Severe Morning Sickness

jillcanada

which should be called all day sickness. Despite no vomiting, NP put me on Zofran, and a "white" diet to increase my blood sugar levels. On the positive side she did a quickie ultrasound to let me see the LOs and their heartbeats. They both waved as they floated around

I had this, it was horrible, I learned to survive on carbs  (lots and lots of crackers, try the all bran ones so you get some fiber for preventing constipation..for some reason blueberry bagels seemed to work too) and lemon drops and pretty much anything that was citrusy, well, except for orange juice. I ate oranges like they were going out of style and my mom  would make ANY lemon desserts she could come up with...but the lemon drops got me through work....interestingly enough my girls LOVE LOVE LOVE anything lemony and citrusy (orange stuff) now...so funny!

 GL...I slept on my bathroom floor A LOT (day and night) and my fabulous boss was very quick with the trash can when I actually started vomiting.

For the first 18 weeks, I survived on Gardetto's snack mix when I would feel the morning sickness come on, as well as Kraft Mac & Cheese and mashed potatoes.  Real healthy...

I feel your pain.  I have been sick since 6 weeks.  puking daily...and all day nausea.  I take Zofran too....and when i can't stop getting sick, phenergan suppositories.  I have spent many hours on my cold bathroom floor.  I was throwing up 6+ times a day....its down to 1-2x now.  still its gross.  the only thing that sounds good is grapefruit.  I think I 've tried everything...

I will feel more relaxed after my next sono so I can check on the LOs.  My last sono was 4 weeks ago.

I was bad enough for Zofran too. Sometimes I would take the Zofran and then puke THAT up! Do you take the kind that melts on your tongue? I never could quit taking the Zofran the entire time I was pregnant but I did get to where I could take it every other day and be ok. My tip is to take it about 30 min before you actually need to get up and function if possible. Sonic drinks helped me a lot, cherry limeades! Good luck and keep taking your Zofran and drink so you don't get dehydrated.

Thanks, everyone. The meds aren't really helping yet. All I want to do is crawl under a blanket and cry until the pain and nausea goes away. And I was feeling so good for a day or two last week! Now I have to muster up the energy and write narrative progress reports for 48 students, which are due Monday
