I'm in the 7th month of 26 weeks now.

I will soon be in the third trimester.

I will summarize how it was in the early and middle stages.

• Morning sickness and discomfort problems

I had this kind of thing during pregnancy (morning sickness and unpleasant symptoms)

◎ 1st month (before pregnancy is confirmed)

◉ Discomfort in the lower abdomen

• A feeling of discomfort in the lower abdomen that is different from that of menstrual pain.

  ➡︎ Wait-and-see. It may be a sign of pregnancy.

◉ Strong drowsiness

• I just want to sleep. Similar to PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome), but more drowsy.

  ➡︎ Wait-and-see. It may be a sign of pregnancy.

◎ 2nd to 5th month (after pregnancy is confirmed)

◉ Morning sickness

• 【Symptom】Discomfort such as seasickness, motion sickness, and hangover from the moment you wake up. Feeling tired every day.

• 【Period】Starts at the 5th week, peaks at 8-14 weeks, and calms down after 17 weeks.

• 【Type】Nausea with empty stomach, vomiting after eating, heightened sense of smell, and drowsiness.

◉ Prescribed vitamins

◉ What do you do with nausea?

• Keep eating something small

• Do not eat too much, increase the number of times

• Take Vitamin B6 (prescribed)

• Changed to fragrance-free (detergent, shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc.)

• Find something distracting

• Sleep

• Wear loose clothes

  ➡︎ I want my husband to understand this discomfort. But my husband is a person who does not get motion sickness or seasickness. So, I explained "The day after you drank too much, you get a hangover and puke in the toilet, which made you feel uncomfortable, you feel that feeling every day. It's unusual for humans to puke food.” After dinner-before going to bed, I asked my husband to rub my back and vomited several times when I felt sick so that he could actually understand it. I think what men can do at this time is to feel the suffering together.

◉ What was hard?

• I can't watch any of my favorite games, books, manga, or TV. (I felt sick when I saw the screen and characters.)

• Only the radio was distracting my mind

• My husband got a coronavirus

• The epidemic of the coronavirus makes it impossible to go out

◉ Radio that works for morning sickness

• 『Matayoshi, Kodama, and Mukai Atowa nerudake no jikan』

• In fact, there was a post saying that it worked for morning sickness.

◉ What to do with nausea after dinner?

• I didn't want to get a habit of vomiting, so I usually put up with it. But sometimes I couldn't put up with it and vomited several times. It will make you feel easier. If you want to vomit, you should vomit.

◉ Can't sleep?

• Meditation

• Good value for money recommended meditation app: 『Meditopia: Meditation, Mindfulness, Sleep 』

• I consulted with my doctor and got a sleeping pill that was OK for the pregnant woman, but I stopped because it was strong.

• If you feel a slight fever, wrap the ice pack with a towel and put it to your head and neck.

• Separate the bedroom / bed from the husband (You don't wake husband up / You don't wake up by husband. Sleep deprivation is reduced because we can sleep well each other.)

• Sneeze right way: 『妊娠中のくしゃみは胎児に影響が出る？妊娠初期に腹痛を感じたら？』

◉ What I could eat?

• French fries, chicken sandwich, white rice with scrambled eggs and soy sauce, egg porridge, vegetable soup

• Crackers, cherry tomatoes, watermelons, strawberries, jellies, puddings, cucumbers, Buddy Fruites

◉ What about drinks?

• Water that feels delicious, carbonated water, barley tea (non-caffeine)

◉ When you're hard mentally

• See blogs and books of people who have the same experience

• Watch healing and laughing videos

◉ Reference site

• 神経過敏&情緒不安定妊婦がやってよかったこと

• 【Vlog】ウサギ好きなサラリーマンの休日

◎ 6th and 7th months

◉ Frequent urination

• Do not put up with it, go bathroom.

◉ Constipation

• I consulted with my doctor and asked OK drug for pregnant women 『COLACE』.

◉ Belly gets tight

• From the 7th month, my stomach suddenly started to bulge. The fetus pushes strongly against the abdomen and feels a little pain (feeling of oppression).

• Cooking, changing clothes, showering, etc. become more difficult. Using chair is good.

• Right way to stand up : 『妊婦さん必見！ おなかが大きくなってからの起き上がり方、これが正解！』

• Do not stand for more than 15 minutes

◉ Increase appetite

• I'm worried that I'm eating too much

• Ask your doctor and if it's okay, no problem

◉ I'm worried about what happens to my body

• Inform your husband of changes in your body at any time

• Get your husband to understand the situation by having a pregnancy app

• Recommended app has English version:　『Maternity＋』

◉ Poor posture in the middle of the night

• I am worried about fetal movement and make me awake

• Holding pillow for pregnant women is important * Good to have backrest

• I bought an ordinary holding pillow (white) and bought a gray one because I wanted a backrest.

• Recommended item:『PharMeDoc Pregnancy Pillow』

In the end

• Morning sickness was really unpleasant, I couldn't see the end, the fetus was unstable, and it was a time when I was physically and mentally distressed. But there is an end. Everything will be all right.

• Be careful of your body after the middle term. You will feel better and free from morning sickness, but never overdo it.
