Did you have more m/s with twins?

Marychaille · February 2011

I wasn't sick at all with DS and I was sick for months with DD. This twin pregnancy is kicking my a$$. I'm on Zofran and Reglan and if I don't take it, I get sick. I hate taking medicine while pregnant but I don't have any other options that work. I have gotten sick twice this morning already before I could even get to my Reglan.

Has anyone else felt like they are sicker with twins? When did your m/s go away? I'm almost in the second trimester and we have a vacation planned when I'm 14 weeks.

I think m/s is unfortunately very individual to both the person, and the pregnancy. There are ladies here who never had a day of morning sickness, and yet moms of singletons who end up hospitalized for transfusions for dehydration due to m/s.

As for me, I was SICK until around 13 weeks, queasy occasionally until 20 weeks, and then dealt with heartburn until I delivered. Probably not what you want to hear. I hope you feel better soon, m/s is no fun at all!

I never had a singleton PGCY but I had hyper-emesis gravidarum with my girls. I threw up all the way through, twice on the delivery table Crying Why not bookend the pregnancy with puking, I say! fuckinghyperemesis...

I had my tubes tied because once you've had HEG you're likely to have it in subsequent pregnancies and I would not be able to survive it again.

I was sick with older DD and even sicker with the twins. I am sure you don't want to hear this, but I threw up and was nauseous my ENTIRE pregnancy! The morning I had them I threw up. I was on zofran the entire time. It sucked..

This. I have had plenty of issues during this (my first) pregnancy, but morning sickness hasn't been one of them. I get nauseous if I overheat; I've had bad reactions to prenatals; I have had a few nasty bouts of painful gas and diarrhea. (Not to mention the real problem issues that put me on bed rest.)

I hope you start feeling better soon!

i hardly had ANY m/s with DS1, so when i say i had more with the twins- keep in mind my comparison I still hardly had any with the twins- but it was for sure worse than dS1.

both pg's i only vomited 3x's.... 2 each time were from brushing my teeth- horrible gag reflex when pg.... once was a stomach virus, and once was bending over too far right after eating cereal and babies pushing just right on my stomach = puked out of nowhere.... into the garbage can thankfully

i had more nausea in early am hours- i kept teddy grahms next to my bed to eat at 3am.... it was gone around 9am.

Thankfully I haven't had any morning sickness. This is my first pg so I'm not sure if it would have been different with a singleton.

I've been very lucky and had none. In the beginning I felt sickish if we rode in the car for too long but that was it. Good luck!

mrs.cam · February 2011

No real morning sickness here, just queasy if I didn't eat all the time!

benkari · February 2011

I had morning sickness with all the singletons I m/c'ed but not a lick of it with the quads!

bmf8140 · February 2011

Yep! I was never once sick with my son, but the first trimester this time around nearly killed me. I pretty much ate saltines all day long! It gets better!!

I was fairly sick with my singleton but it was manageable. With the twins I was in the ER before my first appt (didn't even know it was twins yet). I ended up on a Zofran pump because the tabs didn't work.

blondek8 · February 2011

I had no m/s. Not a day the entire pregnancy. Sorry. Embarrassed

MuseumMaven · February 2011

This is my first pregnancy, so I can't self-compare. But I wasn't that sick. I never vomited (other than when I had food poisoning last weekend), but I did get really nauseous if I let myself get hungry. That faded around 14 weeks, and now I feel fine.

I know plenty of singleton moms who were much sicker than me. I think it's different for each pregnancy, regardless of the number of babies.

Horrible m/s with this pregnancy!!! FAR more than with my DS! More exhaustion and everything else too. It seems like my m/s has gotten worse the last week too so I'm not hopeful it will be ending any time soon. GL, hopefully you get some relief ASAP!

katezta · February 2011

I definitely have heightened symptoms this time. I had nausea and a little "gagging" with my DD, but only threw up 2x. This time I started zofran at 7 weeks and have puked somewhere around 15x even using the zofran. Much worse m/s and exhaustion. I am hoping the end of it is near because I am getting tired of it.

Torri106 · February 2011

With my DS my m/s was very tolerable..if i ate the queasiness went away. The end.

This pregnancy the m/s was AWFUL. I wished everyday i would throw up. Walking, someone touching me, getting up from sitting, sitting, talking, laughing...basically everything i did made my already nausea become much much worse. I also took Zofran which in turn made me so constipated. I stopped that and dealt with it. I started taking unisom and b6 at night and that let me at least sleep.

My worst time period was 8-12wk. Now (15wk) i still get queasy but it so much more tolerable that it doesnt bother me at all.

GL and congrats on your twins!!
