Terrible MS - normal?

[veydajane]

Hello,
I'm 7 weeks pregnant now and have been suffering from awful ms. It's strange though, because even though I'm bent over the sink trying to vomit, sometimes nothing comes up. I only make the sounds and my tummy somersaults like I am going to vomit, but no.

Other times I really do vomit (although mainly it's just a little bit each time even though I'm gagging for a few minutes).

The terrible thing is the nausea though. I can hardly watch tv or go on the computer to read as I get too sick and feel even more like vomiting!

I'm lucky in that I don't have to work so have been in bed for the last week or so, getting up to only go to the bathroom.

Anyone had a similar experience with ms?

Can relate totally - It's just awful - I can only hope that it gets better soon - if you're in Sydney you should call Mothersafe - they'll be able to tell you what you can take to possibly eleviate some of the yukiness - although in my experience nothing has worked - and I'm nauseas day and night

How long does it go on????? I don't have the need to vomit, or gag, but I feel utterly terrible!!! My first pg were m/s free, so this is hitting me harder than I thought it would. I just am so tired and nauseas and icky! DH has been a doll, but I don't know if I can take another six weeks of this!!

yep i had the same, but more often vomitted, the key for me was to not get hungry, have small frequent snacks like dry biscuits, ginger bisuits etc, i also used herbal teas, but to honest i had to ride it out!!

DW had very bad morning sickness as well. Her started at 8 weeks, probably peaked between 10 and 15-16 weeks, and then tapered off a bit, but persisted for the rest of the pregnancy. I remember that was one of the biggest reliefs for her when our babies were born - not feeling sick any more.

Hang in there. DW found that tonic water helped more than any medications.
