Crazy nausea

[LauraB78]

Soo. between weeks 8 - 12 I had m/s ALL the time. Everyone kept saying.. "After the first trimester will be better.." Then, like magic, I started feeling better.. Yay.. BUT IT ONLY LASTED 5 DAYS.. I am crazy nauseaous again and I just want to sleep.. Anyone found any great tips to ward off the nausea?

I know I am depressed and that can aid in the fatigue, but I am pretty sure the nausea is pure pregnancy "bonus." I am sooo sick of getting sick. Uggh,.

I'm with you gals... I had HG from weeks 5-18 and I still suffer from nausea on occasion... STILL. Ahh, the things they don't tell you about pregnancy! I have to take 25 mg of Anzemet (a prescription) just to get through the morning, or else I'll be barfing everywhere & just not able to function. I have found that small meals help a lot, and staying very hydrated. I literally have to force myself to drink at least 2 full Nalgene bottles (64 oz. total) a day just to keep from being dehydrated, because dehydration can make nausea much worse. "Preggie Pops" help, you can find them online or at Motherhood Maternity. They're tasty and help curb the queasies. I'm sorry you feel so awful and I understand...

That's funny you should say that. My co-worker literally said the same thing to me 5 minutes ago.. Only major problem is I loathe lemons and limes, I think that would bring on nausea for me!! =)   Thanks for the tip though!

I dont know if anyone has ever tried this but sucking on a lime helped me alot. I know salt is not the best, but sometimes i would add some salt to the lime. I loved it and it made me feel better. I even asked my midwife and she said lime isnt bad for you,she said if it makes you feel better go ahead try it. Good luck, hope this passes.

Natural Ginger Soda or tea, its delicious and it helps A LOT with stomach issues and nausea.

My OBGYN gave me these suckers (they also have hard candies), their called "B-natal suckers".  He said you can get them over the counter also.  I have only tried them once, but sometimes when you are already nausea it's hard to even try to eat a sucker!  But one of  my friends said she lived by those during her first trimester.  My OBGYN also said that taking vitamin B6 will help.

I'm almost 19 weeks and still getting sick at least every other day!  Not to discourage you, b/c I still have faith that it will end any day now!  Everyone is different and I know that MOST people feel better after the 1st Trimester.....but unfortunately not all of us!  The only thing that I found that works a little is eating all the time.....bread, crackers, pasta.....I know, all those carbs!  I asked my midwife about it and she pretty much said that as long as I can keep something down, it's OK......I've only gained 6 lb/s so far, so it's not affecting my weight that much.  They even wrote me a Rx for Zofran......didn't help at all......Try the eating!  Good luck and I hope it ends soon for you!
