Anyone else with severe morning sickness?

Hi there, anyone else have severe morning sickness but it’s not considered HG (hyperemesis gravidarum)? This is my first pregnancy, I’m 12 weeks and I have never been this sick in my entire life. 

I am severely nauseous 24/7, I wake up in the middle of the night nauseous, puke usually 1-3 times a day, but I’m constantly snacking to keep from throwing up so somehow I’ve gained 10 lbs! I can barely get out of bed each day, I’m on leave from work. Watching TV and even scrolling on my phone or reading even makes me sick. Car rides are THE WORST (puking in a bag the entire time) even when I’m the one driving. Most the time I just have to lay in bed with as little movement as possible. 

I’m on reglan, unisom sleep tabs, and vitamin B6. Zofran gave me horrible headaches. My docs aren’t concerned because I’m keeping down enough liquids and food and I haven’t lost weight. But I feel like I’m slowly going crazy and feeling like I’m somehow being dramatic and that I need to just suck it up and deal with it because I don’t have it as severe as others. But I’ve dealt with some horrible sicknesses in the past (suffer from regular migraines, etc) but NOTHING compares to this. 

I also used to be very active, did high intensity cardio kickboxing 3-4 days a week, ride my horse 2-3 days weekly, love to get out and about and be productive. But I’ve been dealing with this for 7 weeks now and I just feel like death and can’t do a thing and it’s starting to get to me mentally 😭


Can anyone else relate?

    Oh yes. I’m so sorry. I’m 10 weeks tomorrow. Pregnant with our third and really having a hard time of remembering why we thought this was a good idea…. When you feel so awful, your mental state is a mess. My first pregnancy and this one have by far been the worst. And you’re supposed to be happy to be pregnant, but how can you be in such misery. I started feeling better with both my other pregnancies at 15 weeks. I’m counting the days. I’m also on Diclegis and zofran as needed. I eat constantly too and gained weight. Don’t worry about it. Hopefully it gets better for you soon. And I promise you’ll get back to working out again. I’m the same with exercise and right now I can’t even make it to the mailbox. I am still working but really struggling. Some days it is a good distraction, and others I have literally walked out. Distraction and constantly eating (protein for some reason this pregnancy) are the only things that help a little. I’ve gotten support for cooking, cleaning, and even taking care of my kids. I feel miserable and honestly guilty. You’re not alone.
