Re: 8 weeks and still going
Luckily I haven't been vomiting, but I have felt nauseated! This will be the third week of nausea, and tomorrow will begin my 8th week of pregnancy.
At first I couldn't eat anything because all smells made me queasy, and even thinking about certain foods made me want to vomit. I tried different things each day to see if it made me feel better, and I just seemed to continue adding to the list of gross and disgusting foods!
I have figured out now that eating makes me feel better overall, and fruits and heavier, starchy foods have tasted good and have been pleasant for me to overcome the nausea. I ate mashed potatoes and gravy with a big piece of meatloaf for an early dinner one day this weekend and felt amazing the rest of the night! Today I made sure I ate bland, but healthy cereal with strawberries for breakfast along with a banana and yogurt and grapes, and now I am feeling pretty good.
Just try to eat what sounds good, and go with that, so that you fill up your belly. Now that I have had a couple days in a row with forcing myself to eat, and then feeling good I have had more energy and less weakness! And don't feel bad if something that sounds good to you may not have the greatest nutrition, because at least you are eating something! Then maybe you will feel better and more food will sound good
Good luck!
Girlie I'm 8 weeks and I'm nauseous all day long. I have been vomiting alot too and I really hope it goes away because its horrible to feel like this all day.
With my first child I vomited every single day up to 6 n 7 times. I pray to God this isn't the same.
So, J yes I do feel like crap lol
Can't deny Im still very happy...
I am 8 weeks 5 days and I feel nauseas & have headaches pretty much constantly. I try to snack on saltine crackers or peppermints, too.
I've been having lots of nausea and fatigue! I can barely make it through a full day of work without feeling like I've ran a marathon!
Thankfully for me, I've only vomited 3 times so far. But there are days, like today, I just feel like dog poo!
I'm 8 weeks and this is my first pregnancy. I guess before I got pregnant I always heard "morning sickness" and thought you just got sick in the a.m. and went on with your day.. whew was I wrong!
I am nauseous morning, noon and night, but the vomiting only comes in the evenings i've noticed. And it gets really bad if I don't eat every two hours. It's so hard to eat when you're already nauseous.. ugh!
You should ask your doctor about Zofran. It has really helped with my nausea! Otherwise, yes, I agree with everyone just eat what sounds good! I definitely feel better when I make myself eat, which may be why I've already gained more weight than I should
Good luck.
Oh, and I hear Vitamin B6 helps as well, you may want to ask about that.
I am 8 weeks today, and very greatful to be pregnant. The nausea has been on going now for about 2 weeks, so far I have not been vomitting but feeling ill most of the day. I have also noticed that I have a hard time with certain foods. Vegetables seem to be difficult, and I used to eat a huge sald everyday for lunch. I am finding that the carbs and fruit are easiest for me to tolerate. I have also found that I am needing to eat something every 2 hours or so or the nausea is worse. My sister in law is a NP and suggested greated ginger and lemon in hot water to help with the nausea, and apparently you can get some acupuncture to help as well.
I think we all just need to hold in there and remember we are growing little miracles and hopt that it passess soon.
