Really struggling

I'm 8 + 2 and boy am I struggling. Nausea and vomiting has been a pain and nothing seems to help. I try bands, tablet, ginger and it's starting to take a toll. I'm tired all the time and can't keep nothing down. Don't know what food to even eat to help with this and I have a 2 year old boy that I take care of. Any ...

Flutters?

So I'm a FTM and I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking for in terms of flutters and the baby kicking. Everyone says it's like flutters, bubbles or butterflies that can be confused for gas.

Popping/cracking noise from belly

Anyone else experienced this? It’s so subtle and quiet, but definitely audible! It’s almost like occasional little pops/cracks. No pain or discomfort with it, just bizarre! Thought I might be hearing things but my partner heard it too 😂 I’m 30 weeks.

Birthday cake Inspiration…

I am a baker by profession but used to getting people tell me what they want their cakes to look like. My daughter’s 2nd birthday is on Sunday and I have no inspiration for her cake at all. It will be Bluey/dog themed and that’s all I know 😅🤦🏼‍♀️. Spam the comments with your 2nd birthday cakes or just kids…

Nasal congestion? Mucus?

Basically, my baby is now going into the fifth week of having congestion! He basically sounds like a little pig! Last week he was snotty but I think that was due to the jabs. He basically sounds like a little pig and it feels like it’s in his nose. I’ve taken him to the doctors because when he sniffs and sounds like...
