Hello!

“Im hoping that u ladies can help me or maybe post this on your page in the hope that other moms out there might.
im 31 weeks pregnant now. And i have 2 problems

1: extreme nausea has decided to come back and its horrible as i feel like vomiting all day long

2: I havent grown much in this pregnancy and really look like im just hiding a ball under my shirt, now thats not much of a problem but the lill one inside is kicking soo badly that it basically prevents me from being able to fall asleep as its seriously painful. I can feel her every move and im half the day in agonising pain. Is there any way i can get a good night sleep? I tried tea and hot bath and hot shower and massaging my tummy but nothing worked”

Do you have any helpful answers for these pregnancy questions?

  • Nausea returning is common, but definitely ask your midwife about growth.


  • Hope everything went well for you.


  • I was pregnant with my first child in summer and we used to go to beach and I would make hole in sand so I could lay on my tummy. Also floating in water is good. Food thing I just did toast and dry biscuit thing and ate when felt like it.. Once heavily pregnant went in bath and got husband to bring me cauliflower in cheese\e sauce I had made earlier and ate there.
    Soothing music and get someone to gently massage you with baby oil fantastic!


  • I can empathise with the ‘morning sickness’. Ask your Dr about maxalon, it can help a lot. The only other thing that helped me (and I’m sure I’ll cop flak for this, but it was the only thing that got me through most days) was drinking coke.

    My second bub kicked me constantly too. I wasn’t expecting it because bub number one didn’t. On the one hand, it was reassuring because I knew bub was happily thriving away. On the other hand, it sometimes got a bit too much. I found a $12 wedge pillow from Big W baby section helpful sometimes. Other times I had to experiment with pillows between my legs (when sleeping on side) and bought a memory foam underlay for my bed. I found I had to really calm my mind at night and be measured with my breathing to steady my heart rate. A lot of the time (not always) that seemed to let bub know it was time to rest. Good luck.


  • It sounds like how i was but everything was fine in the end!!


  • Hope you manged to find the help you needed and the rest of your pregnancy went well.


  • Do try chewing on ginger biscuits, they helped my sister in law get through the nausea.


  • I hope that you found the answers that your looking for


  • This doesn’t sound good but bacon and eggs every morning it helped me with morning sickness. I suffered right the way through and someone told me about this and it worked.

    Sorry cant help with the other


  • I would make an appointment to see your GP or OB and discuss the issues that you are having with the nausea and the pain and see if there is anything that they can prescribe you


  • I really hope the rest of your pregnancy went smoothly x


  • I had both problems when I was pregnant.

    For the nausea I was the same, just wanted o throw up all day, doc prescribed maxalon, it was a life saver.

    The pain, mine was bad, I has a really bad back, spina bifida and scoliosis, and bub was sitting right on my spin, for doc prescribed pandadine forte so I could sleep. I also was sent to a ciropractor but they can’t do anything while pregnant so he sent me to aqua natal classes at the hospital which was fantastic and helped so much.

    I hope you feel better, talk to your doc and see what options you have.sleep is precious and you need it now as much as possible. Good luck.


  • If ur pain is that bad I would not leave it. See a doc


  • For the morning sickness I feel you cos I’m 34 weeks and I’m seriously almost over it hey, I would recommend you ask your doctor about ondansetron or ‘wafers’ as they’re commonly known they have worked wonders with me! And With the sleeping thing I sleep with a pillow between my legs and it helps.. Good luck!


  • As for the painful kicking well that’s normal being 31 weeks pregnant your skin has stretched to the max and is thin its alot more painful, try using a heat pack :-)
