Tillymonster; I know how you feel about the kefir. I really have to force myself to drink it because if I don't I will feel worse. But I do hate having to drink it every day.

I'm their with you guys on the night nausea! Sleeping has been really rough due to it. Also teeth brushing! I'm already 13 wks 5 days and it still continues.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, I believe. Revisiting my old friend Chai with coconut milk this morning. The smell was intoxicating, and I haven't even been able to think about Chai since December.

I didn't have to dry heave for 10 minutes this morning before I could eat. In fact, I didn't have to dry heave at all! That has been my morning routine for about 7 weeks now. I'm really hoping this is the beginning of the end of morning sickness. Fingers crossed!

[nettlesoup]

That sounds promising, Madelyn!

Today I'm feeling pretty rough, certainly worse than usual, and I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow. I think it was due to having a late night and not getting as much sleep as usual.

Yesterday I called my OB to talk about a diff prenatal but all he wanted to do was give me Zofran. I'm not real keen on taking EXTRA medication so unless things get severely worse, I'm not going to take it. Plus, that stuff is SO expensive! I am glad you're feeling better lately & really hope you don't ever get to "the puking point." The more time that goes on the more I understand what works for relief and what doesn't. I'm spacing out my vitamins, eating SMALL meals (which is hard when you're starving, but not worth it when you get pukey after eating!). I'll be 9 weeks on Saturday so holding out hope that I'll be one of those girls that feels better earlier. Ha! I hope your headaches go away soon! Have you been trying anything homeopathic? I've only had one or two really bad headaches, but I think they were triggered by Preggie Pops (sometimes sugar does that to me). 

Ahhh Sarah - so sorry you're feeling so crappy, hope it's settling down a bit for you. Glad that you are figuring out what works to try to keep it in check.I hear ya on the not wanting to take more meds. How are you feeling now at 9 weeks:D?

My headaches haven't been as bad. I've had them here and there but not lasting very long, so I can deal with that. Nothing homeopathic (yet) but my midwives recommended I take 1000mg of calcium d-glucarate each night before bed. It's supposed to help, so I've been doing that for about a week now. The nausea is definitely letting up, mostly just a little in the morning. But, I am still extremely picky about what I eat and whenever DH suggests something to eat that doesn't sound good to me (at that moment), I get all queasy just from the thought of it, blah. There is no rhyme or reason to what I can eat one moment to the next either, so grocery shopping has been quite difficult! My appetite in general has picked up so I guess that's a good sign:)   

Hope everyone else is coping with their yuckies and feeling better.

Suzie- I can totally relate to the loss of appetite. Nothing sounds good until I'm actually eating it. It is making DH crazy and food shopping frustrating.

My nausea got better this week. The magic combination seems to be getting to sleep by 9, eating lots of protein (even when that means choking it down), and having a glass of milk as soon as I get up. Today I actually feel normal. 

[nettlesoup]

Yeah, the lack of appetite is awful, and having to think of things for dinner is almost as bad!
 

[SuzieSmiles]

toothfairy2be and nettlesoup - glad I'm not the only one still having these issues with food aversions, it's so frustrating! And, wow toothfairy - I am jealous that you can get to sleep my 9pm. I am such a night owl, getting me to bed before 11pm is rare, think I need to work on this! nettle - I think I'm driving DH nuts about dinner decisions as well! Sure hope that the 2nd trimester will be better for all of of us.

Forget what I said about the nausea getting better. Had the worst day so far!
Just entered week 9.
Helpers: ginger ale, cottage cheese, fruit, water, altoids.
First time blaming my fiancé for putting me in this position. Today was just not funny anymore.

[nettlesoup]

It seems to be that just when you think you're starting to feel better, it all goes to hell! I'm 13 weeks today and still waiting to feel better! It seems like it'll never happen.
 

[dakipode]

I get the impression more protein helps me too, toothfairy.

I'm having a hard time getting enough liquid in me. Plain water, tea, juice, soymilk etc, ends up feeling like it's just sloshing around in my stomach. I'm trying to stay on top of my fluid intake, also because it helps with bowel movements, but I'm quickly running out of ideas. I'm trying to eat soups, yogurts, etc., basically more moist foods.

[toothfairy2be]

Maybe eating some crackers or something with the liquids to absorb some? I hate the night time empty sloshing stomach feeling. Seems to happen even if I've eaten recently.

[MadelynMc]

Spoke too soon. Woke up this morning and heated some raw milk to make hot chocolate. BIG mistake. I know I cannot do warm dairy, I'm not sure why I keep trying. This seems to be something I have developed only since switching to coconut milk in my coffee almost a year and a half ago. What does this mean? It just makes me so nauseous.

Yeah week 8 (just ended) was freaking rough. Gawd! I almost barfed a few times. It was dry heaving too. The most terrible experience when you are exhausted after finally getting a crazy 3yo to sleep at midnight. Ugh! Then I just toss and turn all night? Not cool! I started growling at DH that this is all his fault.

Another vent: My 3yo is a water hoarder. No joke. I can never have any in her reach. So I'm drinking WAY less water then I should. She's even dunking her toys in it when I'm not looking and boy does that make for a grumpy mama.

[serena76]

Omg god I thought I was turning the corner and getting better then this morning I puked twice at work, feel awful today. Doesn't help that I'm not sleeping well either. I want the glowing healthy bit to start! Lol

[haurelia]

Starting week 10--still exhausted, moody and queasy in the evenings. And now, battling a cold with killer cough. Blerg. DH being a PITA and our house is a shambles. Don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but staying in bed all day really sounds appealing. My poor DS is watching a lot of Netflix and listening to storynory.com. Not being the best mom right now.

[nettlesoup]

I really don't know how you people manage to go to work while feeling like this!

[MadelynMc]

Feeling like this makes it really hard to drag a** out of bed in the morning and look presentable. And be functional. I mean, for goodness sake I want to take a nap after my shower, 30 minutes after I get out of bed. I'm being set up to fail.
