Keep your stomach full. Keep some crackers by you at all times and continuously eat some throughout the day. In between keep a jolly rancher in your mouth. Ginger candy didn’t work for me but for some reason jolly ranchers did 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was the same. I did most of my work from the couch or bathroom. Not ideal. Ask your ob for b6 and that CAN help. For me it was bagels and cream cheese. Not any reccs, just figured it out with trial and error. Hang in there. It does go away! But I was just in your boat and I was miserable. Good luck. (28 weeks now)

I found that carbs and small snacks helped keep me calm but mine was persistent (all day everyday into week 12+) but not severe. Pasta. Crackers. Even salty chips helped a bit.

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.

How much did you all pay for the 20 week ultrasound out of pocket? My 12 week ultrasound cost me $600 so I am guessing the 20 week one would be even more expensive. I have the high deductible plan from United healthcare.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.
