Sickness and appetite loss

[amethyst_echidna]

Ugh, I feel sick most of the time at the moment, and certain smells or even thinking about certain foods makes me feel like I'll hurl. All I can manage to stomach is Weetabix, soup with bread, and crackers with Philidelphia... does anyone else have it this extreme?!

luckily I don't but I know it's very common.

i find that the more nasueas I get the less I feel like eating but if I do eat i don't feel sick anymore.

You are doing the right thing by eating plain foods that you can keep in. I found that having something to eat at least every couple of hours kept the worst of my sickness at bay.

Now as soon as I start to feel sick I eat something even if I don't fancy it and it always makes me feel better

I find that the sickness abates a little once I've eaten, so thanks - I'll try eating little and often (every couple of hours). Thanks!

yes I'm in the same boat! It's come to the point where I'm sick of eating and nothing much appeals!
Some days like today I almost have to eat every hour or less , and even then the sickie feeling doesn't quite go away. Can't wait for the 1st tri to roll on

Yep!! But then I feel just as bad when I eat!? ha
Sometimes I really crave a certain things and have to go get it so I can eat haha
I have been taking vitamins with my folic acid so Im not too worried right now about not getting enough of them!

Today I started eating regularly rather than having meals, and I've noticed a lot of improvement. I've also found it's worse when I'm tired, so I'm sleeping when I feel tired rather than set hours at night. Generally I'm still sleeping most of the night but I do tend to have a random few hours (like now) in the middle of the night where I can't sleep! LOL I also find I have really REALLY big cravings. The other week I was totally fixated on beans on toast - I HAD to have them and I couldn't think of anything else. Tonight, O/H mentions Pizza Hut and now I can't think of anything else at all!! Mmmmmmmmmm... Pizza Hut... *drools* It's so frustrating! LOL

Hello,
I definiately think little and often is best, and found eating a little before I went to helped a bit.

for my first weeks 8 weeks I think I lived on Bananas, pears and cereal in the morning and then just ate whatever I fancied when I felt like it, which was it seem every hours or so.

now at 20 weeks and still unfortunately getting m/s although it has got much better, usually now just sick once and then eat toast and feel much better.

Hope you all feel better soon. Lindsey

I have been so orried as I have cannot stomach anything food wise! I have been so ill cant get off the sofa etc and its been horrible, but my OH just reminded me that I always get like this when I take iron tabs and iron is in my multi-vits with the folic acid! So I need to get some folic acid on its own now and ditch them multi-vits! I dont even know why they put iron in them tbh!

I constantly feel as if I am just recovering from a stomach bug! It is horrible!! I am not actually being sick but I just FEEL as sick as a dog! Tried eating plain foods which help a tiny bit. My best remedy so far is SUCKING on a lemon...seems to take sick feeling away because of sharpness!!

Roll on week 12

Love and nausea,

Julia xxxxxx
