Altitude and Morning Sickness

Andreaw1124 · May 2011

Call it a coincidence, or not?but we just returned from a 5 day trip to Dallas, and I felt wonderful the entire trip (aside from a few food aversions). From the day we landed until the day we came back. We live in Colorado at an elevation of 6,035 feet above sea level. Dallas is at about 430 feet. Today, I feel awful. I know hangovers are 10 times worse at this altitude (due to less oxygen), but never thought that altitude could have such an impact on Morning Sickness.

For those of you that are REALLY sick?I can?t imagine how you would feel here. I?m ready to GO BACK. Yuck.

Where in CO? I am in SE Denver.

I bet your just getting used to the altitude again. I hope you feel better soon.

I am from Colorado too! So sorry that you don't feel good. So far the m/s hasn't kicked in for me yet. I also did fine when we got back from Florida about a week ago.

My dad used to always get altitude sickness when he would come visit and I know that is quite common.

Awww...thanks! I'm in the Springs! We were just in Denver weekend before last for that amazing U2 concert.

I grew up in the Springs! We were also at the U2 show. Thought it was going to vibrate the baby right out. haha. Fun time.

I'm in Colorado also - Centennial. I was NOT at the U2 concert, although we had tickets for the original date then had to get a refund because the rescheduled date didn't work for us.

Anyway, I had a similar experience. I went to Las Vegas 2 weekends ago and the Sunday I got back I felt awful and I have ever since! It seemed to have kickstarted my morning sickness or something! No fun at all.

Good luck!

I live in CO too (Lakewood). I went for a hike in Estes Park on Sunday and lasted about 20 minutes. I couldn't catch my breath, had a headache, and felt queasy. I hike all the time, so I hope this goes away in second tri! Good luck to you, I hope your m/s becomes manageable soon!

Ha! Awesome. I thought the entire state was there and it was LOUD. Where did you graduate HS?

Nice! Another Colorado Springs mama! Hope you continue to feel good. I was just bragging about how awesome I was feeling about 2 weeks ago when...BAM. Didn't have any morning sickness with DS (totally lucked out). When we have realtives come visit...we get a kick out of how little it takes them to get tipsy. They are always moving pretty slow the next day.

Ok ladies, anyone up for a road trip to Kansas for a day. I would love to remember what not feeling sick is like.

I also thought the baby was going to vibrate out at the U2 concert, and I'm pretty sure the two smoking joints in front of us were surprised to see me with my shirt over my mouth trying to hold back the puke when they toked up.

You know I never thought about it, but you're probablly right.

We were just in Seattle this weekend and I felt great all weekend. Came back here to MT where we're at about 6,350 and I feel awful. :S

I go by Andie as well! I don't think I have ever met another Andie that spells it with an "ie" instead of just an "i". Way cool. (it is my nickname for Andrea). Hope you feel better soon.

I'm in Colorado Springs too. I'm glad my MIL isn't planning on visiting this summer because there's no way I'd be able to hide how I'm feeling right now and we're not planning on telling her any rime soon.

Free2Sing · May 2011

Oh dear... I hope this isn't true! I grew up in the Appalachian mountains but haven't lived there for a few years & my ears pop when I go back now. I've been super sick & I'm headed there this weekend, by myself! Let's hope this passes before then.

That's funny. I'm from the Dallas area and went to Aspen during my pg with DD. I was SO sick all the time at home, as well as on the way there and the drive back home, but while I was in Aspen I was fine. I attributed the feeling better to the altitude. Maybe any change in altitude helps? I don't know!
