Not throwing up - so why is it so distressing?

[Liz]

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.

HTH.

I feel for you ladies,MS is something i'm really dreading.
I've had some mild nausea on & off,i'm 7 weeks today. Friday was the closest i've come to actually throwing up. At work it's hard as they don't know just yet & there's really only so many times you can pull the gastro story.

I've been finding if i end up feeling really hungry,it makes me feel worse. I've been keeping a bottle of water with me so that when i feel a bit of nausea coming on i just have a little drink. It seems to help ease it for a bit so far.
