Can't shake the nausea and exhaustion

Ginkeez

And I'm sick of it.  I am just entering 2nd trimester and I feel worse than ever, and I find that I can't help but lay my head down on my desk and take a little nap. 

 I am nauseous in the morning no matter what.  Then if I let my stomach get empty, nausea.  And Now it seems to be when my stomach gets too full. 

I find myself wondering if it's here to stay for the length of my pregnancy.

Things got better for me at 15 weeks.  Hopefully you are almost there.

mine started easing up around 16 weeks. i thought it magically goes away when you enter 2nd tri but thats not the case for a lot of women. hope you feel better!

I was thinking the exact same thing this morning.  I am not quite as tired but the nausea is is still here.  I seriously have to eat something every 20-30 mins otherwise I am miserable!  I hope it gets better for the both of us!!

I know how you feel.  Last Friday I offically joined 2nd tri and I was sicker than I have been since 6 weeks the whole weekend.  I have been feeling a bit better since then, but according to my mom, she was sick until around 16 weeks as well so I guess I shouldn't start hoping until around 20 weeks.

Mine got better around 14 weeks and now my nausea is only triggered by certain smells. Hope you feel better soon!

My doctor told me that it can be up to around 16 weeks before all of the first trimester fades so you still have time.  I didn't stop throwing up consistantly until around 15 weeks and still do from time to time.  Some repreive is better than none though!

I was still a mess at your point (on meds to function).

Things really improved around mid-way through week 17.   I don't take the meds anymore.  I have only puked a few times while brushing my teeth since then (coughing and teeth brushing sadly are still triggers).

I'm right there with you! Seriously the slightest of smells makes me feel icky.. It's getting kind of better though, but I work at Allstate so when people come in and they have been smoking or something I run to the bathroom. Hopefully things will start getting better soon!

 

Hang in there!

Weird. I was just tryign to fix my typo (stick=still). 

Oh the smell someone mentioned.  I work in Downtown Cincinnati and it either smells of urine, poop, or chemicals...or a mixture of some or all of them.  Then if I pass somone who's smoking...just yucky.

Not to be a downer...but I'm still feeling the exact same way you are feeling.  I'm given up hope at ever feeling "normal" again.  I feel your pain and I hope it goes away for you.

I felt awful at 13 weeks. I still feel crummy sometimes (mostly in the evenings) but it's a LOT better than it was.

I felt pretty crappy up through about 15 weeks, but now I feel much better.  I think my stomach is still sensitive, but I haven't thrown up in a month or so (21 weeks now) which is awesome.

 

On a related note, there are some medications that are relatively safe (think tylenol-level of safety according to FDA) that you can take that will help you keep food down.  My midwife gave me zofran, and although I know we're all really hesitant to take drugs while pregnant, it was the only way I thought I could keep working!  Might be worth thinking about, anyway.
