Think they mean about the part where you said "he just doesn't want to be a dad again". As for the rest of your post, sorry I can't think of anything else but I do hope it all goes well!

I have heard that if you eat toast and drink bubbly drinks (like sprite or ginger ale) that the morning sickness will go down. Good luck, because the morning sickness is just the beginning.

Congratulations. I understand where you are coming from. I'm 90% sure I'm pregnant and the dad does nothing but party, drink and smoke pot. He is great with kids and is supportive but just is like another child and has yet to grow up.
As for your baby daddy he sounds like just added stress to your pregnancy. It takes two to tango and he needs to accept his part of the situation.

Re: I'm pregnant
 

Congrats are in order for getting pregnant if you wanted it to, not so much for the father though, but that is the consequence of unsafe sex. (Sorry, rather pregnant than STD's tho)

Re: I'm pregnant
 

Aww I am sorry the father is being so negative :(

I am also expecting, but due in July. I have HORRIBLE morning sickness again, my doctor has put me on Diclegis and it so far is the only medication that has seemed to help.

Next time you are at your doctors ask if it is a good fit for you.. Until then, Sea Bands, Preggy Pops, Ginger tea, Ginger snaps, B6 and Unisom are things you should try out

Well, some people do like to keep it quiet till 3 months but in all honesty, if you want to tell people then tell people. In the end, it is your pregnancy. I would tell him that at X time you will start to tell people about the baby to give him time to prepare for it. I think 12 weeks is usually a good time as that is the start of the 2nd trimester. If you haven't told your immediate family, I would consider telling them.

I don't see anything healthy in keeping the child a secret for long periods of time. After 12 weeks, then I would definitely tell people. The baby isn't going to go away.

I would also prepare to raise the child alone as it sounds like he has not grown up. While he is supportive of his other child, he may not be supportive of yours. Cold thing to say, but that sometimes happens.

Re: I'm pregnant
 

14 Weeks is when the 2nd trimester starts.. 12 weeks you are still in the first trimester :)

But yes, some people do wait until the 14th week to tell people as that is when your chance for miscarriage drops drastically.

12 weeks is when the risk of miscarriage is reduced. 14 weeks is the beginning of 2nd trimester. Asfor morning sickness small frequent meals, prego pops, rest, keep crackers your bed and eat a few before getting up. You can ask your doctor for nausea medicine they can prescribe medicine that will help. I hope your morning sickness passes quickly feel free to message me if you have questions about Pregnancy or just need someone to vent to as you go through this.

Re: I'm pregnant
 

Not according to my nursing OB/peds book.

If you have really bad nausea, you could consider asking about zofran.

Re: I'm pregnant
 

Re: I'm pregnant
 

Also, there is a cheaper version of zofran out there. It's ondansetron, the generic form. It's cheaper than zofran in many cases although they may have given it to you depending on how the script was written.

One common side effect of zofran is constipation though but some prenatal vitamins have a stool softener in them. If the prenatal vitamins make you sick, consider asking about a different formula/brand. Sometimes you can break a tablet in half and take it at two meals instead of one if the tablet is scored in half (has a line through the tablet).

I forgot to mention this. There are different routes of zofran too but they may not all be available in the generic form. I need to register my work's phone app in my phone again to access their drug book information.

I think it's name brand and it tastes like grape kool-aid and it dissolves under your tongue. It's zofran sublingual although you do swallow the bit that isn't absorbed under the tongue.

There's also pill forms and it'll probably be the cheapest. They are available in both generic and brand name.

Obviously you wouldn't use IV or IM route.

Re: I'm pregnant
 

Therr is actually a generic of both the pill and the orally disentegrating tablet (odt). The generic is ondansteron. Of course unless your doctor writes for name brand only most pharmacies will fill the generic as it saves both them and you money. Your doctor will decide which form of the medicine you should use. At one point my morning sickness was so bad that neither the pill or distentegrating tablet worked so my doctor gave me zofran through iv. Hopefully you won't need this and your morning sickness will pass quickly! Best of luck!
