So I wake up this morning...bleh...

[PinkPixie]

... with total overwhelming nausea. I have been having a few glitches of nausea for a few days now, after eating I felt a little off, or when I was tired. But this morning... erh. I didn't throw up but I gag alot.

Plus, all my clothes are now tight at my waist. I didn't admit it cause I thought that it was only an impression I had, but now my mom and dh said I look pregnant. I went and dished out my old maternity jeans from my closet and ahhh... they feel much better.
Thing is, I am only 5 weeks. In fact, 5 weeks today. I usually don't start being nauseated before week 6 (week 7 and 8 being the worst).
I had a long day and dd didn't go to bed until 10 pm yesterday so I was super tired and my nausea has always been worse when I'm tired. I'm just surprised that everything seems so early this time. I know my conception date is right cause we do NFP.

So how is everyone else doing. Anybody else who started feeling sick early? Anybody else in mat clothes?
I wanted to keep my preg secret until the thrid month,... I think that's gonna be hard to do.

Healthy babies to all of you,
Helene

Nausea started super early for me - probably within a few days of conception. It already went away though at around almost 5 weeks I think. I'm hoping it doesn't return but I figure it will. I think sometimes it just comes in spurts. For me I noticed a coorelation between hunger and nausea so I really tried to stay on top of eating periodically. I know I had this with my other pregnancies but I can't remember the timeline. Just that I only actually vomitted from my first at 14 weeks (I think) twice. I vomitted earlier than that a couple times with one of the pregnancies I lost too, but I think that's it. Just an overall icky feeling but no pukie.

Sorry to hear about the

It helps me to eat small amounts of food all day instead of a big meal a few times a day. I have a friend who swore by protien. she would eat little bits of yogurt, cottage cheese, lunch meat or peanut butter to get her through. And she had severe MS for almost 4 mos.

Hope it doesn't last so long for you!!

I was sharing in another thread that I've never experienced nausea much before, and this is #4! My body FEELS farther along than five/six weeks, too.

Helene, my nausea started at 5 weeks, too.....maybe even a little before that. Hugs to you! I completely understand how you feel. I'm at 7 weeks now, and as I was saying in the other nausea thread, I sometimes get really depressed thinking about dealing with this for another 5-7 weeks.

Hang in there! Maybe early nausea means the morning sickness will end early, too? One can only hope!

[PinkPixie]

Ahh, thanks mama's. The hugs and suggestions help, plus just knowing that I'm not alone.
This afternoon is better, I ate a bit of luch and drank some clear Gatorade (gatorade always helps me). Or, maybe this pregnancy will actually be "morning sickness" instead of "all day sickness" .

Erica, don't get depressed. It's so hard but we have to think of the final outcome. I also think we have to try not to think about the nausea and try to keep going on like usual. I keep telling myself: " this phase will eventually end..."

Norasmom, I think your friend is right. Yogourt has always helped with all my pregnancies. I'm going to make a batch when I get offline.

to titus2fam and love_homebirthing too.

Thanks, PinkPixie. I know it sounds totally absurd, but just that little cyberhug icon from you made me feel better. It's funny, because I don't know who you are, I have never met you in real life, and yet you -- a total stranger -- managed to cheer me up. In fact, I'm getting a little teary eyed just thinking about it.

Gawd, these hormones are messing with my system!!!!!

:LOL

Now I'm getting teary eyed :LOL

Hope today is a good (less nauseating) day for all of you. I'm doing much better today because I got to sleep. Dd only woke up once last night to nurse and let me sleep in till 7:20am.

I hope you are feeling a little better today. I like to think of nausea as nature way of showing me my hormone levels are raging strong and I have a healthy sticky babe in there. If it makes you feel any better, I was nauseus during both of my boys and never had any with my m/c's. Everyone always told me to drink 7 up or sprite and they were too acidy feeling for me. I loved those cheese and peanut butter crackers. They gave me the cracker for right away and a little extra protein too

[wencit]

Thanks, ladies! I'm definitely feeling less nauseous today. I'm a little afraid to post this, for fear that I might jinx myself and wake up puking everywhere tomorrow! I know nausea is supposed to be a sign of a healthy pregnancy, but it's so hard when you feel like you're going to toss your cookies at any moment, all day long.

Hope you all feel better soon!

It's all about the protein.
When I feel queasy, I've been downing nuts. Helps instantly.

I totally jinxed myself by writing that my nausea had passed already. Ugh. It's not too bad though but doesn't it suck when it's there? It's like a no win situation. When I have it I wish I didn't, and when I don't I'm nervous that something could be wrong!

[kyle98sean02]

ROFL I am the same way. Uh oh, that doesnt churn my stomach, yet it should. Or darn my boobs dont hurt like they did yesterday LOL.

[PinkPixie]

:LOL

About the jinx thing: I remember with my second preg saying "Wow, I feel nothing at all" just to be hit a few days later with hypermensis for the following 20 weeks! I'm still traumatized by that experience and am always afraid of being sick like that again. I am : for a an easy "not too sick" pregnancy.
