You poor thing all I can say is welcome to the club

at 12 weeks my symptoms have decreased but are still there. I have found an effervescent thing made by Swisse its B6 and Ginger ... tastes like crap but has helped me significantly with the neusia.

Also snacking regularly, which can be difficult, on dry toast fruit or veggies like carrot and celery and drinking lots of water has helped a little. It is hard to drink and eat when you feel like crap but I found it did help even just a little bit

good luck and wishing you a H&H pregnancy

Hi Geori!!

I had it pretty bad - it went from afternoon sickness, to ALL DAY sickness, and the same as you, not so much actual vomiting, just this exhausted, blah, tired, nausea, didnt want to move sickness!!!

I was pretty lucky at work, there is one day in the week i HAVE to be at work, but all the other days i was able to head home in the arvo when it kicked in!!

For me, i did start throwing up about week 8-10... probably only once a day if that, and it was more of a releif, the nausea would feel a little better after getting it out IYKWIM... by week 11 things SLOWLY got better, i would have good day, bad day, two good days, one bad day etc until about 13 weeks, then the good days started to out way the bad, and i would get a bit of nausea every now and then. i am at 16 weeks tomorrow (wahoo!!) and still a bit tired, but NO more nausea!!

I have had two friends who experienced morning sickness the whole way through, and i felt bad for them, but they both made it through with their bubbas,one has had another baby (again m/s the whole way through) and one has gone on to do it twice more, so it must have been worth it!

I found vegemite toast was the only thing i ate in the first few weeks, with plenty of juice, but honestly i couldnt stomach anything else. I found my elevit helped a fair bit, and keeping something in my tummy.

AND DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!!!!!! So if you do start throwing up, it helps you from being dehidrated!!!

Good luck, and i hope it eases for you soon!!!

Luv

Hi all,

I just found this thread and it's been a great one for me to read! I'm also pregnant with my first child and just had no idea how bad m/s could be!! I also have m/s sickness 24/7 (my only relief is when I am sleeping). Luckily no vomitting but it is so hard to cope with work and life in general when I feel so sick all the time. I have tried heaps of things - B6, ginger, etc etc.. but nothing has made it much better.

I have also wondered why anyone would try for a second child. But it must be worth it in the end.

Even though I wish other people didn't have to go through what I am going through it is comforting to know that I am not alone in my suffering.

Here's hoping it all ends at 12 weeks!!!

hey everyone,

I've been relatively lucky with my m/s - haven't actually vomited, but have just felt queasy - mornings and night (specially bed-time, ick!). But one thing I've found helps is acupuncture. You want to go to someone reputable (they need to know what they're doing for PG), but the first 4 times after I'd had the acupuncture, I actually thought i had m/c'ed cos i felt so much better. Just a thought.

I'm also hooked on lemon & ginger tea (Twinings) - helps me force down the toast prior to getting outta bed in the mornings!

STARBRIGHT Thanks for checking in on me hun. I still have all day nausea but luckily it has toned down. I don't get the waves of feeling like vomitting much at all now. I think I've managed to stay away from the things my body doesn't like. I am now drinking heaps of water which was the key ingredient, I think.

BELFIE Wow... Maybe I should look into the AP. I do have those tea's but the thought of drinking them turns my stomach.
