Experienced Mommies...please help...

This is my S.O.S... I felt GREAT weeks 4 and 5 -  week 6 into 7 - MISERABLE.  I am so nauseous that when I stand for too long I get shaky.  I'm not throwing up although sometimes I just wish I could.  Had to miss an important meeting today b/c I could not stand the thought of getting on a train. Trying sea-bands...B6... 

 

Does this usually really last all the way to week 12??!? I know everyone is different but I am so terrified for the rest of my pregnancy. 

 Commiserate please...

  • Are you drinking ginger ale? eating soda crackers when you are nauseous? You can tell your doctor how horrible it is and they can prescribe you something, i can't remember what but i was prescribed it with my last pregnancy.

  • Best thing I did was call my doctor. They got me a prescription. So far I feel almost 90% better.

  • It usually got better for me starting at week 10.  I also have good days and bad days and try to take advantage of the good ones.  Try eating small, easy to digest meals every 2 hours.  That usually helps me.

  • It just depends. With my first I was sooo sick and it lasted until about 14 weeks.

    With my second I still had yucky m/s but it was more manageable and it really got better by about 10 weeks.

    I totally feel your pain. Its hard to not only have to take care of yourself when you feel that crappy, but to have to take care of little ones too. Just try and take it one day at a time. This is my new motto. One day at a time. I am strong and I will get through this.

  • Try eating more protein.  Start the day with a higher protein breakfast if you can.  That really seemed to help me a lot.  I kept nuts, beef jerky, Clif Mojo bars(best tasting protein bars) on hand for morning snacks.

  • Only lasted 2-3 weeks for me :) then I felt great until I hit the delivery room.
  • My bad weeks with DS were 8-16. My doctor prescribed me Promethazine. It is an antinausea Med also used for people with motion sickness. It was an absolute God send. I will be asking for it again if my morning sickness gets out of hand (as you described) like last time.

  • I had a good friend who threw up until the day she delivered.  I'm crossing my fingers m/s goes away long before that!

  • I was a little nauseated around 7 weeks, nothing a little unisom + b6 wouldn't help.  I felt better from about week 14-20.  I was pretty sick between weeks 20-28, to the point I could only really eat the "BRAT" diet.  That magically disappeared, and I was fine in the 3rd tri.  Hope that doesn't happen again.
