Morning Sickness Discussion

**onthefly** · August 13th, 2007, 05:25 PM

i even mastered vomitting in the car whilst driving, to and from work!

Wow!

Megsy I think it's pretty normal for symptoms to come and go for some people. Crossed fingers - maybe you're through the worst

I completely hear you! It is silly that we worry about not being sick

. I am the same way, My boobs had gotten smaller, still a bit sore but not as big as they were, and my all day constant nausea had settled. Last week it was bad on a few mornings only and better in the afternoon, but not completely gone. Last few days it has just been there, today hardly at all. I still feel a bit yuk at times, but not as bad as it was. I am kind of happy to feel somewhat human again, but still a bit worried.

I had a scan on Saturday at the local GP. The machine wasn't great, but I did see a heartbeat, and I measured the 'right' gestation. Despite the scan I am still a bit worried, but I don't think they can change anything, for me it just a matter of hoping and praying everything is ok.

If you are worried go see your Doc.

I am due end of March, Hopefully. THis is my first pregnancy so I am hoping I am 'lucky' that m/s has eased.

If you are worried go see your Doc. I just saw your sig so it may be worth getting it checked, even if just for peace of mind.

My first pregnancy I had all day, every day morning sickness from 6 weeks until he was born. I'm hoping and praying that this pregnancy will be different

Im sure everything is fine, everyone experiences their pregnancy in a different way. At the beginning of my pregnancy I had morning sickness 24/7, then one day (around 16 weeks) it just stopped completely! It was that bad at the time i was like catherine and had mastered vomiting in the car (TMI?? haha).

I am now 29 weeks and believe it or not, i am beginning to get it all over again!! although its not as bad, its definately still there!

Good luck for a H&H pregnancy.

My thoughts are with you,

HELP ME!! I need some MS relief.

Nothing is working ATM - I have been taking B6 - 50mg - DOES NOTHING.

Have been doing acupuncture, which was working a treat but now that has stopped working too! HELP!!

Has anyone tried sea-bands - those elastic bands worn on the wrist to put pressure on the acupressure points - and do they work?

yes they do work!! But make sure they arent too tight like mine were!

They are a great cheap remedy. Also try some ginger tabs

good luck!

**krysalyss** · October 22nd, 2007, 08:55 AM

Ticklish - also make sure that you eat some small amounts (eg a piece of toast or just a cup of tea) especially in the morning as MS has been linked to low blood sugar levels. HTH.

**MantaRay** · October 22nd, 2007, 09:07 AM

I think the sea bands work too. I still did have ms but I'm pretty sure it was less when I was wearing them. I have used them for sea sickness too and they most definitely work for that.

**Firstkid** · October 22nd, 2007, 09:44 AM

I think they worked for me to some extent. Also try Ginger Refresh (a drink available from most supermarkets) - chemo patients use it to get rid of the nausea.

Good luck!

**hannahfroodoo** · October 22nd, 2007, 01:53 PM

I haven't tried the seabands but have heard lots of positive stories from others. The ginger tablets (available from pharmacy) are working brilliantly for me a the moment.

Good luck!

**LisaBear** · October 22nd, 2007, 02:58 PM

i used ginger ale and dry crackers as my "remedy" worked wheni had chemo and just as good for MS... i founf the trick was keep your tummy full, liek nibble throughout te day and always sip drinks. i found fizzy gingerale worked best for me!! HTH good luck!!

MS is horrible, I still have it everyday and I'm 30wks. Nothing worked for me, I was prescribed drugs(Stemitil) but in the end refused to take them. The only thing that has worked for me personally is sipping cold powerade.

citygal · October 22nd, 2007, 07:07 PM

Hi, I tried the seabands for my first pregnancy....did nothing for my MS. Ginger made me feel worse. The only thing that helped were hot chips - especially KFC. Go figure! Didn't help my figure, but as I had it 24 hrs a day every day for the entire pregnancy, all I cared about was some relief

At least with this pregnancy I seem to have been spared

Enchanted · October 22nd, 2007, 07:15 PM

They didn't work for me

If I still have them I will let you know and I can post them to you if you like. No guarentees though... I might have been so mad that they didn't work I threw them out! PM me and let me know if u want me to have a look!

**ticklish** · October 24th, 2007, 07:09 AM

Thanks for your responses ladies and for your kind offer Daniellec. I have already purchased my Sea Bands.

Yes -they seem to be giving me some relief - even felt kinda normal yesterday but then I get really really nauseous again if I leave it too long to eat

Hi everyone,

I have only just found out I am pregnant and everything feels like it is making me sick...I fancy something and then I can't finish it so I throw it out..if I can still smell it, it is awful!

I think I am only a few weeks pregnant ( I find out tonight how far along I am) and a close friend told me that it is too early to get morning sickness. Is this right? I feel sick on and off nearly the whole day and night.

This is the first time I have ever been pregnant so I am a bit confused..

Does anyone have any ideas about how to relieve the sickness?

Thanks...
