Morning sickness !

[Beckyx]

I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant and the struggle feels so real already! I can’t stop throwing up and when I’m not throwing up I feel exhausted and have to nap lol.

Currently feeling really fed up, few cramps and twinges.

Anyone else experiencing the same? Know any tips for morning sickness ?

I have no advice other than I really feel for you. I have had it in all three pregnancies and it hasn't got any easier. Im 17 weeks with this one and am still vomiting daily its hideous. Just rest when you can and fizzy water does really help me. If you feel like its getting worse anti sickness would be worth a try I have been on it all 3 of mine and it helps a little x

I'm 9 weeks and I'm feeling the same. Don't let yourself get hungry would be my advice. Ribena has also helped a little as has ginger lemon and honey with hot water. DH has been sent out looking for sickness bands as we speak so I will let you know how those go too. I don't think there is much to do about the exhaustion except give in. I sleep 9 hours each night (with 3 or 4 breaks to pee) plus 45 minutes nap after work. Just hoping it gets better soon.

Some of my friends have sworn by plain crackers or ginger biscuits kept next to the bed and the moment they open there eyes eating a couple and just doing it through the day the moment they start to get hungry untill they can get a meal down them

Yes I find I wake up starving at 4:30 and should probably eat ginger biscuits them. Only problem is I had braces as an adult so have to still wear retainers pretty much every night so I either get them out quick before I throw up and then leave them out the rest of the night or have to faff about eating then brushing my teeth and putting retainers back in which usually taste horrible and have been setting off my nausea. It cost so much fixing my teeth that I really don't want to risk letting them get messed up again though so I'll fight through it!

Thankyou everyone! I’m defiantly struggling eating larger meals, I’m hungry but don’t seem to have an appetite for anything I’d usually eat, especially meats.

I have got crackers, ginger biscuits and bread sticks they seem to be ok for snacking on.

Thanks everyone will try and take the advice on board about never letting myself get hungry

I gave up on the retainer in tri 1... too hard and with swollen pregnancy gums it made my gums bleed!!! I figured 4 months of not wearing it won’t screw my teeth up beyond repair. When I put it back in my teeth moved back to where they’re meant to be pretty easily. Though it still made my gums bleed so now I wear it every third night haha.

OP - nothing but time cures morning sickness I’m sorry!! I found popcorn and toast helped when it was mild but when it got bad there was no helping me. I took maxolon which was rubbish and was then put on zofran which did work but the side effects weren’t worth it. My sickness started to lessen around 15 weeks and was gone for the most part by 17 weeks.
