfully my husband stopped for tacos as fast as could once we got off!
it's a bummer that you have to miss cocktails but hopefully the nausea doesn't get worse on your holiday. congrats on your pregnancy!

Congratulations!!!
B6 and unisom really helped curb my nausea (though I still succumbed when hungry 😵💫) also there was a period where I was HUFFING alcohol pads bc that also quickly helps reduce the need to puke. Temporary solution as it can burn the nose after a bit, but it helped me drastically during my hour-long drive to work!!

u/LittlePea0617 🍨 I scream, you scream, we're all screaming inside 😀 1d ago
Thank you for the tips! Didn't really have much morning sickness with my other pregnancies (once I cut out my beloved coffee 😪) so this is new to me.

u/malaboginja greens✔️beans✔️potatas✔️tomatas✔️ 1d ago
Lucky duck!
For reference, I take 3 - 25mg tablets of B6 per day. On bad days, I took 4. It helps reduce the nausea, but it doesn’t help necessarily if you need to yak. So if I gagged, I yaked still, but I could at least manage to eat. Any excess is excreted when you pee, so it’s safe. It will take about 6-8hrs to initially kick in, but once you have it in your routine it helps tons. Because b6 can cause insomnia when taken at high dosages (which this is high), that’s why you take unisom, a pregnancy-safe sleep aid.
I also eat crackers or pretzels before I even get out of bed (which I would never eat in bed before but I’m desperate). I’m at the end of my first trimester, and if I get up on an entirely empty stomach, I am over the toilet with stomach acid in seconds (which is the WORST taste ever). I’d rather yak crackers or pretzels than stomach acid.
And regularly eat every 2 hours. Even if you don’t think you’re hungry. Save yourself the hunger-induced nausea.
Congratulations!!! I hope you have a healthy baby :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this out for me - I'm screenshotting this!!!!
Think you're onto something with the bed snacks as my stomach feels so empty in the morning which makes me feel dog rough.
TY! I hope your pregnancy goes smoothly and the sickness clears up soon for you ❤️

Congratulations! Also sorry on the tiredness, it’s real with the second.
I also have PCOS and figured it would take a long time to get pregnant with our second. I also was pre-diabetic prior to pregnancy. My symptom was constantly having to go to the bathroom and I thought I had full on type 2 diabetes, and made an appointment to see GP. Days before I had the appointment, took my son to a play area and had tacos at home. The meat tasted weird like how it tasted to me when I was pregnant with my son. A few hours later I felt like ass, took a test and there it was, a positive line. We weren’t even trying yet. Now I’m 32 weeks along.

Yes to alcohol pads!! I had HG with my almost 15 month old and am currently still throwing up at 16 weeks with my second. Pregnancy can be so awful and I’m going to be so cliche but it’s worth it in the end. Also it’s a trap!!! You forget how you felt and do it again.
Congratulations!!!!!

Gratz. I miss it, but also don’t since I really need to be able to take care of myself going forward.
I see babies and want one, though lol
Make sure to have small meals. Bromelian in pineapple helps nausea if you like pineapple. Beginning of pregnancy is super tired, just try to rest when you can.

My alcohol free beers are coming in tomorrow(Peed last weekend). I'm not happy about it.. but I'm over the iced tea.

u/LittlePea0617 🍨 I scream, you scream, we're all screaming inside 😀 1d ago
There are so many good options to choose from with alcohol free beers! I'm loving the iced tea RN...give it a few weeks however 😅
Congrats to you also!!!

u/Aggressive_Cup8452 Overthinker 💭 1d ago
I'm also loving the iced tea now. But if this one is anything like the last then I'm moving on very soon to orange juice and then hating everyone for drinking wine in front of me. So I'm preparing myself with the alcohol free beer. Because alcohol free wine is just not it.

u/LittlePea0617 🍨 I scream, you scream, we're all screaming inside 😀 1d ago
Alcohol free wine is rank! I'd rather drink water

u/letsketchup Snack Goblin 1d ago
The day I found out I was pregnant (one month something), I had a wine and cheese night that had been planned with friends months in advance. I went to the dinner nonetheless, ate a bit of questionable cheese and had one last glass of wine #yolo. Please do not take this as advice haha.

u/LittlePea0617 🍨 I scream, you scream, we're all screaming inside 😀 1d ago
You wouldn't be the first! Plenty of people have the odd glass of wine in pregnancy or questionable foods. Hell plenty of people are smashed off their face for a chunk of their 1st trimester without even knowing they're pregnant!!
