Ok you guys I am now 14 weeks and 1 day,
and I still have this awful morning
sickness...It comes and goes but there's
some days that I have it all day and
night....Is there anything I can do to
make it subside? It's not even a "stomach
sick" feeling, it's a feeling like I want
to gag...Does anyone else get this? Ugh
it's horrible, i'm so incredibly moody and
irritable because of it...I've heard of
seabands, do they work? I suck on mints
all day and munch on saltines, but
anything in my mouth makes me want to gag!
Gosh I can't wait for this to pass
already! I didn't get to bed until 2 last
night because of this....Any other
remedies or prescriptions that you know of
or your drs recommended? Any input would
be greatly(caps) appreciated!

Jennifer,
thanks for the suggestions, I hope it
helps a little...Other than feeling crappy
i'm okay I guess...Really tired all the
time though..Today's my sister's b-day so
we're all going out to dinner tonight so
i'm excited, I can't wait to dress up and
put make up on! Lol haven't done that in
so long! Other than that i've been on
bedrest and am supposed to be on until I
hit 16 weeks...But I told my dr that I was
going out tonight with or without her
permission! Lol I loveee going out to
eat, especially now! And my aunt and
uncle haven't found out yet that i'm
pregnant, so it's kind of like a "coming
out party" too in a sense! Lol that
sounds weird, but you get the idea! How
have you been? And the kids? I don't
know if you tried calling within the last
week but my phone was shut off, but it's
back on now just in case youwanna get in
touch with me....How are the kids doing?
And mike?

Hey there!
I had bad bad morning sickness like that,
anything would make me gag... Fresh
air... Certain smells.. It was bad..
The other crappy thing is i'm 16 weeks and
I still get it most of the time :s (thats
why i'm not at school right now lol!) what
I tried doing.. Was drinking cold
water... Orange juice was good too.. But
I couldnt do the cracker thing like people
suggested... I still gag sometimes but
its good, when u start to feel sick..
Thet u dont lay on ur back but lay on ur
sick and kinda just take a few deep
breaths... Wait a bit to stand up and
stand up slowly... It should help u a
little bit... I'm actually still trying
to find better ways for myself haha

Shauna,
thanks for the advice girl! In the
morning when I wake up I noticed that if
i(and this is stupid lol but it works!)
get out of bed slowly and keep my back
hunched(like bent over) and slowly bring
myself up I dont get dizzy, and
nauseous....If I wake up and jump right
out of bed my equilibrium gets outta wack
and I end up back in bed! Lol also slow
deep breaths and focusing on something
helps pass the gag feeling....I'll let you
know if I come across anything else that
works!

help...I just ate saltines for five weeks!

Hey chrystal,
they put me on bedrest because some of my
levels were low and they didn't think I
was consuming enough cals for the amount
of "activity" if you will, that I was
putting my body through...My potassium and
iron were low and so were my
electrolytes...So she said bedrest until
16 weeks, only 2 weeks away but still it
feels like forever...Im stuck in bed
eating and eating and now I have to take
these gross supplements, iron pill and a k
pill...Ugh they're horrible, but oh well
what are ya gonna do!
