Hello to all, I am about 9 weeks pregnant
and having a really rough time with my
'morning' sickness. A few weeks ago when
I took the gravol I was sure that it was
working but now this week it doesn't I
seem to be so sick all the time. I
remember with my daughter, now 11 , that I
was sick for the whole 9 months and that
was so rough on me. I have always been
told that no two pregnancies are alike so
I truily did not expect to be sick with
this one either. Everyone keeps telling
me that it wil settle down after the first
12 weeks but I am dying slowly in the mean
time.
Is there anything that can help aleviate
it as I am at my wits end. I want to eat,
but everything I eat just seems to come
back up. I have been reduced to ginger
ale, nuts and biscuits, some fruit and
yougurt, that's it!!!! Yesterday was
really bad, and it left my throat & my
stomach feeling really sore and raw. I
just sleep becuz I feel so weak and life
less and I don't go anywhere becuz I fear
that I am going to just spill my jollies
all over the place, even to drive in the
car is a chore :(
i don't know what else to do at this
point. I am living like a hermit and my
stomach is just always so upset. I really
need some help here. I am not enjoying
this time at all.
My doctor tells me that I shud be happy,
'morning' sickness usually means that the
placenta is developing properly and
therefore securing an mormal pregnancy,
and although that does make me feel gud to
a point, becuz I had two miscarriages last
year, the point is that I don't like
feeling so sick all the time.
Help!!!!

I know how you feel. I am 11 weeks and I
have been having all this morning
sickness, nausea and having a hard time
keeping things down. Even though I get
really hungry.
After taking my maternal vitamins I seem
to get more nausea for some reason, so I
started taking them at night.
Fruit, lots of fruit has really helped me,
and chicken or beef soup, although I have
a hard time eating the chicken and the
beef, I usually just eat the veggies.
Keep resting if you feel tired and weak.
Your body is asking for it since it's
working so hard. Hopefully you don't have
to put up with this through the whole
pregnancy.
I have also heard of some type of bracelet
or something that is supposed to help with
nausea and I have also read something
about listening to some tapes while you
sleep to help you out with this but I
don't know much about it. Maybe someone
else here does.
Good luck!

Sorry to hear your having such a bad time,
I had morning sickness from 6 weeks to
about 13 weeks, only threw up a few times,
but felt sick all day everyday, felt so
bad, that I was wishing that I could just
throw up and be done with it, but i've
heard that thats just as bad!
I was told to eat ginger biscuits or
anything with ginger in it, I ate the
biscuits and it did help to callm my
stomach, but obviously the affect won't
last all day :?
Also heard flat coca cola helps, and I
definatly felt worse on an empty stomach,
so I think even if u manage fruit etc,
just to keep u going, it should be ok.
The only thing that I found that really
really helped was lemon!, strange I know,
haven't read or heard anyone mention lemon
when talking bout morning sickness, but it
helped me alot, I used to boil some hot
water, squeeze half a lemon into the cup
(or however much u like), add a spoonful
(or 2) of sugar and add the water. Even
eating stuff with lemon like salad or
fresh white fish etc helped me eat.
U can try it, dunno if it will work for u,
but it really helped me.
Anyway hope you feel better soon, keeping
fingers crossed that this pregnancy is
better then your last!!
Xxxxxxxxx

When I was a little girl I remember being
on a boat and I was sea sick. My mother
told me to suck on a piece of lemon and it
helped.
I have heard of warm water with drops of
lemon in it and no sugar added, although,
I heard that this was good for pregnant
women who were having constipation.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I
hope everything turns out fine for you and
the baby. I'm lucky I didn't get much
morning sickness but when I did start to
get that feeling, I would eat before it
got too bad. Saltines and rice cakes
were the main things that helped me. If
you let yourself get too hungry, the
morning sickness will probably get worse.
Best wishes to you.

I'd just like to thank all of you for your
advice, and I realise that it does get
worse once I don't eat.I think the only
thing that I probably haven't tried to be
honest is the lemon, so I might try that.
My mum bought me some peppermint tea the
othe day and I find that helps, but only
for a while {sigh}. Well, one can only
hope that it will ease after the first 12
weeks. I just hope that I don't have to
go thru another pregnancy like with my
first daughter, that was a killer, yet she
was such a big baby {8lbs; 15ozs} that
always surprises me :).
Anyway, i'll let you guys know how it's
going after my doctor visit next week
wednesday. I have also heard that
'morning' sickness is always worse when
you are carrying twins, and the way I look
righgt now, anything is possible, and my
doctor was concerned about another sac he
saw, so I don't know. But i'll keep you
gys posted for sure, and thanks once again
for everything.

Nothing helped me....At all!! I lost
about 5 pounds before I started to put on
the weight. The only thing that helped
my was just laying down.

you didn't say how far along you are. But
at any rate you shud be careful about
lifting stuff that is too heavy, and any
kind of chairs, unless they are those
little plastic chairs that the babies sit
on, I don't really think that you shud be
lifting stuff like that.
You shud probably as your doctor, but you
still need to be carefully.
