Wk 14 symptoms

Hi all. Am around week 14 now, is it still normal to have food aversion and nauseous feeling when hungry. I can't sleep properly through the night too and always wake up hungry. It is so tiring and frustrating I don't feel happy or excited on most days at all. 😭 thirsty yet unable to stomach much plain water without throwing up as well. Diclectin doesn't work for me. So sick of having to eat at intervals and feeling so bloated after eating.What a vicious cycle 😔

Hey there! Week 14 symptoms can be tough, but hang in there, mama! It's totally normal to still experience food aversion and nausea, especially when hungry. It sounds like you're going through a rough patch with disrupted sleep and feeling constantly hungry. I've been there, and it can indeed feel exhausting and frustrating. First off, if Diclectin isn't helping, it might be worth checking in with your healthcare provider again. They might have other suggestions or medications that could offer relief. In the meantime, here are a few tips that might help: 1. **Small, Frequent Meals:** Instead of three large meals, try eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. This can help keep your blood sugar levels stable and prevent that overwhelming hunger. 2. **Hydration:** Staying hydrated is crucial, but plain water might not be cutting it for you right now. You could try adding a slice of lemon or cucumber to your water, or even opt for hydrating foods like watermelon or cucumber. 3. **Snack Smart:** Choose snacks that are easy on your stomach but still provide nutrients. Things like crackers, yogurt, or fruit might be easier to tolerate. 4. **Ginger:** Some moms find that ginger helps with nausea. You could try ginger tea, ginger candies, or even ginger ale (just make sure it's caffeine-free). 5. **Rest:** I know it's easier said than done, especially with disrupted sleep, but try to sneak in naps whenever you can. Your body is working hard right now, so it's important to give it the rest it needs. 6. **Reach Out for Support:** Don't hesitate to lean on your support system during this time. Whether it's your partner, friends, or fellow moms, talking about what you're going through can make a world of difference. Hang in there, mama. This phase won't last forever, and soon you'll be feeling more like yourself again. Take care of yourself and reach out if you need anything! 💕 Mama's Choice $18 voucher 👉🏻 https://invl.io/cll6she
