Morning Sickness Support Thread!

[cossie13]

I thought I would start off a thread for those of us really suffering with morning sickness and nausea - somewhere to help each other and give each other a bit of support, and advice.

I suffered bad with it when I was pregnant with DS and was nauseous from 8weeks until 24weeks. I'm hoping that it doesn't go that long this time but, this time, I'm only 5 weeks along and the nausea has hit very hard. I'm already struggling to cope.

How is everyone else getting on?

xx

I really struggled last time, was sick everyday multiple times from 7 weeks until the day she was born!
I'm 6+5 and starting to feel the waves of nausea in the evenings. The first time I felt it I cried cause it instantly took me back to how poorly I felt last time haha. It's obviously coming I just hope it's not going to last as long this time.

 

[cossie13]

Aaaaw no that's awful! It make mine seem like nothing in comparison. But it's just the most awful feeling that whether you suffer for 2 weeks or 9 months it's good to have some support and know that others are feeling the same.

My fingers are crossed for you. 9 months is too long to go feeling (and being) sick. Mine has started earlier this time - at 5 weeks as opposed to 8 weeks! X

I'm not doing too great either. What's worse is that I work 12 hr shifts. I hope it subsides soon

 

[cossie13]

My nausea is just getting worse it comes randomly throughout the day too so I can't even plan my day around it

Mine comes in the morning and evening with some relief midday ��Work 13 hour shifts so difficult at work! Also leaves me with a permanent feeling of food being stuck in my throat which is awful ��

 

[cossie13]

Does anyone else just get nausea? I've not actually been sick (yet) but the nausea is so bad it's like my mind is refusing to acknowledge food even exists. I can't bear the thought of eating anything the problem is I feel like such a fraud because I'm not actually throwing up!! Anyone else feel like this?

 

[Loveandpeace]

Cossie Im the same,never actually vomited (almost did a few times) but its just been severe nausea for me. Im almost 12 weeks so its nowhere near as bad but couldnt face any food at all. However i found that i forced myself to eat something plain within 10 mons of waking up the nausea didnt come. Although then id be suffering wind the rest of the morning and whatever I ate repeated on me! Urgh!

Yes
I'm in such a pickle today, closest I've been to actually being sick so far. Nothing is helping, I just want to go to bed!

 

[cossie13]

It's really horrid is just reminding myself that it's all worth it in the end but it's not helping as much as you'd think!

Nausea has really started these past couple of days, I was sick yesterday but not too bad. I love my food but at the minute I can't face much, I had a crisp butty for my tea last night haha. It's weird because I'm so happy to have symptoms but dunno how I'll be when I'm back at work next week ��

 

[cossie13]

I'm the same. Symptoms to me mean that everything is ok. It sort of reaffirms that there is a baby in there and that's why! But it's not easy to deal with at work if I'm honest. I work with kids so trying to keep upbeat and happy and do lots with them is really tough! What job do you do? I found when I was having DS I was ok as I worked in an office so sat down 99% of the time and it was easyish to hide and cope with

I teach in a college, I teach people with learning disabilities so will have to tell me manager straight away because some of the students can be unpredictable, nothing has ever happened to me but I want to be careful more so during the first trimester when they don't know. Luckily my symptoms aren't all the time just comes in waves so hopefully I'll be ok. You're in a similar boat to me having to keep really upbeat and constantly moving about but then again I'd much rather do that than say at a desk x

 

[Haylian]

I feel sooooo sick! It just keeps getting worse. I know it's a good sign but seriously struggling. I always knew it would be harder this time as I have a 3 year old but it's getting me down. I feel like a terrible mother, I'm trying not to open my mouth haha, talking makes it worse, laughing makes it worse EVERYTHING makes it worse.
I am being a drama queen today I think, thank goodness I have the husband to help me out this weekend! Although I feel bad for him too for having to deal with me

 

[Muffinski]

You poor things! I haven't felt sick at all (so far), maybe it's coming soon. I hope you all feel better soon xx

 

[cossie13]

I know what you mean. Looking after a toddler while feel sick as a dog is really tough. I'm hoping it doesn't last long. We are off to France on the ferry at the beginning of September and I'm really hoping I'm not feeling too sick then

 

[Haylian]

Oh gosh I hope it's not bad for you then too, although just thinking about being on a boat right now is making me feel queasy

Cossie - if your still feeling nauseous i would definitely recommend acupuncture - it is expensive (I pay £35 for a session) but it makes a world of difference and I only have done it once for nausea so far. He has given me some little needles to wear in my wrists all the time with plasters over them and I can push them when I feel sick. It's a bit strange knowing I have the needles in me but it's working xx

Hi ladies,
I found this thread by accident as I am actually in my third trimester, not my first. I have suffered severe and persistent pregnancy nausea from 6 weeks to the present day (33 weeks). I feel so miserable. I haven't had a nausea free day for 27 weeks I don't think it's going to go either at this point.
Would be great to have others in the same boat to talk to.

Hi tea lady. I'm only 9+5 at the moment moment but really struggling with nausea.
My last pregnancy I was sick at 7 weeks and then every day until the day I gave birth, so I feel your pain . I'm so sorry you're not enjoying your pregnancy, I know it makes it so hard to enjoy and be excited when you feel so poorly. Have you tried different things to help? I'm guessing so with you being so far along now. Sucking mints defo helped me, Also love hearts sweets. Hope you get some relief soon x
