sickness and dry heaving

rmajbusiness · October 2013

anyone else feeling very nauseous but all you can do is dry heave? I do believe it's the worst feeling ever.

Yes, most of the time. Eventually, some acid manages to make its way out. I think most of my morning sickness is really bad reflux. Gross.

today was the most miserable I've been during my entire pregnancy. I'm 11 weeks. after a bath I just laid down and cried. this is just horrible

That's all I had for morning sickness... The good news is, for most women it gets better! Hang in there, you can make it through!

rmajbusiness · October 2013

thanks. I'm trying to. I know women say the second trimester is always better, I'm just praying I make it in one piece. I feel like my body is falling apart.

I'm sorry to you all. I went through absolutely horrible morning sickness and I know it's so hard, all I could ever do was lay in bed and either feel deathly ill or throw up. I know it doesn't help right now but it does get better! I thought mine would never go away.. But it did and I can function again. I'm 22 weeks. The tip I can give you that might help is that occasionally even now, I'll wake up and dry heave... If I take a really strong antacid at night, it doesn't happen. My morning sickness now is definitely caused by acid reflux. Maybe try antacids! Especially if you're just occasionally throwing up a little stomach acid. It's gross, I know.. But it's worth a try. Good luck and I really hope you start feeling better soon.

My first pregnancy I had no sickness at all.. My second pregnancy I had sickness from 6 weeks-32 weeks... And I hate that it's called morning sickness bc it was on and off all day! I found that ginger ale really helped!! Hope you feel better! I know it's no fun at all.

rmajbusiness · October 2013

thanks ladies. my dh brought me some ginger ale last night and it definitely helped, until I drank it all... then it was back to the usual.

The most helpful thing for me was to constantly have something like a mint or candy in my mouth at all times, and frequent, small snacks. Also, seabands help...for me they helped especially in the car.

@bootsie327 what is a seabands

JenBon727 · October 2013

I have the same problem. I just started Zofran today. I'm my old self again! I cleaned the house after work. First time in weeks, because I've been to sick.

They are acupressure wrist bands that target a pressure point for nausea. Here is a link:

You can find them in CVS or Walgreens where they have things like Dramamine. Seabands brand also makes a pretty good ginger gum that works well for nausea.

I'm about 7 weeks. I feel horrible in the morning and at night. Lemon water and crackers help me Problem is that I have no appetite to eat cause I'm so queasy all day

LaurelJoy91 · November 2013

That happened to me once last week as I was leaving for work, and then this morning (though I felt no nausea) right after I got out of bed. Both times I had no food in my stomach so it was nothing but stomach acid :S Other than that, I've had no vomiting, just nausea and lack of appetite.

SAME HERE!!! AHHHH, I just hope mine doesn't last 32 weeks. My family keeps telling me its a boy, because they were all sick the whole pregnancy with boys.

I took an antacid last night and this morning was the best I have felt in 2 weeks. I also started drinking a Sprite at lunch and have found that helps!

The hardest part is hiding this at work and pretending to be my normal cheery self. I am looking forward to the second trimester already!

RIGHT? I was doing student conferences this week and a few had terrible breath and were too close. I'm normally a positive, warm, encouraging teacher but I was like, "UM, HERE'S YOUR WORK. DO SOME THINGS DIFFERENT. GOTTA GO." Because I was going to vomit on them.

wtfisup · November 2013

Oh, and one of the graduate assistants has been like, "You seem tired. Are you tired? You've seemed tired for weeks." I finally snapped and was like, "I AM. I AM TIRED." Seriously. WTF am I supposed to say? I can't out myself yet.

Oh, and to answer the OP: I don't really throw up, but I get kind of an all-over gaggy feeling. With a gaggy burp. Sexxxyyyy.

rmajbusiness · November 2013

I went for my doc appointment and he prescribed this medicine to help with the nausea. it helped , but I've only taken it once. really trying to stay away from pharmaceutical treatments. I am preferringnatur route. :-)

Mrodriguez898 · November 2013

Yes I had the dry heaving part which is horrible! I went to Baby's R Us and bought Preggie Pop Drops (about $5) and eat one as soon as I feel nauseous and they help!

Lindsay808 · November 2013

I just recently started feeling better! But I am still taking Unisom/B6 at night, which really helps me since I use to get sick in the middle of the night/early morning. Zofran didn't work for me and just made me super constipated. I like that unisom and B6 are OTC with no side effects. Hang in there ladies!!!
