Not throwing up - so why is it so distressing?

[Toomanytoomany]

I hadn't thought of the ginger.

THanks for the sympathy, I feel like a grade-a whinger.

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.

Not that I really had MS but when I felt queasy a Ginger Nut Biscuit and a cup of tea really helped..

I always had ginger nuts beside me and I would nibble on them

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?

Hope it doesn't last too long for you *hugs*

I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one feeling like that. This is my 4th pregnancy and whilst with the others I had slight nausea with this one I have it all day, and by night I just feel awful.

I started to think it was all in my head as I too don't feel like vomiting. I will try some of the suggestions re ginger biscuits, and also the protien. I'm only 6 weeks and it seems to be getting worse, could be a long pregnancy at this rate.

Hope you are started to feel better toomanytoomany

First of all let me say you are a legend!
This is only my second and I found it soo much harder looking after small people and dealing with being ill.
I seriously hope you are feeling better soon, and if not that you have someone just as amazing to help you out.

Yes, it's a relief to hear when others are feeling the same.

My m/s usually peaks about nine weeks then tapers off and is usually gone completely by twenty weeks. Thirteen weeks to go...

I've figured out that if I want to get anything done, it has to be in the first half of the day because by the middle of the afternoon, I'm totally cactus. I took the kids to the zoo yesterday thinking it would take my mind off it, and we had to keep stopping for snacks and rests so I could stop moaning. The kids were really good about it. Then I got home and just lay on the bed. Dh is being very understanding. I'm nervous about how I'm going to manage at work next week.

I just wanted to offer you . Most people have already suggested what I would have so good luck and rest up when you can.
