Nausea vs actually throwing up

britt1141 · November 2010

Good morning! I have been trying hard not to throw up no matter how nauseous I'm feeling... Last night, though, I gave in and slept in the bathroom... Still nothing came up...

I was wondering... do most of you just have nausea or are you actually getting sick? If you do throw up, do you feel better afterwards?

I know this is a gross question, I'm just trying to figure out if its normal to not get sick and if I would feel better if I actually did... Thanks ladies!!

It's completely normal to not get sick. If it would make you feel any better, I couldn't say...I never got sick with DS and haven't with this one either. I'm emetophobic, though, so will do anything in the world to avoid it

I usualy get nauseous at night It starts around 5 and usually doesn't let up until I fall asleep. I haven't thrown up yet, but from what I've heard throwing up when your pregnant is like having a hangover so it really doesn't give you any relief after you throw up.

I have never gotten sick, just nauseous. Mine has been hitting around the middle of the day/afternoon.

MrsEmilyS · November 2010

I get both. I feel better for a few minutes after throwing up (when I make myself quickly eat something in hopes I'll feel better) but it doesn't last long. I usually drink gingerale afterwards too.

Lately my m/s has been letting up (knock on wood)

I was throwing up several times a day before I was put on Zofran. Now it's less frequent. I've found throwing up provides some momentary relief to the very intense nausea that precedes it, but some nausea remains throughout the day.

When I was just nauseous all day, I thought actually throwing up wouldn't be much worse, but then when I started actually throwing up several times a day, I definitely realized throwing up definitely is worse!! I try to avoid it whenever possible.

Good luck!

I've only been experiencing nausea in the evening too.

amberpro · November 2010

When I've thrown up, the intensity lets up a bit, but I still remain nauseas. But my vomiting was usually limited- not near as bad as some girls. Then there are the dry heaves. That helps nothing.

Mine's letting up (yay)... not every day and just nausea- no more vomiting or dry heaves. Hope you feel better soon.

britt1141 · November 2010

Thanks everyone! Guess what I really need to do is just get used to the fact that I'm going to feel sick for a while no matter what I really do...

Glad to hear that some of the morning sickness is clearing up for a few of you! I'm looking forward to that!

I get the nausea all day long without throwing up. I've often wondered if I would feel better if I just threw up. I have such a fear of throwing up though. I think it's one of the absolute worst feelings in the world. There have only been a handful of times so far where I thought I was just about to throw up, and those times I've taken my Zofran and laid down on the cold tiles in the bathroom and managed not to throw up.

Usually I just get nauseous .. haven't thrown up (yet).

Becky262 · November 2010

I feel so much better after dry heaving or actually getting sick. I stop feeling nauseous and I'm usually able to eat a little something. I figure why fight it for hours and hours, just get it over with and move on

And yes, I'm usually just queasy (I feel like I'm hungover) or I just dry heave. I've only thrown up maybe 8 times in the past 2 weeks - and that's a lot more than when I was m/s with DS

DuckDuckGoose123 · November 2010

I've only thrown up once (and dry-heaved a few times), most of the time I'm just incredibly nauseated. The time I threw up it did offer some relief, but I had eaten some sweet snacks on an empty stomach and I think they didn't agree with me - I needed real food.

amanda1680 · November 2010

I've had constant nausea and indigestion since about 5 weeks. I have not thrown up once, but I've lost 7 pounds Sad

mlmtgg · November 2010

I haven't thrown up at all, but have been very nauseaus on and off. only things that seem to help are the usual things - a little ginger ale, eating more (really, you must - crackers, a cereal bar, something), a tums if I have to, or some mints.

MrsHteaching4life · November 2010

Just all day nausea. I have dry heaved a few times. Also nothing makes it go away.

LauraOTR · November 2010

I've only had nausea, no throwing up. I pretty much never throw up though *knock on wood.* Can count on one hand the number of times I've thrown up in my life.

The nausea still sucks, though.

SarahinRichmond · November 2010

I'm pretty much just nauseous without throwing up. I do a lot of dry heaving though.

CarlaAndJames · November 2010

Just nausea here. It's such a chore to eat that I have little conversations with myself and breathe in deep through my nose to try to relax my diaphragm and not throw up - mostly because I don't want to have to eat all over again!

rainstar752 · November 2010

I've mostly had nausea- just threw up once. Hoping I can avoid that again, I hate throwing up!

skidunks · November 2010

My m/s just started this past week, it started in the evening, then added the morning and yesterday it was all day. So far I haven't thrown up up last night I was pretty sure I was going to. I laid in bed and ate a cracker and took some deep breaths and it went away so I could fall asleep.

I'm terrified of throwing up and I've heard lots of people say they don't feel any better after they do, so I held out as best I could. I hope to join the "getting over it" club soon!

kbel424 · November 2010

I only have nausea, no actual vomiting.

Kgibbs1984 · November 2010

I actually did feel better the one time I threw up. I find that making sure I don't let myself get very hungry helps ease the nausea. I eat lots of little snacks rather then three big meals. Ginger ale helps too but DH is out of town for work and I can't get the new bottle open! I gave myself blisters trying. Indifferent

markyslove · November 2010

My nausea is in and out all day. I've only been sick once thus far and I actually did feel a lot better for about an hour.

Hopefully it passes soon for all of us!

Ditto, but thanks for the question and answers everyone! I have a huge fear of throwing up. When you're sick, it at least helps you feel better afterward. I was wondering the same thing for morning sickness... sounds like not. =( ugh

This is me too, with a few dry heaves that turned to vomiting. Zofran has helped a lot.

This all the way.

YouAreMyILoveYou · November 2010

I get sick every.single.morning.

I wake up, walk to the bathroom and throw up bright yellow bile for about 5 mins. Then I'm good to go for the rest of the day.

Well, I'm nauseous all day, but I don't puke again.

This isn't new for me though. I was really sick with both of my girls. I will probably get my Zofran rx when I see my OB on Thursday.

PinkPearlGirl · November 2010

I have had both and contrary to what most pregnant women say, I actually feel a lot better after I throw up! The relief doesn't last all day, but it will hold me over for about 30 min to 2 Hours. To me, it's worth the relief. Today was a bad day though. I had vomiting and nausea all day!

This was me with my DD, anytime of the day I walked in the bathroom all I had to do was look at the toilet I would throw-up. LOL

This pregnancy has been pretty rough, no throwing-up just extreme nausea. I've been on phenergan and Zofran.

GL to all of you.

LexGator · November 2010

I am nauseous most of the day with several bouts of dry heaving a day. I've only actually thrown up a handful of times in the last few weeks--I quickly figured out that certain foods trigger the vomiting, so I'm avoiding them.
