Hi ladies,

Having severe morning sickness about 8 weeks pregnant any tips on how to tackle this 😭. First time pregnancy, haven’t been to the OBGYN yet, as I’m out of the country but have an app scheduled for next week. Any advice appreciated, thank you!

I’m also having severe food aversion. Everything smells so so bad especially meat which is crazy bc beef is my favorite. Since pregnant I’ve lost 5 pounds just this week and am worried if I can’t eat anything if it’ll affect the baby :(

The acupressure nausea wristbands for motion sickness actually helped me the most, would force down a cracker or take tiny sips of ice cold water, too. Sometimes just sucking on a candy helped. So sorry you’re dealing with it, it’s the worst! Try not to worry too much, just make sure you stay hydrated, nuun electrolyte tablets were a godsend. And congrats!

Eat something before you even get out of bed. Then Cold grapes, ice packs on your face and a prayer.

Ginger lemon and honey in warm water, tiny sips! Apples, ginger ale, peppermint tea, saltines. All these things helped me.

Ultimately I needed meds from my OB but this stuff held me over.

I would watch out for honey. They actually tell you not to have honey while pregnant bc it can cause botulism

I second nausea bands, ginger candy, and ask your doctor for a zofran prescription to help. It should be ok around the second trimester.

Men, how do you make yourself feel sexy and successful?

I feel like, I've dependend on my partners to validate me in those ways. But that makes me insecure & dependent on them. They loved me but idk if they "wanted/desired" me.

To feel sexy, I'm working on losing weight and then building muscle, but that'll take time and fade away with age anyway.

To feel successful, I mean... I have an OK career and savings, but I just don't identify either as success.

Maybe, I just want to feel desired.
