All day sickness and green stuff aversion

clairmeij

Blergh. I could punch myself in the face for all the times I've told people that their morning sickness is 'a good sign that everything is ok'. What an obnoxious thing to say!

Anyway. The London trip isn't going too badly, fingers crossed the trip home will be an easy one on Wednesday and that my aversion to green food goes away soon.

Anyone else feeling the puke fairy's magic?

I was like that with A, I was horribly sick all day every day for the first trimester. I relied on unsalted matzo crackers and peppermint tea, iced or hot, to keep me alive.

If you can find Reed's Ginger Brew, definitely give it a try, it's an all natural ginger ale that comes in different flavors, most natural and health food stores carry it.

Yup. I was pukey until week 18. I pretty much lived on lemonade and any kind of juicy fruit (watermelon, clementines, kiwi, pineapple) for the first 4 months. Oddly, the thing that got me the worst was walking our dog at night....even if I didn't have to pick up her poop. Just the smell of the evening air would set me off.

Hope you feel better soon!

I thought I was over my morning sickness around 18 weeks but some days it will sneak up on me and kick my arse!  My versions were anything strong smelling.  Now it's not so much aversions as I LOVE food now.  Its just lingering nausea.

I live on zofran, lemonade and dry cereal when I am at my worst.

I hope you feel better soon and once it passes it is gone!

Fortunately no.  I never puked with my first pregnancy and hopefully won't with this one.  There were times of the day I felt a bit nauseated but I found drinking lemonade, and eating things like apples and nuts really helped.  I hope you feel better soon!

I was only bad in the evening like at dinner time. Once or tiwce in the AM. I found a couple of crackers would help but what really did it was I actually needed to eat. I ofund the longer I waited to eat the worse it was. So I went to smaller meals every two hours or so until about the mid 2nd tri.

Oh and I never got over two things:

-meat...ugh. I had to have it ground up super fine and in sauces. Just the thought of chewing it made me gag.

-cleaning the toilet. I could not even look at the toilet water before I went to the bathroom. No idea why but it just made me ill.

Thanks ladies!

I was in all day client meetings from Wednesday to Friday last week, and on Thursday I almost chucked up on our client's feet. He works for one of the 3 largest companies in the world. Go big or go home, so they say...

My favorite moment was the woman at Paddington station who smelled like she'd smoked a cigarette just before entering the station, and had a curry and whisky the night before. I would love to get the station surveillance video recording. I was constantly moving away from her, and wherever I stood she ended up close and breathing on me. Ergh, turning my stomach as I type.

London just stinks.

Throwing up hasn't started yet, but the nausea sure has. Apparently I have an aversion to peanuts..? I gag anytime I smell them, which sucks because they're one of my favorite snacks! Nothing else though... Yet. I'm sure it will be starting very, very soon.
