Not vomiting but CONSTANT nausea. Omg. And sooooooooo tired. 

halfthetree

So damn tired. And once a week I feel like I'm getting the flu, body aches, chills, and so exhausted I pass out at 5:00pm. 
Nausea is getting better, only bad in the afternoons and evenings now. At least I can eat in the morning.

JessyKV

Still all day nausea and exhaustion.  Also zero desire to be productive.  My house needs a major deep clean and I'm cuddled with my DS watching Good Dinosaur. 

ClaireCF

I really think today is the day I'm actually going to get sick. Usually the nausea dies down by early afternoon and I get a bit of a break until dinner time but I am on the struggle bus today.

ClaireCF

@JessyKV I love the Good Dinosaur! That sounds wonderful.

The vomiting is awful BUT I think I am going to die of constipation.  I don't know what to do.  

thankfully

I've gone from not great but tolerable to mostly awful. Headache, fatigue, nausea, almost everything is an aversion. I spend the day either in a fog barely able to focus from exhaustion or because I know the put in my stomach needs to be filled and I can't think of anything tolerable.

Nausea and slimy throat... Since week 5 and now I'm on 9.

Knottie42089123

Basically feel like shit day and night. And it's so isolating because I don't feel like doing much and I still haven't told people so I don't have anybody to vent to

mamaelle27

You may have read about my vomiting incident last night. Still feeling awful. Nauseous, vomiting, exhausted. I did not have it this bad last pregnancy. Anyone have any suggestions for what to eat? I am still hungry but nothing sits well (except junk food, grr) and I need to feed my toddler, too.

I'm nearly recovered from my febrile GI bug last week. 6w6d today. I'm doing well with B6 and doxylamine.... I actually didn't take it yesterday and felt worse so it's definitely working. 

im with @jesselayne8 ... The constipation is by far the worst. I don't want to take more meds if i can help it. I'm drinking a ton of water but that doesn't help. Anyone with good home remedies??

So much nausea

I had no idea you could sustain life entirely on chicken soup and lemonade...but it's possible. The nausea and vomiting struggle is real.

anitamargarita_82

I'm 10w2d, that constant pukey feeling passed at the end of week 7.  I'm usually pretty fatigued by around 1-2 in the afternoons now.  It feels like I have to drag myself around because I'm so tired.  I can't stand beef at all this point.  I used to love steak, well not anymore!  Gross.  Constipation used to be a real struggle until I switched my prenatal vitamins.  Now I have no issue what so ever.  I was told it's the iron in them that does it.  The ones I take now have a different form of iron in them.

Nausea... avocados sound like the most incredibly disgusting good atm and this is coming from a girl who used to love them. Nothing sounds good and every meal I'm struggling to eat and then not feel sick after. My boobs are still so sore and I've been an emotional wreak.

I am 9 weeks and I have been throwing up at least once the last couple of days and I really do not like it. Right after I eat my breakfast not even 2 minutes later Bam! I am running to the bathroom barley made it to the sink today. I am normally able to eat a decent lunch and a small dinner. I have trouble staying hydrated because well I am just not a big drinker so 64oz a day is hard for me I am maybe getting 32oz (any good tips for this). I also have been constipated I was put on a prescription stool softener as I already have hemorrhoids! I stopped taking it and a backed up with in the week so back to drinking that nasty mess. I have also been having a lot of round ligament pain and told my doc and she said totally normal just uncomfortable very time I move or sneeze or anything really. But I also contribute this to the throwing up and constipation those stomach muscles are getting a work out! I have also been very tired and went to bed at 8:30 last night and wake up with a stuffy nose. I have to say my boobs have been hurting less so that has been nice but my nipples are very tender!      

Assiram42

Same shit as last week. 

owensmom0807

I try to explain my husband that being pregnant is like being hung over. It's like that morning when you wake up and your hungry but nothing sounds good and you have to be still or you will puke. I was telling him imagine feeling like that all day every day. 

thankfully

@Perfectypo I feel your pain, I have an avocado aversion too and they are normally one of my main food groups. Had it last pregnancy too, and not my pregnancies before her. I will be curious to see if this baby is another girl. 

BellaO21

I'm not horrible this week... the exhaustion has lessened (although I am still falling asleep passing out on the couch by 9pm each night). I don't feel as nauseous has I have been. BUT scents are now starting to get to me... my husbands cologne, popcorn, and bacon in particular make me gag. My boobs still hurt, but it's more my nipples now rather than the entire boob

My husband and I had the EXACT same conversation yesterday! We were at a girlfriend's birthday party on Saturday night, and I fake drank while my husband actually drank. And I kept telling him on Sunday that I felt just as hungover as him!

mtvkv5

My nausea and vomiting is slightly better the past few days, only throwing up 1-2 times per day now (down from 4-5 times per day). Totally sucks and I cannot wait for it to pass!

This.  Sometimes I wish I could just vomit and get a little relief

I hear everyone on the constipation and nausea. I have not yet puked, but have ran to the toilet a few times. I keep thinking "today's going to be the day I puke." I have had a bunch of cramps but if I could just have a BM or pass some gas, I feel like the cramps would go away (looking into switching my prenatal as I feel that's what brought the constipation on). The food aversions are real - i really don't want to eat anything. Boobs are sore especially my nipples.  

LyndseyandConradsWedding

Swollen sinuses... constant nausea.... fatique... food adversion.... and omg gas! feeling like I've been run over by a bus  

sevenn

today i had a sudden, insatiable craving for a babybel cheese.  i went to grocery store, bought a pack, and guiltlessly ripped open the little plastic mesh with my bare hands from the privacy of my own car and scarfed one of those delicious wax covered wheels.  no shame.  

Terri912

Omg i have gas like every morning. I am feeling nausea through out the day and major heartburn and fatigue.

jtc330088

Well, just like my mother and grandmother, I'm having every possible pregnancy symptom at 7w4d. My morning sickness happens at night, and I'm so unbelievably tired but can't sleep well because of my back pain! And boy am I cranky! 

kfry22

Im itchy everywhere all the time. My armpits are the worse. 

sarahannexvi

I'm 6w6d today and had back pain almost all day. I get random nighttime nausea and I'm constantly craving salty, crunchy, or fried things. I actually ate an entire package of baked brussel sprouts, a bunch of bacon, fried chicken from Popeye's, french fries, and a biscuit for supper. Also, still constipated which is only adding to my bloating and nausea because I feel sick from being backed up. 

delujm0

So constipated.  and it's the hormones, not the prenatals, because I've been taking these same prenatals for 5+ years and it's never been this bad, even during my last pregnancy.  I'm so bloated that I look like I'm showing, and I'm afraid people are going to start to notice.  we'll probably tell people in about a month, assuming my 12/1 NT scan goes well, so just a few more weeks of hiding it.  but seriously....i just want to poop, and the fiber gummies that helped last time do nothing anymore.  ugh.

I have an aversion to every smell. I think I'm going to start cooking things in the crock pot in the garage! Every time I eat, I have diahrrea. I've had a cold with a bad cough for 2 1/2 weeks. Lets see, what else...Insomnia. My husband says I'm being dramatic. I'll show him dramatic! 

TansyMae

All day morning sickness. Constantly nauseous, I feel better when I throw up, but not for long. And I can smell everything, which doesn't help. Idk how I'm going to make it to work today, much less the polls!

Also, I am so weak because of not being able to eat. Is anyone else dealing with this? any suggestions?

berg

The nausea comes and goes.  But I started drinking a different brand of water yesterday and nearly vomited.  Now I need to go out and get an entire other case because I have to be able to have water at work.  I am longing for the day my appetite returns.  I will, for sure, eat ALL. THE. THINGS.  I'm not as tired these last two days, but I spent almost all of Saturday in bed.  And the lack of motivation at work is REAL.

mombod

So exhausted. My midwife warned it would be worse this time bc I am breastfeeding but holy crap its not normal to fall asleep at 7 pm every night. I know they say sleep when the baby sleeps but my baby is 19 months old.
Also food aversions are the worst. 

loopstation104

@LAMCH1980 I have ALSO had a bad cold and cough for 2 weeks now. I've been cough puking! It sucks! I feel for you. 
I had this the same last time, but I can't drink water out of glasses in public places like restaurants and at work. The glasses ALL smell like dirty dish water to me. Its so weird! 
My nausea has calmed down, so besides the cough enforced puking, I'm ok. 
I was able to take leave from work this week to get better (thank you Nordic country niceness). I'm Christmas shopping since everything needs to be sent. Also trying to avoid the endless annoying speculation about the election. I'm so over it.  

amberp1528

I have been puking everyday for the last three days. And since I saw my doc today she gave me something to help with it. I forget the name but the phramicist told me that it's not normally covered by insurance but mine did cover it which is great. Also switched to the gummie prenatal vitamins and order the sea sick braclets. I am a student teacher and don't want to have to run out of the room to throw up! 

Camsmycat

I am actually feeling somewhat better.  My symptoms started to ease up right at ten weeks.  Last night I cooked a meal and actually wanted to eat it afterwards!  And then had sex with my husband.  Things are finally looking up !  The end is in sight....at least until the third trimester misery sets in.

zseirecarg

@kassyfry I'm itchy too! Legs and shoulders/back mostly. I kept telling myself it was because of the weather (I'm in the Northeast) getting colder and my skin just being dry.

Sbruins20

I've also been super nauseous and feeling like I've been hit by a bus after teaching all day. Last night I came home and crashed at 7:00. My house is a disaster and poor DH is doing all of the shopping, cooking, taking care of DD, and cleaning(to his standard but I'll take it for now). The meds I have for the nausea are also causing severe constipation so that just adds to the list.

On a positive tonight is the first night I have felt slightly motivated to do anything. I'm hoping this is a sign things might get better soon and not just a one time deal.
