1st Trimester

Every day, like clockwork at 4 pm

My M/S kicks in. What is that about? Its minimal in the morning (until I try to eat breakfast, which I have to force myself to do), fine all day, and then WHAM, at 4 pm every day I start to feel absolutely awful.

Silly baby. It's not even morning!  :)

  • Thats the way it was for both of my previous pregnancys there are hormones that spike in the afternoon is what my OB said. =(
  • Do you feel better if you have a mid-afternoon snack?

  • That's what I'm trying to do, too, hoping it will ward it off for awhile. I eat a snack at like 3:30 or so, and so far it hasn't helped ...
  • I'm the same way - fine the majority of the day and then in the afternoon it hits me! I'm kinda glad, though, because I'm usually on my way home from work at that time. I definitely would call mine "afternoon" sickness!!!

  • I've heard that protein is the way to go for anti-nausea snacks. ?Cheese and eggs have been yummy for me, but I don't know if they're on your "can't even think about 'em" list, but either way, try protein. :)?
  • Try starting to sip a full-calorie decaf soda around 3pm.  Sip it slowly & make it last for about an hour & a half :)  That always helped me.
  • That happened to me until 12 weeks.  Although I would throw up in the morning, I'd feel better immediately afterwards until late afternoon...then I was a goner.  Nothing worked, all I can wish you is good luck and this will pass.

    I call mine all day sickness :(

  • I actually feel it kick in around 11-11:30 AM.... it usually gets better by evening.  I have found if I go work out and then eat something afterwards it is sooooo much better!

    If I can't work out, eating a snack seems to help as well.

    Hang in there!
