are you feeling morning sickness yet? - Page 2

[umbrella]

It's too early for to have it yet anyway, but I most certainly hope I do NOT experience it like I did last time.

I had hyperemesis when I was pregnant with dd. I was totally not expecting that in the slightest, and didn't even know that's what was going on until after she was born anyway. Most people didn't understand "really bad morning sickness that lasted all day and didn't end at the first trimester," so I'm kinda glad there's a fancy word for it I didn't like people acting like I was being dramatic when they'd ask when we were going to have another, and I'd be honest and tell them we'd have to wait until it was a better time for us to handle me being that sick again. I would have loved to have gotten pregnant 8 months ago, and be in my 3rd trimester as I finish my finally week of school (tomorrow is my very last day!!!!), but we just couldn't risk me getting that sick, because I couldn't have gone to school like that.

Nothing, yet, just insane hunger!!

Me, I've definitely been feeling the sickness! Mostly in the morning, but it lasts usually until 3-4ish, which is nice . Part of me is happy to have it, ie, sign of a healthy baby, but part of me hates feeling so crummy so often especially with my son wanting so much attention recently.

I kept a journal w/DD's pregnancy and I felt nauseous off and on from about week 6 until almost week 12. I also (gasp) became completely uninterested in sweets after about the 7th week!

I have felt oogy sometimes with this pg, but it doesn't seem as bad (so far, anyway). I was also SUPER sleepy w/DD -- napped almost every day for a few weeks -- and haven't been as sleepy this time around (again, so far).

I'm trying to drink a lot of water to keep up the milk supply, and eat healthy (which is difficult in the winter unless you are a huge squash fan, lol). I just ate quite a few (aka too many) Hershey's Kisses...oops.

should I just puke?

Will I feel better? The nausea is getting overwhelming, I can barely function at times. I'm taking heart in the fact that it means I have a healthy embryo growing in me, but I would like a little relief if puking will provide it. What are your experiences?

[LittleYellow]

Glamourfaust - I went that route today and it helped me feel better for a while and I was able to eat some lunch!!!!!

I've been feeling totally awful with morning sickness, called out from work again today. On top of the morning sickness I've had real trouble sleeping waking up in the early dawn hours, falling asleep for a few minutes and then waking up abruptly.

I'm flying home for Christmas tomorrow and am nervous about how I'll feel on the flight. Any tips on flying with morning sickness?

Well, now I officially "feel" pregnant since I am deep into morning sickness. I was beginning to worry, since I had MS the ENTIRE pregnancy. So, upchucking my breakfast is somehow a good thing!

MS and Cramping

Does anyone know if it is ok to sometimes have cramping along with the MS? I've had some cramping and I'm approximately 9 weeks pregnant. The cramps feel similar and as strong as mentrual cramps. Should I be concerned?

[AugustLia23]

I think it's perfectly normal to feel cramps as long as the aren't consistent. I feel crampy down low every now and again, but not regularly, not even every day.

[ErinluvsKen]

Thanks AugustLia! My cramps just started about a week ago. They do come and go without warning. I"m glad to hear that someone else has had these feelings before.

Oh boy! Am I ever feeling sick! I get about a two hour break from noon to 2pm daily, but otherwise I'm sick all day/night and I'm only 6.5 weeks along!

I can only eat very specific food and all other food makes me wanna hurl.... speaking of which I've vomited twice already. Dh had to make an emergency stop on the side of the road the other day so I could vomit out the car door.

My stomach cannot get empty or else I'm in big trouble - which is tricky seeing that I can't bear the thought of most foods. All it seems I can stomach are carbohydrates (breads, rice) and fatty foods... takeout is glorious. That's very odd, because when I'm not pg, that food grosses me out!

DS told his daddy yesterday that the baby in my belly should go to jail for making me so sick! Too cute!

Well, it's all for a good cause so I don't really mind.

Take good care,

Jennifer, I always felt better after puking. But, that's how I am when I'm sick too. If I feel nauseous, I don't fight it, I get it out! I always get better faster that way from things like tummy bugs. Once, dh and I were sick together (I think it was from bad food...yuck!) and I puked and he didn't. He felt terrible for almost 3 days and I was better in 24 hrs. Course....aren't men babies when they are sick

With my first pregnancy I was incredibly nauseous and I found that if I just drank a big glass of warm water when I felt the nausea coming on, I could puke and get it over with. Then, I'd feel better for hours. Also, it kept me from dry heaving which just killed my insides and made me crampy.

So....I'd say....if you're feeling pukey...see if puking will help...if not...avoid it! I think everyone is different!!

[mtnsunshinemama]

Yes, I have had mild to medium nausea for a couple of weeks but just enough to remind me there is a little sprout growing inside me! I hope it stays like this, usually quelled with carbs that I don't normally eat which I'm sure will go straight to my hips!

With my first pregnancy, I was soooo sick! Vomiting from wk 8 all the way until the 3rd tri, then the nausea just hung out until I gave birth. This time around I've been dreading wk 8, b/c I'm afraid that's when it will start up again. Well, just yesterday, I've started to feel a little quesy. I think it's starting already. I'm hoping it's not too bad this time around. It's nice to have m/s, just so you know your pregnancy hormones are strong, but last time it was so bad, my DH kept telling me maybe we should just have one baby, b/c he felt so bad for me through my first pregnancy.

hope everyone is hanging in there!

I have been soo nauseated the last couple of days :Puke everything smells funky too. I have dry heaves in the morning as well which are lovely.

btw I was reading something in my pg yoga book something i had never heard of before and it was saying you should eat peaches,apricots and nectarines to help with ms. it's worth a try I guess!

Hmmm, I wonder if it is the extra beta carotene that might help. I say that, b/c I notice the fruit you posted are all orange based. I guess it is worth a try!

"I have now taken 10 home pg tests since Friday! I'm afraid I have an addiction to peeing on sticks."

That is so funny, I think I may have the same problem. Maybe we should have a support group for stick-pee-ers. With this new pregnancy, I started testing too soon and got a very faint positive, almost an evaporation line. I took a few more and they kept getting more and more positive. My husband, still in shock, wanted me to take another one. I finally had to stop and say "How many sticks do I need to pee on before you realize we're pregnant! Hey, this is number 5, not like we are new at this or something!
