getting through morning sickness

Ok I thought that I was lucky cause hubby
has been getting all of the morning
sickness, but as of Mon mine kicked in
full force. I can barely function or eat.
Every smell makes me nausious. I work 8
hrs a day and then I have school 3 hrs a
day. I am soo tired and I dont know if I
can do this. Work is sooo hard to get
through the day and then I have to go home
and eat and then its off to class.
Im sure a lot of women out there had lots
to do while they were pregnant. So how did
you do it. How did you manage keeping
active when all you feel like doing is
sleeping?

For my first trimester, it was hard to
keep ANYTHING down. Basically I ate dry
toast and saltine crackers. You should try
keeping a supply of saltines right by your
bed. When you wake up in the morning,
before you get out of the bed, eat a
couple crackers. It helped me get through
the day without vomitting.

well I dont actually vomit, only at night.
But at work I just feel horrible. I am
nausous the entire time which makes me not
want to eat or smell or drink anything.

Well smells definitely make you sick!
There's no getting around that.
Nose plug? haha
For me, just feeling the slightest bit
hungry made me sick. Then after I ate, I
would vomit anyway.
Mine started out to be only in the
morning... then progressed to morning and
night. Then to ALL day....

I would eat a piece of dry toast before
even getting out of bed in the morning.
Then I would something bland every couple
of hours; crackers, toast. I also kept a
supply of hard candy and chewing gum
around. It seems like as long as I
something in my mouth, I would feel a
little bit better and it would keep me
from vomiting.

For me, the SECOND I let my stomach get
empty, I was nausious!!
My dogs breath made me sick too! LOL! It
was def something I was ready to end!!
Cross your fingers that this only alsts 12
weeks. For some women it can last the
ENTIRE pregnancy!!

I really didn't/don't have morning
sickness (26wks), but the smell of certain
things make me sick/hungry.
For instance, popcorn, my favorite snack,
is now making my sick when someone cooks
it, along with eggs. If someone is cooking
eggs, I have to be out of the room and
spraying febreeze!
on the opposite, I made a deer meat roast
(smells like ground beef btw) and when I
put it in the crock pot, I almost licked
my fingers it smelled so good raw! Sry to
gross you out if I did  I
know Veggies can't stand the talk of
blood...

That was me! Any kind of tummy rumble and
the vomit would immediately come! It was
awful. This is probably why I gained 60
pounds with my pregnancy.... Fun!!!

I am willing to try anything. What does
the vitamin and unison do? Of course help
you sleep but what about the vitamin B? I
am just curious.

you know what i am not sure!!! I just know
it works for me!! The unisom does make you
kinda sleepy for the first week or so but
now i take it and dont even notice. plus
i'd rather be tierd than super sick!!
I would definitly give it a try. I was
sick ALL DAY EVERYDAY before. and now i
pop my two pills at night before bed.. and
 no sickness the
next day. its worth a shot

Unisom is a sleep aid. The likely reason
you don't notice it anymore is because you
have built up a tolerance to the 2 pill
dosage.

I use to suck mints or chew minty gum it
helped me. I also found when i was empty
is when it was the worst so try to snack
as often as possible. My SIL was so sick
her entire pregnancy she was only about to
eat ramen noodles and pizza hut
breadsticks, it was awful.

It's so bad when you have to work. Work
seems almost impossible to do when you
feel sick all the time. Hang in there.
It's awful. Like Suzy said, eat a lot of
crackers and toast. I never heard of the
other ideas, sounds interesting. I wish I
knew about that before baby.
