18wks weird metallic taste in mouth

So I'm at 18weeks now and I've been having this weird metallic taste in my mouth. Feeling very gassy and bloated. I tried eating sour candies and sweets but nothing works. It's a taste I can't get rid of and it's making me brush my tongue too often which in turns makes me want to vomit. 😩😩😩😩 Any advise?

poor sleeping habit

has anyone experienced poor sleeping habit during pregnancy like i did? I wanted to share my story in the hope that it might help other expecting moms who are experiencing similar issues. Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it can also come with its fair share of challenges. One such challenge that I faced was poor sleeping habits, and unfortunately, it had a significant impact on my baby. During my pregnancy, I struggled with insomnia and poor sleep quality. I would often stay up late, unable to find a comfortable position, and then wake up multiple times during the night. My mind was always racing with thoughts and worries about the pregnancy, and this made it even harder to rest. I dismissed my sleep problems as a normal part of pregnancy and thought they wouldn't have any serious consequences. As the weeks went by, I began to notice that I was constantly fatigued, irritable, and struggling to keep up with my daily activities. More concerningly, my regular check-ups started to show some worrying signs. My baby's growth rate was slowing down, and there were concerns about the amniotic fluid levels and the baby's heart rate. My doctor explained that poor sleep can lead to increased stress and hormonal imbalances, which can negatively affect fetal development. Here are some of the key signs that my sleep issues were impacting my pregnancy: -Constant Fatigue: Feeling extremely tired all the time, despite trying to rest. -Irritability and Stress: Increased stress and irritability can be indicators that your body isn't getting the rest it needs. -Changes in Baby’s Movement: Noticing changes in the baby's activity levels. -Abnormal Check-Up Results: Issues like slowed fetal growth and changes in amniotic fluid levels. After discussing these concerns with my doctor, I realized the importance of prioritizing my sleep. I made several changes to improve my sleeping habits: -Establishing a Routine: Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. -Creating a Comfortable Sleep Environment: Using pillows for support and keeping the bedroom cool and dark. -Relaxation Techniques: Practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing and prenatal yoga to calm my mind before bed. -Limiting Screen Time: Reducing exposure to screens before bedtime to help my mind wind down. These changes made a significant difference. My sleep improved, and so did my overall health and well-being. Subsequent check-ups showed positive improvements in my baby's development as well. If you're struggling with sleep during your pregnancy, please don't ignore it. Good sleep is crucial for both your health and your baby's development. Don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for advice and support.

Taking folic acid at the wrong time of the day🤦🏻‍♀️

I am now 5 weeks pregnant. I have been taking folic acid consistently since April, even before TTC, 1 pill every night before going to bed. It was only today that I read online that... absorption is not good at night but morning as it's most efficient! I feel terrible now as I'm wondering if the past 3 months of taking folic acid religiously has gone to waste??😭 From today onwards I will surely take it every morning instead🤦🏻‍♀️😫

Absent nasal bone meaning

I did my 20 week scan and they told me that the nasal bone is missing which could be a sign of down syndrome. I did the harmony test and there it said I have a lower probability of having that. I am not sure what to do at moment and I'm quite worried. Is there anyone who was in a similar situation? Please let me know. 🙏

high risk for trisomy 21, 18 and 13 when tested at week 12 with absence of nasal bone still going on with the pregnancy and approaching week 20 staying all positive that baby will be healthy
