Is alot of nausea normal at 35 weeks of pregnancy? I started getting naesus all over again like in the first trimester last week. I work in a bakery and I have to say its been hard to smell everything. I have no appetite (of course I'm still eating though, little Riley is still growing). I just hate feeling so crappy. I'm assuming its because she is taking up all the room in my abdomen but what can I do to relieve some pressure? I know this didn't happen with my two previous childern so I have no experiance with this at all (I know, I know every pregnancy is different! )
It's normal, i had that too. Digestion takes place in a much tighter space these days--it should clear up completely in about 5 weeks, give or take
Same happen to me. I was not hungry at all... Felt sick a lot. could be your hormones going crazy again?.. So are you still having braxton hicks?. Let me know!.. Love ya Zenia
i drank alot of Arizona Green Tea...don't know why, but it always made me feel better. Still does. And Peppermint tea with a little honey.
Nausea is usually related to blood sugar dips. If you are eating too far between meals, your blood sugar will go nuts and cause nausea. Try eating smaller, more frequent meals instead, high in protein so your sugar levels stabilize. 6 meals a day, with plenty of healthy snacks in between, and lots of water. The snacks only have to fill the palm of your hand, a handful of nuts, one of those mozzerella sticks, 2 whole wheat crackers with some almond butter, a small container of cottage cheese or yogurt, half an apple. keep a few things in your pocket when your working so you can nibble between customers.
I agree totally with Brighid. (She knows what she is talking about.) I got some nausea in my pregnancies right before I had the babies, but many womyn get it when they not only start running out of room in their upper abdomens, but are getting blood sugar drops. Also, the placenta is working really hard, and hormones from this can cause nausea, as the beginning of pregnancy. Even mild dehydration can cause nausea, make sure you are getting lots of water. (I know you are probably up 4 times a night going to the bathroom, but you really need the liquid.) My advice. QUIT the job. (Unless you will starve to death without it.) I find that the last few months or weeks of pregnancy are good for reflection and getting to know the baby and preparing for having a new person in your life. I mean this advice with all respect for mamas who just can't do it. Also, you'll have time for the other kids. Something they will be thankful for, once the new baby comes and you are taking care of her/him all the time. Unless you will starve, or lose your house, I'd take it easy, spend time with your kids, and REST. Not everyone can do this, but many more mamas actually can, than who think they can. I had to be on TOTAL bedrest for most of all my pregnancies, yeah, we felt the crunch, but we made it, and saved my babies from a preterm delivery. Most mamas who have support can quit their jobs now, and still be OK financially. I understand if it is just not possible for you, though. (Damn, this country should have pregnancy allowance, like many European countries.) If you were having a lot of preterm contractions, would your doctor be willing to put you on SS Disability for the next few weeks? A lot of doctors are willing to do this. (It's sad that middle class womyn sometimes have to do this.) JMO. I hope you feel better. I found Mylanta Extra Strength really helpful for the heartburn of late pregnancy. I would keep it in the refrigerator, to make the taste a little more sweet.
I had the same thing happen with my pregnancies during the last few weeks before they arrived. {{{Hugs}}}
Unforetunetly I can't. I only work 10 hrs a week maximum anyway now. I get a stool whenever I need it, want it. At least they are very accomidating and understanding. My last employer was not. Anyway, because I don't work a minimum of 30 hrs a week my medical assistance is going to be taken away unless I can talk my doc into signing paperwork for me saying my previous job was too heavy labor for a pregnant woman to work (I cleaned and lifted a lot of heavy machinery, my boss actually went into labor at 6 mo because of the job I was preforming). I'm very upset and stressed out today. Last week when I tried to talk to him about it the nurse would not and said "no". I could punch that woman... she won't help me because there is no medical excuse for me to not work, HELLO? 9 months pregnant!? (well, next week but I'm way too far along to be on my feet 8-10 hrs a day a minimum of 30 hrs a week). They also need to sign that I need 6 weeks to heal afterwords too, ridiclous isn't it? I'm only on the med assistance because I was not eligiable for my jobs insurance at the time and now I'm not eligable for insurance from anywhere. I'm just so pissed, I work hard and take care of my kids but when I really need help and ask for it, none is available. It doesn't help that for me to give birth vaginally I need to stay stress free. I won't go into it but if I don't stay not stressed and I'm not on medication for these problems right now (I can't be if I want a vaginal birth) I could end up having to be c-sectioned. I want to scream. Any advice?
Deep breaths. I understand your frustrations. Us working mamas. Sometimes when Robert was born I was right on the brink- single mama but I refused to quit my job and go on welfare. So after 500.00 a month you are no longer eligible for help. And, who can live on 500.00 a month? I would make about 800 give or take and barely squeak by with bills and such. The system sucks. It doesn't work for the people who need it. Could you try seeing another doctor? Not for a long term, and I wouldn't ditch the first one? But could you get a second opinion? Also would the woman at your first job write a note for you about the heavy lifting and her own experiences with pre-term labor? One week to go, you can make it. H
Oh, I'm so sorry you are going through this. What about the mandatory Parental Leave Act? Your employer can't deny you that. And, they have to continue your insurance. Was your partner unable to put you on his insurance? This is really frustrating. DON'T stop trying with your doctor. Screw the nurse, insist on talking to him. Blessings, I am praying you get some time to relax.
