Multiple ultrasound during 1st trimester

I am wondering if having weekly ultrasound safe on my first trimester? I read a few articles saying you will only need 4-5 in duration of whole pregnancy. I am on high risk pregnancy and had miscarried twice. Does it have any effect on the baby? Some say it still has radiation. Anyone had multiple scans too? It somehow gives me a peace of mind to see everything is going well due to my past experiences too. But also anxious whether am I harming my unborn child.

Heartburn/reflux/gerd

I am on my first trimester and suffering from very bad reflux/gerd. I would wake up in the middle of the night with a burning feeling in my chest and going up my throat that makes me cough. I am already sleeping upright but still the same. I avoid taking meds as i read an article here that it can cause asthma in unborn babies. Anyone experiencing the same situation? Please help I am having sleepless nights and it gets unbearable :(

Constant Hunger

I’m on my 5th week and last night I woke up a couple of times with my tummy churning. I’m hungry throughout the night but didn’t get up to eat. Is it ok?

VIP Member

I was in the same situation and it's common. I sleep throughout the night too sometimes if I cant bear it ill drink milk before I sleep. But morning immediately I must eat upon waking up if not I'll vomit out digestive acid. Few weeks later you wont feel so hungry.
