What do you mean "morning sickness/nausea"?

The most frustrating part about my pregnancy is that I can't do very much without irritating my morning sickness.  Firends and family have lots of suggestions about how to mitigate nausea, but I do't know how helpful most of these will be since I don't really feel nauseous.

When I think of nausea, I think of an upset stomach, or that quesy feeling that you get...in your stomach.  My tummy doesn't really bother me.  I just have this all day gagging sensation which often results in either throwing up or dry heaves.  But I'm not nauseous the way I would be if I had the flu or a stomach bug.

Is this gagging sensation covered by "nausea" and morning sickness or am I crazy?  Has anyone else ever experienced skipping over "nausea" and going staright to vomiting/dry heaves?  I'm almost 16 weeks in myfirst pregnancy and there doesn't seem to be an end to this in sight.

    Every pregnancy is different. What you described definitely falls under the nausea umbrella.

    I had this for a really long time (still not totally gone) - even just opening the fridge made me gag (so weird!) but once I started Zofran that really helped and stopped the vomiting - maybe something to talk to your doctor about?

    Well I always had the upset stomach that went with the heaves (and still do every once in awhile, I'm 27 weeks now) I'd recommend maybe having some no-sugar hard candy by you and popping one in when you feel the heaves are ready to start. I always found that a cup of green tea with a slice of candied ginger and a squirt of honey helped me but of course I was tipped off way before hand with the upset tummy.

    If nothing else, pose this to your Dr. and like someone else said, you may get a prescription to help with it if it happens a lot. Wish you the best of luck! (It will start to subside soonish)

    Thanks everyone, I feel much less weird after your feedback.  My next Dr.'s appointment is in a week and if I can make it that long I will definitely inquire about the zofran.  I'm giving preggie pop drops a try as well.  The sour taste is nice, but some times sucking on the hard candy triggers my gagging, so we'll see if these do the trick or not.
