New symptom for me- constant queasiness. It's not that bad. I don't feel like I need to go grab a toilet. I just feel "woosy" like I have a hangover almost. I'm about 7 weeks and this just popped up this week. I'm trying to figure out what makes it better, but so far only being flat on the cuch seems to do it. That doesn't work 24/7. What are your tricks?
Re: Almost constant quesiness anyone?
seriously?
yeah. I found if I just throw up when the bad nausea first hits, it goes away. Why be nauseous for 4 hours, and end up throwing up, no matter how hard I fight it
And to clarify, I wasn't shoving my finger down my throat or anything, just sort of didn't fight nature.
The things that help me are having something to snack on (like crackers or fruit, preferably in small pieces and eaten slowly to keep from eating a million calories!) throughout the day. Also make sure you're drinking enough for me being dehydrated makes it way worse.
I've also had some luck with sucking on sour hard candy (sour jolly ranchers work best for me) but don't like the idea of eating all that sugar...
like the other ladies i eat all day. i have to eat every hour to 90min. usually carbs. i was nervous about gaining extra weight, but that doesnt seem to be happening so far have not gained anything.
i wish i could tell you it gets better, i have been sick for about 4 weeks. im hoping its over in the 2nd tri.
when i feel a little better the heartburn kicks in, im not sure whats worse
This is my fourth pregnancy- and it's been a little different each time. I've never had full-on m/s, but would more describe it as a sour stomach. Keeping hydrated definitely helps, but dairy products work best for me- in small portions. Cottage cheese, milk, or even a small 8-10oz milkshake. (That's been my dinner 3 of the last 4 nights.) Right now I can't handle spices, meat, or sweets- so just go with what works and what you can tolerate.
In my experience, the minute you cross over into your 2nd Tri- everything changes back to somewhat normal. Your favorite clothes just don't fit as well.
