Need Morning Sickness Support

BizEB

I am SO down in the dumps today about my never ending and horrible morning sickness.  I thought things had gotten better for me around 11-12 weeks but I seem to have taken a turn back for the worse over the weekend.  I'm just so sick of being so sick.  I really can't do anything- can't go to lunch or dinner with my family or friends because I gag from the smells in restaurants, can't have people over my house because I'm like a vomiting time bomb and I'm embarassed to have friends over during one of my "episodes", can't do things I love like cook or work out.  I even struggle to keep up with my son because any sudden movement seems to make things much worse in terms of the nausea.

Sorry to be such a whiner but this is now over 8 weeks of dealing with this crap, despite being on Zofran.  I just feel like it's never going to end.

I understand.  My m/s ended around 14 or 15 weeks, and I felt like it was dragging on forever.  I still carry the phenergen just in case.

I'm right there with you, it's still happening to me, too.  I can't offer any help, just understanding.

I have no help to offer, just to say that I am right there with you.

Yeah, I'm still feeling poorly, too. I sympathize.

Has your doctor mentioned the B6/unisom combo? If so, maybe you could ask about it. I take it 2-3 times a day, and it helps keep things mainly under control. Then I also have Zofran for "rescue situations."

I still puke or at least dry heave every day, but I'm able to function.

With the triplets the Zofran didn't work for me at all. I was switched to phenergan and worked like a charm. I could eat again and could funtion as a human.

I feel your pain. My m/s is starting to get a little better, but I still puke randomly and have moments where I feel absolutely horrible. But I have been able to eat a little bit more the last week or so.

I'm sorry you're so miserable. I was sick 24/7 until 22 weeks.

Zofran didn't do crap for me except cause constipation and headaches. Unisom/B6 didn't work. I used phenergan to help me sleep, but it didn't help the nausea. Kytril didn't do anything and was really pricey.

Reglan worked the best for me, although I still felt crappy most of the time. Around 12 weeks I wasn't able to swallow pills any more and went on a Reglan pump. Might be worth asking about it. It's a class B med like Zofran is, and it's also a lot cheaper.

It sucks.  I'm still having m/s at 18 weeks, BUT, smells don't bother me as much as they did in the first tri.  I can also open the fridge without dry heaving.  My DH literally had to leave food out for me b/c I couldn't open the fridge without puking in the kitchen sink.  Hopefully yours will get better soon.  Ask your doctor about other meds.

Same here! I am feeling tons better now... I did take a Zofran yesterday for the first time in a couple weeks because I had to go to the ::gasp:: dentist. The thought of laying in a chair with my mouth open and someone picking at my teeth for 45 minutes had me dry-heaving as it was. lol. Just as the m/s ended the headaches and heartburn began - at least that's been my experience. Fun Hang in there, hopefully you'll be feeling a little better within the next few weeks!!

I don't have any support other than it will get better!  Once the babies are born at the very latest.  I was sick w/ both of my pregnancies virtually the entire time.  I was on a Zofran pump for many weeks and had IV therapy at home.  It was miserable.  I felt much like you I was so tired of living that way.  As much as I hated being pregnant, I've already almost completely forgotten about how awful it was, almost!
