Is this morning sickness?

[jesses_girl]

I didn't get it with ds so im not sure what to be looking out for. Lastnight i was brushing my teeth and all of a sudden i threw up. No warning, nothing, i just threw up. When i woke up this morning i felt sick, lethargic and super tierd. I ate my brekky 2 hours later because i just didn't feel like i could keep it down. At around lunch time i threw up again, and again just now. Am i sick or is this morning sickness? WHat a silly name, morning sickness pfft.

Ya, that's m/s hun. Lucky you!! I used to dry retch while trying to brush my teeth and feel yucky first thing in the morning......no throwing up as such just all day feeling queasy and yuck. Hope it's not too bad for you!

How long does this last for? I was super hoping it was just a bug. Lucky for me i can't have maxalon. Has anyone had stemetil whilst pregnant? I've heard of phenergan being presecribed but i'm not keen on that. Off to the doctors tomorrow.

Yep thats morning sickness! and it can last the whole first trimester or even the whole pregnancy. They say i you eat as soon as you wake up you should feel fine unfortunately for me that doesnt work. I had it horribley with my DD but its not so bad this time around. I find if i sip on juice or cordial anything sweet im fine.

Brushing my teeth always set me off so i ended up resorting to mouth wash until i was over the worst of it.

Teeth brushing was one of my triggers too! I found brushing my teeth in the shower better, and just rinsing with mouth wash if i couldn;t shower.

You can get through it without drugs, i know there are a few threads on different things that help. Regular sips of half juice and half lemonade helped me. And small meals often. and calippo icy poles. I had to eat first thing in the morning.

Ah, the joys. Don't know who called it "morning" sickness - what a crock! Hope you're feeling better soon, or that it at least settles a little

absolutely, hun. welcome to the club

I found my gag reflex moved a lot closer to the front of my tongue, so if I brushed more than half way up my tongue, blergh ...

And I had issues with mint flavoured things for a while too, so had to find other flavours of tooth paste.

mineral water helped me, and steamed potatoes.

Good luck finding what works for you, hun!!

and yes, I tend to call it my "any time I'm awake" sickness ...
