I have really disabling nausea that is distressing me more than I remember being distressed by "morning" sickness before. It builds over the day so that by the mid afternoon I just want to curl up in a ball and cry. I'm not actually throwing up and sometimes I wonder if it would feel better if I did.
This is child #6, and I've had morning sickness before and never felt so *distressed* by it (except #1 when I was vomiting constantly).
I don't understand why it is upsetting me so much or why I'm finding it so hard to deal with when I'm not actually vomiting. And I'm only six weeks so I guess I have a lot more to deal with...
its awful isn't it...
Feeling that ill is really debilitating (sp?) especially when you get no relief. Being a busy mum wouldn't help! Don't be hard on yourself, and try and rest up as much as you can
I found it hard work being pg with one other child. I think you are amazing!! I really hope it eases for you soon, but please be gentle on yourself. Do as little as possible, get some rest, eat when you can and look after you.
Hi
I really feel for you, I had morning sickness with all my 3 pregnancies .
I'm now 35 weeks pregnant with twins it was the worst form 8 weeks I was throwing up all day and I couldn't get out of bed, I couldn't look after my 3 other children My husband had to take time off work to help. I eventually ended up in hospital for a week.
I would go to the doctor .
Oh MS is so awful I feel for you..... I too had nausea from 6 weeks onwards and it was ALL day nausea and sometimes pretty bad but i never once vomited (although I felt like i could have especially when trying to eat something!!)
I found having a warm/hot shower made me feel better. I know it's only a 'temporary' measure but i found there wasn't much more i could do.....
What about ginger? Have you tried to take ginger? I know lots of pregnant women have tried this and said it helped?
I think if your nausea is that bad you can see a GP for some prescription anti-nausea drugs that are safe however GP's don't like to give them out especially in first tri you are only at the beginning, delicate early stage iykwim.....
I'm also nauseous but not actually vomiting (or hardly at all). It lasts all day for me too.
I am finding that eating helps. Even when I don't feel like eating, not eating will make me feel sicker. I seem to do best eating something with some protein in it every few hours, and absolutely not letting myself get really hungry, because by the time I'm really hungry I'm too sick to eat anything, and it all gets worse from there.
Maybe if you tried having a little bit of meat+bread, or cheese on a cracker, or something like that (my current favourite is a boiled-egg and lettuce sandwich), it would help. I'm finding that eating carbs or just plain salad/vegies doesn't help the nausea, but protein does.
Overeating is also bad for me, by the way - makes me feel totally sick -, so maybe be careful not to eat any really large meals, just smaller meals and snacks through the day.
oh you poor thing. I have all day nausea as my morning sickness too. I found I couldn't let myself get hungry coz then it would spiral. But if I sipped on a little bit of coke it eased my tummy enough to let me eat which then helped me feel better.
Dunno if I can help with the distress you feel with it, but I get really upset when I'm sick too (had gastro the other weekend and I was in tears - and also wondering if I could ever go through m/s again LOL) and I was crying coz I just HATE that nauseas feeling. Perhaps sipping some chamomile tea will help your tummy and help to calm you a bit?
Not throwing up - so why is it so distressing?
