Having a really hard time with MS and carrying on as per usual....
Hey Everyone, I guess I'm looking for others to commiserate with. My morning sickness has actually been getting worse and instead of vomiting every few days I'm vomiting daily now. What is most frustrating is that I'm finding it *really really hard* to get to work on time in the mornings as that is when the vomiting strikes. Anyone else dealing with this?
I've tried all the regular tips: never letting your stomach be empty, small meals, eating certain foods and am even on the double dosage of diclectin so I am afraid there is little else I can do to fix this situation. And I'm feeling so guilty for being late for work all the time -- my boss hasn't said anything about it but I'm thinking I should talk to her and make it clear that it's the MS and not reluctance on my part to come in!!!

Thanks Justice! I haven't ever heard of that medication before. I'm in Canada so perhaps that's why? I guess I was overly-optimistically hoping that this pregnancy would be easier than my last, but oh well! Ultimately all I care about is my babyboo being healthy once he or she arrives but it can get hard some days to deal with the constant sickness. Thanks for the support! :)
Im sorry your not feeling well! With my daughter I was sick for 5 months straight and had a really hard time with work, My job was very understanding and around 5 -5 1/2 months I started to feel alot better.... Have you tried anything from the doc like phenagrin? It has helped me tremendously (sp?) this pregnancy, I am finally starting to feel better. I know it ***** and its ok to complain! Hang in there!
OH, and did anyone else have the experience where it was easier for them to keep down junk food rather than real food in the AMs. It's disgusting, but the only things I can keep down are chocolate bars with nuts and coca-cola. I normally eat VERY healthily so this is a new phenomenon for me!
Thanks so much for the reply! You're so right, I do need to talk to my boss. Everyone here knows I'm pregnant and my team members have even witnessed me being sick and running out of meetings, but because I don't always have daily contact with my supervisor I worry that she may be out of the loop. I just sent her and my project manager an email updating them and letting them know I'm coping as best as I can and will make up for lost time. I do feel better after doing so. :)

I told my boss at 7 weeks that i was pregnant (didnt tell co workers until much much later) but I told my boss becasue I wanted the ability to be able to have accomodation if needed... I had a previous miscarriage and had no idea how it would go this time... During my first pregnancy, I worked 12 hour shifts and overnights.. and it really stressed out my body, I would vomit every couple hours from like 2 am until 6am to the point where my stomach was in so much pain.. I felt like I couldnt talk to anyone about it because no one knew i was pregnant and i just started working... This time I wanted to be able to have open communication if things got rough so I wouldnt feel so stressed out and alone..
It made a world of difference... If you are going to keep being late because of vomitting (since you probably cant prevent it), its best that your boss knows where you are coming from.. Keep in mind - hopefully- the vomitting will come to an end..
