why does my body hate me?

[LilMissThing]

Im 18 weeks in 2 days and i feel more sick than ever. the nausea went about 16 weeks but now its back and 100 times worse, still havent actually been sick but its there lingering, i can hardly move without retching. I thought maybe i was coming down with a bug or something but its coming and going.
I constantly have to be drinking lemonade or sucking mints because i feel like my mouth just tastes of grease, like i licked a deep fat fryer or something and that makes me feel sicker. Please can someone tell me it will go and i wont have this for another 4 months. Instead of increased appetite ive gone the other way, dont feel like eating at all mostly because anything i do eat then makes me burp all day and i dont want to taste it 600 times over! sorry classy i know

hey hun i know what you mean i didnt have any m/s at all in the start but it has hit me now and i am over half way grrr, i have to snack all day it is the only way to get rid of the feeling the need to vomit and i know what you mean about the fat taste in your mouth,i have been having alot of fruit and baked in the oven type stuff as it the only thing that dont taste yuck I can not have a coffee at anyone elses house as there milk tastes like i drinking full cream.
I hope for the both of ours sake that it not going to last the rest of our pregnancy's if you find anything that helps let me know will ya and i do same

I'm sorry you are feeling sick again. With both this pg and the last, I didn't feel well until 20 weeks. Literally the 20 week mark - to the day, both times. It's awful, but some of us don't feel good until well after the first tri is gone. My poor mum had m/s for the whole 9 months I really hope for your sake you are more like me than her.

I have words of encouragment, even though they don't initially sound like encouragement- I has morning sickness until I was 6.5 months along- BUT, it did eventually get to the stage where it was much more "functional"- ie- I would get up feel rotten, vomit, then be ok-ish for the rest of the day. So even if it does continue for you, if can change to be a bit more bearable.

A LOT of my friends did not get rid of their m/s until about 20 weeks- so keep up hope! I feel for you, it so hard!

I really hope you are feeling better soon and i'm hoping i can offer some wisdom. I'm 26 weeks pregnant and my morning/all day sickness and vomitting is so bad it is preventing me from sleeping. Fell asleep this morning at 4.45 am. Ridiculous. This morning i went to my pharmacist-desperately needing help. He told me about b6,and believed i was probably deficient and told me that by increasing my b6 it would subdue if not stop my morning sickness. I explained i was already taking a pregnancy supplement but he showed me it only contained about 1mg of b6 wheras i needed to take a maximum of 100mg.Interesting. Anyway this is far from medical advice but please talk to your doctor/midwife or pharmacist. Today is the first day during the pregnancy i can actually say i feel great;no nausea!

Oh sweetheart your body does not hate you.

But you have my total sympathy, I've had to sit on the floor in the dark at work today and finish a total of 6 phone calls to run to the loo.
There is a benefit....it does have a finishing date.

I found early on cloudy lemonade really helped me i was drinking about 3 litre bottles a day! Now i dont know, ive cut out all fried food but still the grease is there its yucky.
Well i was dreading this because my mum had terrible sickness as well, only with her boys interestingly, with my older bro was so bad she was actually hospitalised as she couldnt drink water and was severly dehydrated almost to the point of her dying! So i really shouldnt moan, im no where near as bad as that. I was just hoping to be like my nan who had nothing what so ever with her 5 kids. Ah well, ill keep up the hope then that maybe my third trimester will be easy and bye bye churning belly.
