    8+3 weeks and tell me it gets better

    @sarahs_ Yes! You need the Unisom, my pharmacist told me that the active anti-nausea ingredient is in that. B6 just helps with absorption. Make sure you get the right kind of Unisom-- it's not the gel version. I want to say it's doxylamine succinate, not the other kind. Start with half a tab and...

    8+3 weeks and tell me it gets better

    @sarahs_ Drugs made it better for me! Are you on anything? I really wish I had started Unisom and B6 sooner- didn't help much with vomiting but really curbed my terrible nausea!

    B-Belly and overshooting recommended pregnancy gains

    @geomer12 I wouldn't put much stock in Dr. Google. Belly shapes vary wildly both from person to person and within the same pregnancy! Agree with others here about professional guidance on your concerns, and I just wanted to add that if your midwife is unsupportive, you could check to see if you...

    Postpartum running

    @katrina2017 This is great advice. And yes, paying more for a nice nursing sports bra or two is worth it! OP, if you're starting a new routine, I also recommend sitting down with your spouse to map out weekly running times and how you'll do childcare. And consider a running stroller for when...
