ginger ale isn't my friend. vent

So, today I woke up kind of thrilled to go for my DR appointment...until I got in the car and realized I was nauseated. I thought I was going to have to pull over at least 3 times in the 20 minute drive.  Once I got to the office it wasn't super bad. My OB was just like, I'm sorry for you, that's just how the cookie crumbles.

Now I'm home, haven't puked, but my goodness... I feel wretched. Ginger ale was my constant companion from the time of conception up until a few weeks ago...I was and still am quite sick of it.  I mean..really what more can I do? I'm on medicine to make me not throw up or be nauseated, but some days I still am.

 sorry to just dump I'm frustrated.

I'm sorry, I completely understand! I've been sick my entire pregnancy. My doctor JUST took me off of Zofran to try Aciphlex (sp?!) because now they think it could be really bad acid indigestion that I just never felt (weird)...the medicine seems to help a lot and it doesn't make me constipated like the Zofran. My dr. said that typically when you're so sick this late in pregnancy there is a reason behind it (this after a different one said "sorry, sometimes you just get sick in 3rd tri again"). So...it's worth a shot to ask if there's anything else they can do. I just accepted it when the other doctor said "Sorry, it just happens this way sometimes"

yeah, I know about the no ginger in it - I think it's more to make sure I'm drinking anything. I have some great ginger tea, but it's far too warm out for that. (I might just hvae to make some iced tea...)  maybe it's just a placebo... maybe I just need the extra sugar...who knows? either way it's helping for the time being.
