sick and unable to sleep

This is my 2nd pregnancy and with my first I had mild symptoms and a very easy pregnancy. Since before I found out I was pregnant I was slightly nauseated and now it's all the time. So much so it keeps me up at night because I'm so uncomfortable. I've tried tea, b6, candies everything nothing helps. If I eat I get sick and if I don't eat I get sick. its terrible. I work full time and have a toddler. Help! Anyone secrets tips? Please tell me this isn't an indication of what's to come.

  • Magnesium helps too. If you want to go the natural route, eat more nuts; otherwise there are supplements (check with your doctor before taking a supplement though). Keeping some crackers bedside and keeping hydrated can help to take the edge off too.
  • At this point, I would see your doctor for medication

  • I second pp, ask your OB about nausea meds. In the meantime, maybe try some sea bands.

  • This is me! The MS is so  much worse than anything I experienced with my first. I take Benadryl (doc approved) and that actually puts me to sleep. But I feel instantly nauseous when I wake up. Still, at least I can get a bit of sleep. Good luck! Hopefully this passes for all of us dealing with it!
