Anyone have morning sickness yet?

[Adamsmama]

I don't yet...just wondering when it is going to hit. I think with my first pg it was around 6 weeks and with my 2nd it was around 8 weeks. When do you expect it?

[kdtmom2be]

None here yet and hoping that I am one of the lucky women that all other women hate who doesn't get morning sickness.... but we'll see! :loveeyes:

[MonkeyPrincess]

I do! :irked:

Blech.

[jandj+1]

I never had it with my daughter. However, this time around I have felt a little queasy off and on since yesterday. Blech.

[momto l&a]

My ms always fits at 8 weeks. I am 5 right now.

in 2 weeks we will know if we are moving so that means I will be moving with all day sickness :Puke

[crazyknitter]

I sort of feel queazy. Not sure if it is real or in my head, yk? But either way it's all good, I am makin a baby!! Woo Hoo!

[emiLy]

I have been feeling a little bit of heartburn, which I NEVER get except when I was pregnant with my daughter. But it was way later, like 8-9 months. I had all-day nausea with her so I'm expecting that.

[Slingin'Momto4]

No, I haven't had much m/s but yest I got HORRIBLE heartburn and I was so naseous!!!

[Amylcd]

Not yet, and I'm hoping it stays this way!

[MommyTeesa]

I'd love to skip it this time. lol Started 5/6 weeks with my daughter, I'm only 4 weeks now.

[clavicula]

not yet...but i will i am sure! :gloomy:

[jessicaSAR]

I am just barely 6 weeks (tomorrow) and it has already started. It just started out of the blue three days ago. No puking yet, but food aversions and lots of queasiness. The only thing that helps is eating non stop and home-made ginger ale. I am geared up for about 8 more weeks of this. Yuk!!

[Lizzo]

I am feeling it just now. I woke up at 5am and was queezy and now I have a headache and gas...and am a bit iffy.

[purplepeace]

Yep! It has struck! :( I am 5 1/2 weeks. I've been queasy for a couple days and had my first barf-fest this morning. Yuck! What I am willing to go through for this baby! ;)

[kdtmom2be]

NOW I'm starting to feel queasy.... whoever said "Eat up!" when we were complaining about being SO hungry all the time... well, you were right. Ugh, I have NO interest in food now. I ate lunch because I thought it would make me feel better! No barfing yet, just drooling on myself and feeling like I'm going to puke. :thumb

[mamasara]

So far, so good, no sickness yet - but I'm only 5 wks along ;)
I had it with my son, but can't remember when it kicked in? I'm hoping I'm one of the lucky ones this time. Tee hee.

[kitty waltz]

Just mild nausea and food aversions so far. my first pg I had horrible all day sickness in the early weeks, and in my 2nd pg nothing. hopefully Ill avoid it this time.. we'll see... {crossing fingers!!}

[crazyknitter]

So wierd, today where I work the MW asked if I felt queasy. Could she tell? Anyway, she gave me a b6 & b12 shot, it made me feel better. Wierd.

[Goldiemom]

Not yet, but mine has never kicked in before 8ish weeks. I hope that God is smiling on me this time around and I don't spend 3 solid months with the toilet being my best friend. :Puke

[darsmama]

I had like one day of queasiness.
I just haven't really been hungry lately. I'll eat once a day, and be done with it. I try and eat cheese sticks or an apple at another time of day, but really, not hungry.
Until tonight's dinner...But thats another thread :lol

[EricaE]

Nope, I don't feel sick yet.

With my son, it started at 6 weeks, and I never really did have m/s with my daughter.

As crazy as this sounds, I actually WANT to have morning sickness - after so many miscarriages, any sign that my baby is growing well will be welcomed.

[trmpetplaya]

A bit of queasiness... but no actual getting sick yet :fingersx:

love and peace. :love

[emiLy]

ROFL about the drooling! That is one of my symptoms too. It's pretty much only when I'm sleeping right now, but with my last pregnancy it got worse and worse and I would drool while I was up! It was SO weird.

[mightymoo]

Yeah, I'm working on some general nausea all a day mostly. I take my prenatal at night, which helps a bit because the prenatal makes me nauseous even when I'm not pregnant. Last pregnancy the morning sickness was pretty bad, so I'm not looking forward to the next 8 weeks. :(

[GuavaLava]

I didn't get morning sickness until I was around 6 weeks with dd. I'm curious to see how it plays out this time.

[stacey0402]

I don't, but I'm only like 4wks along. I didn't have any with dd1, and lots with dd2. I hope this pregnancy is like my first! With my second I never actually "got sick" but I was queasy all the time.

[scheelimama]

I'm feeling all day nausea, started 3 days ago, which was why I decided to do a pregnancy test yesterday, so I know it's not in my head. I don't normally do much puking though, just feel sick and terribly hungry, but nothing sounds good. Food aversions. I think I'm around 5 weeks and it usually peaks for me between 6-9 weeks then starts to subside.

ETA: I've been drinking ginger tea (Yogi brand) and it's helping a little. Just don't steep it too long or it will be too strong for a sensitive pregnant tummy.

[Rico'sAlice]

Well, it is still real early but no nausea, sickness, or food aversions. However, I think my gag-reflex is more sensitive. I have more trouble swallowing pills and brushing my tongue. I can manage, but I really have to focus.

[Dolphin]

Yes, and it's miserable...blek. Started at 5 weeks and it's all day, nonstop nausea. I hope it subsides at 9 weeks or so, but that still gives me another 2.5 weeks of this misery.

[chrissy]

I am feeling a little bit queasy and I am so grateful for it. With both of my healthy pregnancies I was quite sick and with both of my miscarriages I was not. I am hoping for some full on nausea soon. :lol

[scheelimama]

Chrissy, I've never miscarried, but I've been very concerned about the possibility this time since I have had a lot of bleeding. I am right there with you hoping for some full on nausea! :) Everytime I feel nauseous, I'm very grateful.

[MizLiz]

Yup. I feel pretty yucky and have for a good three weeks now (I'm only 6 weeks along!). This is my first time experiencing morning sickness... I used to think that people exagerated it :duck: but now I know better...

[mamasara]

CRAP. It hit this morning. . . nothing like throwing up at work. . . :Puke

[emiLy]

Woah - I had some today, in the afternoon. I didn't throw up (I never do) but it was bad nausea. I'm right about six weeks. I've been SO tired, taking naps but a lot of the time only sleeping lightly (and having crazy pregnancy dreams too). If I do fall asleep deeply it's still only for like five hours and then I'm completely awake and can't go back to sleep. I've had the weirdest schedule the last few days - or lack thereof.

[~~Mama2B~~]

I have it. I won't let myself throw up but I feel sick to my stomach, dizzy and tired for 2-4 hours everyday. It sucks! Bring on the 2nd trimester!!!!!

Kristi

[clavicula]

i am updating myself...morning sickness is here...yuck! :gloomy: :dizzy:
(...but i am hungry anyway...:wink )

[LoveBaby]

i dont' want to post or i'll probably jinx myself! :lol

[kdtmom2be]

Not really morning sickness, just not feeling like eating anything that I brought for lunch, even though I am starving.

Watch out for low blood sugar! I was sitting here half an hour ago, despising carrots and refusing to eat them, and started feeling :dizzy: A couple of Sweet Tarts from my office drawer and all is good. NOW I'll eat my apple and maybe that will hold me over for a bit until carrots DO sound appetizing. What I'd really like is a big fat juicy hamburger... just the patty even! Meeeeeaaaaaaaat!!!

I generally eat a non-meat diet, but I do enjoy poulty and fish every once in a while. I have been craving red meat too, recently, although I've yet to give in. And a couple of days ago I was obsessing about chips and salsa for three days. On the second days Dh took me to a Mexican restaurant and I had chips and salsa and was so happy. Then the next day I'm obsessing about it again! My friend went to lunch with me and I got chips and salsa and even took a box home. I was snacking on them all night. It was the only thing I would eat.

Its so weird because usually I'm tottally indecisive about where and what I eat!

Kristi

[GuavaLava]

update: I think the nausea has started. :sick

[Debstmomy]

Many moms where I work find that Morning Sickness Magic really works for them. You can order online & perhaps at health food stores? Hope you all get relief soon.

[kdtmom2be]

update: I think the nausea has started. :sick

I agree, yesterday afternoon was ROUGH. But I know it was because i didn't eat enough. Once I had a bowl full of spaghetti for dinner (and a big farmers sausage) I felt grrrrrrreat! So today I brought more farmers sausage for lunch, and a variety of snacks for the morning and afternoon and screw the budget, I'm going to Wendy's for lunch (with hubby's "permission" even to screw the budget).

ETA: i feel crappy today too. ugh. hope this doesn't keep up every afternoon, it is making doing my job difficult!

[lolalola]

I thought I was going to :duck: the M/S, but it hit me like a tonne of bricks at 7:30 this morning. :(

[Adamsmama]

It started earlier this week for me and has kept going each day. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to be sick and other times I just feel blahhh. I can't stand the smell of cooking beef/steak. :( Yuck.

[lolalola]

I can't stand the smell of cooking beef/steak. :( Yuck.

I've had a problem with meat/chicken/fish as of late. I can't handle the raw smell. Once it's cooked I'm ok, but cooking it is absolutely out of the question :(

[~~Mama2B~~]

I was sick as a dog today. I threw up for the first time. It was so disgusting. I have throwing up. I feel a little better now, but I'm still kinda queasy. This sucks.

Kristi

[Tawnykat]

I've been naseous for the past couple of weeks. That's one reason I suspected I was PG. I almost lost dinner tonight.:gloomy: I hope it holds off for a little while longer. Wanted to wait to tell DD1

[Debstmomy]

I just read that Avacados are full of great things for pregnant women. One being loaded with folic acid, 2nd full of B6 vitamins, which combats morning sickenss. So go eat your Guacamole!!!! YUM!

[Lizzo]

Mountain Meadow Herbs Morning sickness balm is really great. Most of our mamas use it!
No MS for me...i suspect some. With DS I had very little, my m/c I had a TON...weird hunh?

[Krystal323]

me, me! ...except it's more like evening sickness for me, lol.

i never actually throw up, just feel perpetually hungry and/or nauseous. can't get away from one of those two feelings pretty much all day :rolleyes:

[jakesmama]

Hungry!!! All the dang time. Can't seem to get UN-hungry. I feel bad because at work I'm constantly eating (no one there knows yet) and I have a job that requires me to talk to clients, teachers, and kids. But if I don't eat I feel hot and hot leads to nauseous. So I eat all the time. I'm waiting for someone to say something to my supervisor.:lol

[MizLiz]

My morning sickness seems to be getting more and more intense as the days go on... this is all new to me! I always felt fantastic during my pregnancies, but this time around I'm feeling pretty sorry for myself. I'm either hungry because near everything makes me feel like vomiting (but I haven't actually gotten sick very often). Or I manage to eat something and then have to lie down for 45minutes+ so it will stay down. I feel like my guts are churning constantly...

I'm about 7.5 weeks now, and I read that m/s typically peaks around 9 weeks so I'm hopeful that this will soon improve.

there's my little rant for the day ;) - I hope you mamas are coping with your m/s well and growing healthy babies.

:Peace

[MizLiz]

Mountain Meadow Herbs Morning sickness balm is really great.

Anyone know what is in these? I'm interested to try something natural but would like to know more about the ingredients first.

Also, has anyone here tried acupressure bracelets? I hear they can be effective, too.

[crysmomofthree]

I just got a positive pg test today, but I have been feeling nauseous all week YUCK!

[Eaglevoice]

I just got my bfp this morning, and then three hours later...:Puke Ugh! I never had it with my first. I had the easiest pg ever! I guess payback is a bi*ch...since I rubbed it in my sister's face that I felt so good :innocent

[LoveBaby]

ewww...m/s hit here. yucko! and DS is not potty trained yet and changing his diapers is gross.

I ordered Morning Sickness Magic from Frontier today, so hopefully that will work. It's a bummer trying to keep yourself from puking while chasing after 3 other little ones. Ah well, at least I know it won't last forever!

[RoadBuddy]

Not yet...I'm 5 and a half weeks. I've a little queasiness, but that could have been all in my head.

[kdtmom2be]

There is lots of good info http://www.motherisk.org/women/forum_faq.jsp <--here related to morning sickness. Hope it helps someone.

[WendyC]

Everything is making me gag. Chicken stock was the worst - then these beans I cooked... ohhhh, just thinking about makes me ill. Lamb for dinner.... oh god. This is bad. Bad. bad. bad. bad. bad.

Can we inact a no puking smiley rule? I just saw it and :fever: :dizzy:

I don't remember being this sick with Ella - this is terrible. I can't eat hardly anything. How can I get in all my superfoods if all I am able to keep down is bread?!

[MizLiz]

Can we inact a no puking smiley rule? I just saw it and :fever: :dizzy:


I agree! I feel really yucky and those barfing smilies don't help!

What remedies are you mamas trying to get through morning sickness? The only thing that works for me (and that stays down for most of the day) is soda crackers and gingerale, neither of wich I usually buy. I'm kind of concerned that my very limited diet will have some sort of negative effect on my babe. I'm hoping real hard that I'll be able to bring in other foods to my diet soon, other than white flour and sugar! Luckily the prenatal vitamins will count for something but I do miss eat fresh fruits and veggies.

[Dolphin]

I agree - why is it that white bread and sugar is appealing? You would think our bodies would somehow be programmed to crave only good stuff during these early weeks! Yuk...I've had more Wonder Bread and American cheese in the past 3 weeks than I ever have in my life!

[theretohere]

I have all day/ evening sickness. Ewww.

[RobynFSU]

I am being sure to take my Juice Plus every day along with my prenatals so my body is getting some nutrients. A lot of queasiness and food aversions here.

[Eaglevoice]

I've been eating nothing but whole wheat english muffins with peanut butter and cheese quesadillas. DH took me out to dinner tonight to celebrate and I told him I wanted mexican food. Bad idea, I ate a whole basket of chips and that was pretty much it, by the time the food came it didn't look good to me at all. I felt pretty bad for not hardly touching my dinner, but at least he's got a great lunch for tomorrow. I haven't gotten sick since yesterday afternoon, but I've had that weird feeling in the pit of my stomach all day... feels like I'm hungry, but no matter what I eat, it won't go away.

Same for me! I eat a couple bites of my meal and the rest goes to dh. I've been eating yogurt, bread and cereal for ever meal for weeks. I drink lots of juice, but I'm worried that I'm not getting the nutrients. I can sometimes eat a salad or fruit, but usually I'm too sick to keep it down. I hope baby is resiliant down there! Blah...

Kristi

[wisconsingirl]

I'm 4 weeks pg and worried that I am not feeling more nauseous!!! My breasts are really hurting today so I'm taking that as a good sign. I had a miscarriage in Sept. 04 and now I'm afraid if I'm not vomiting profusely that something is wrong!

I guess I should count my blessing!!!

Take Care,
Pam

[Adamsmama]

Ughhh---my morning sickness is horrible today. Some days I feel pretty much ok but last night I just felt so sick...all I could eat was Tostitos and Sprite which did settle my stomach. This morning I've been battling sickness since 6:45am! I also have a lot of aversions now--some things just look terrible and other things just taste terrible! The only sweets I'm craving (other than Sprite) is fruit juice bars with creamy icecream in the middle.

[aran]

I have been queasy since before I got my bfp. Now it is really starting to kick up to a level that's interfering with the rest of my life. Yesterday, I had a business trip (hopefully, and likely the last one for a long time) with a co-worker to give a presentation to a bunch of corporate-types. It was soooooo hard!!! For much of the time, I had to just concentrate on not vomiting. When we got to the meeting room, I scoped out all the trash barrels first thing, just in case. The bathroom was like, a city block away so running there was out of the question. Luckily the room was very cold, which helped. Lunch was brought in and all I could eat was watermelon cubes and potato chips. I got some weird looks! I am so happy I got through it without tossing. Dealing with m/s from home today is so much easier after what I went through yesterday! Every time I feel sorry for myself, I will just remember how awful it was to focus all my energy on not vomiting in the airplane, the cab, the woman who I just met's car, the meeting room...

[LoveBaby]

It's hit all day here, too. Yucko. Trying to fix supper is a nightmare. Thank goodness we still live with my MIL, as she's been brilliant in taking over if I feel ill. Thank God for the small blessings!

One thing that seems to help is sucking on one square of dark chocolate. It kind of gets me over the totally yucky feeling. At least for a little bit. I can't wait until my frontier order gets here tomorrow with the Morning Sickness Magic. I'm praying it works brilliantly!

[Goldiemom]

Ok, you can now add me to the list! All that yummy protein I have been consuming all day has now just gone to waste! Tossed it all up. I hope that by continuing to eat all this protein I can prevent this from happening all the time, but we shall see. Protein is good though right? *sigh*

[Tawnykat]

So for so good. Just had problems with brushing my teeth. I read on another post somewhere that protein will help with the morning sickness. Also try ginger cookies. Last one I was sick realy bad so this is a nice change.

I've heard that a lot of the time ms doesn't start until week 6. That's how it was for me. I felt fine until the 6th week and then it hit.

Kristi

[wisconsingirl]

Kristi,
That's what I keep telling myself. I'll enjoy NOT being sick while I can. I don't know how I'm getting be hurling and chasing my 1yo around!

Take Care, Pam

Kristi,

Take Care, Pam

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll be one of the lucky ones who escapes ms!

Kristi

[Rico'sAlice]

I just started a couple of days ago. I thought I was going to escape it b/c my mother never had any w. either pregnancy. No actually getting sick yet, but I feel nauseas and nothing seems appetizing. Mostly sticking to crackers. After 5 pm or so I can eat anything I want and have a huge appetite.

[ewins24]

ME!! I'm sick ALL day! I've even gotten a trip to the ER then an over night stay in the hospital b/c I was so sick I couldn't keep anything down and was very dehydrated (8 bags of fluid worth!!)

Mine usually go away around 14 weeks, I'm 7 weeks now! So I have a long way to go.

I am on meds now to hellp and I can keep somethings down but I tend to get sick at least once a day and that is usually at night.

[todavia]

i felt sick a lot with my first but only actually threw up twice (unfortunately once was in the subway station:( ).
i'm at about 4 weeks right now and nothing major yet but definitely going back and forth between feeling super hungry and then feeling NO interest in anything edible. tonight i cooked a big dinner then didn't want to eat any of it...forced myself to eat the veggies and some rice but was not feeling the fish AT ALL. oh well...

[~~Mama2B~~]

I'm at week 10 now and I'm reeeeeally hoping the ms will go away within the next week or so! I get sick almost everyday and I feel nauseous ALL day which sucks. With my mom she only had ms for the first trimester, so I hope I will follow suit and it will go away. I was drinking a lot of water and eating crackers, but for the past couple weeks I can't even do that. I eat what seems appetizing (which isn't usually healthy) and just hope it stays down. I can't wait to feel better so I can start eating better.

Kristi

[Marvelleaux]

Yup. The queazies set in at 5 weeks.

*bleah*

[jstar]

feeling so ill 24 hours a day right now. i'm waking up in the middle of the night feeling gross. i haven't actually been sick yet. the nausea makes it really hard to find things to eat.

[Willzmama]

OMG I can't imagine having to do something OFFICIAL right now. I brought my son to the library for storytime today and all I could do was sit there and try not to turn green.

I got some Prince of Peace Ginger Honey crystals yesterday. You mix them with water, hot or cold, and it makes a sweet and spicy tummy-soothing drink. It's workin' for that nausea!

[stacey0402]

the last 2 days have been pretty rough. Yesterday I was out shopping and I couldn't take it anymore. I bought an ice cold can of regular Coke. I love that stuff on a queasy stomach. It was instant relief.

[Ilana]

Mine finally hit just before six weeks (like a week ago) and I just feel mildly ill all the time and can't each much of anything. I just discovered that orange juice is really great for raising my blood sugar levels so I feel better at least for a bit. Hats off to those of you who are really sick and yet still managing to stay on top of your lives! I don't know how you do it!

ILANA

[Willzmama]

I, too, have found that orange juice tastes really great these days. Last night I had to have some ginger ale before bed. That helped. Seltzer is good, too. Whoooo I've had some strong nausea the past couple of days. It seems to be worse at night. I try to get stuff done in the a.m. before it sets in...

[tryingagain]

I am right there with all of you! Have been feeling quite sick and have been living on ginger ale! Hope it's a good sign!

[wisconsingirl]

Hi! Well I have not missed out on morning sickness...hit me last week at 6 weeks. I've not actually thrown up but I'm nauseous 24/7...and it's so much worse at night I can hardly sleep! YUCKY!

Good Luck!
Pam
