Hello, ran across this site in a search. This is my 2nd pregnancy. My first I was sick at 6 weeks to 18...zofran worked miracles for my son. Now, My morning sickness started around 6 weeks and I am now almost 11 weeks. It's still in full force. I've been prescribed zofran but it isn't working like last time. I'm Nauseated with vomiting all day, one time of day is never better than another to eat and nothing looks good. I was hospitalized for dehydration recently bc I was vomiting every half hour. My husband does everything and I feel I can't even leave me house. We live in Texas and its 100 degrees outside, I wish it was cold. I feel I could just hide all day in bed. Thank goodness my son is 5 years old and can do much on his own. But I still feel like a bad wife and mother bc I can't do much but lie in misery and walk only with a Barf bucket. It's so depressing. I just want to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm scared I may get post partum depression since I've heard women this sick are at increased risk. My hubby and I live this baby and want it so much, I wish I could show it more but I'm so low on energy. I hope we all find some relief soon......carrying a baby is not easy. We wanted one more, I don't know anymore though. Best luck to all.

I have experienced morning sickness everyday since about week 5. It has been a horrible experience. At the beginning I tried motion sickness bands, then ginger, crackers in the morning. I could not keep anything down in the morning at all and usually could not eat until around 2 pm. I never had energy, and would wake up around 6 every morning dying of sickness. Then again at night before bed. I was prescribed Zofran and that saved my life. I am now 17 weeks, and things are just getting better, I can eat and have figured out different methods to ease the sickness, ice water, and grits, as long as I can keep something down I wait and then once I have something in my stomach I try to keep something small in it constantly all day just to keep my sickness from coming back. Most recently if nothing helps, even the zofran, because I am starting to be immune to it, I will take dramamine so that I can sleep and feel better. Morning sickness sucks, but I definitely experienced the hell of it.

I'm 11+weeks and started experiencing morning sickness from 6.5weeks. Initially I'd feel the urge to puke but nothing would come out. One week later, I was puking everything I ate. On top of that, I was spotting and hence ordered a week of bed rest. That week was absolutely terrible because I'd to look after myself (husband was at work) and would get very angry each time I vomited. Since then, my morning sickness has improved in the sense that it starts from 6pm. As such, I cannot remember the last time I was able to keep my dinners down. I'll vomit until the wee hours of the morning or until I'm flat out exhausted. This has also resulted in me going to bed with an empty stomach which in turns causes me to wake up in the middle of the night to look for food. My husband has been very patient as he wakes up to attend to me. Everyone tells me things will get better after the first trimester and I just can't wait to feel human again. I want to be a happy mom-to-be so that my baby will be happy but when you hug the toilet bowl more than 5 times a day, it's tough to feel good about yourself.

I am 9.5 weeks pregnant. My nausea started at week 6. I've been sick almost every day, sometimes just once, sometimes three or four times. I've tried everything - ginger in all forms, crackers, lemonade, watermelon, vitamin B6, sea bands, acupuncture. They didn't help much. Probably the only thing that made me feel better was chicken noodle soup from Au Bon Pain (just the broth). Otherwise, it's been complete misery. I've starting throwing up bile which really freaked me out. I think we just need to wait it out...Good luck everyone!

Morning sickness for me has started since week 6. This is my first pregnancy and I am now transitioning into week 12 and the morning sickness is still very much present. It seems as if I've tried everything from Ginger Ale to Preggie Pops and still no relief. Just when I felt that the sickness was subsiding in week 10 it hit me again in week 11. All I want to do is cry because I'm so sick and frustrated; I can barely handle short car rides and long distances from my couch! I've always wanted a big family but this sickness is so terrible I've retracted that thought from my mind. I just pray the sickness ends soon.

I'm 8 weeks along with my second pregnancy. With pregnancy number 1 I was horrendously sick all day until about 18 weeks, and still vomiting every morning until the birth. I was hospitalised twice for rehydration. Zofran gave me some relief, but the nausea was still bad. This pregnancy was following the same pattern, but I saw a different doctor, who mentioned Restavit, or if that didn't work, a course of corticosteroids. So far the Restavit has worked wonders - I have had 24hrs of being able to eat and drink without vomiting. I also feel so much happier knowing that if it stops working I have a doctor this time who is willing to work with me to find a solution and doesn't just expect me to put up with it. Hyperemesis is a serious condition and not something that you should just put up with. You need to find someone who will look after you properly.

I first got morning sickness at about 3 weeks yes it started way early! It didn't start out horrible though it was mainly nausea when I was hungry so I tried to not let myself get hungry. Then by 6 weeks I was nauseous all day long and nothing really helped I just wanted to sleep. My nausea was the worst so far between weeks 7-11 and I just ended week 11 and I already feel a little better I'm not sure if it'll last the whole week for week 12 or if it'll be off and on but for now I just feel nauseous again when I'm hungry. Good news I'm almost done with my first trimester! Yay!

I'm 10weeks 6 days with my first. sickness started at 6weeks. Just felt sick 24/7 but eating little and often seemed to help. Week 9 was the worst week of my life just felt terrible all the time didn't want to eat anything but forced myself to, had horrid taste in my mouth all tge time and cried ALOT!!!!! The beginning of 10weeks (this week) I started to feel like a human being again until today when nausea came back. Not quite as bad as before but still not nice!!
So happy about this pregnancy but sometimes it's so hard when all I wanna do is curl up in a corner and come out in January when baby is due!!!
Hoping that sickness is going to start easing off more and more though now.
Good luck and congratulations to everyone.

I am 8 weeks pregnant with my first child and my morning sickness started at 5 weeks. It was hardly noticeable at first and I was able to combat it by eating constantly (just making sure I was never hungry). I think by week six it really hit and although I haven't thrown up thankfully, I feel sick 24/7. Nothing tastes good anymore and I have to constantly brush my teeth b/c even the taste in my mouth bothers me. My sense of smell doesn't make things worse, but like some of you have said, sometimes the smell of my husband before a shower or our bedding aggravates my nausea. I know I'm lucky considering that some women are throwing up constantly, but I'm just tired of feeling sick. I've tired ginger tea, eating several meals throughout the day, etc and nothing seems to help. I'm kinda worried that it will get worse sense I've heard that weeks 8-10 are horrendous. I just want to feel better soon so that I can start to enjoy my pregnancy. Good luck to everyone.

I am now at 11 weeks and 3 days pregnant of my 1st baby! I just heard my baby’s HB last Wednesday at 150/min. I was so tearful then. I had my first bouts of m/s during the 5th or 6th week of pregnancy, just right after I noticed that I have my ‘implantation bleeding’. It was very hard cause it is worse during the morning, just after I woke up and throughout the day until dinner. I could hardly take down food except for watermelon and coconut water. I lose weight during the entire 2 months of morning sickness. Luckily, my hubby is there to do everything I suppose to do since, I am just in the bed the whole time I am at home, and when I am in the office, I was just in my table or in the rest room to take out all the stuff. I can’t stand any smell, I just want fresh air. I even hesitate to take a bath since I do not like the smell of soap, shampoos and everything that is so synthetic (even the smell of my hubby’s body odor and breath). I became a loner and a manhater at one point of my life. I demand to wash all the bedstuffs almost everyday since I can smell something I don’t like from it. But right now, I am feeling much better but still, it comes and goes. Though I have a very difficult pregnancy, I am still very happy and optmistic to see my baby coming out soon!!!

This is such a nice thing to stumble on, thank you google! I am pregnant with my 2nd and my 1st is only 12 months and she is very high need. I quit my job 6 months ago to stay home with her because she was not doing well in daycare and we were going thru our 2nd daycare in 3 months which is so bad for the baby but she had terrible acid reflux and was only bf and wouldn\'t take a bottle or nap anywhere but home and after 3 months she was not thriving and it was killing me, so now I have no job or insurance things are pretty tight and surprise I am preg again!! I am still bf and didn\'t even kno until I started throwing up everyday because I was not menstrating. 2 months ago I was diagnosed with poly cystic ovary syndrome and told I was lucky to have the baby I did and would prob never have any more! Haha wrong! I really am excited for this baby, I want a boy and was sure I wouldn\'t be able to have more children so it is a happy surprise but my one yr old does not sleep through the night, is extremely demanding and won\'t wean from the breast. I am morning sick to the point where even if I try to eat before maybe 6 pm I throw it up and I feel sick 24/7 so getting up 5 times at night and feeding my daughter from my body as well as myself and growing a baby has me more than exhausted and @ my daughters one year checkup she was found to be almost anemic her iron was so low, it was checked in april and it was very high for a bf baby and now it is so low I am worried the baby is not getting nurtrition and vitamins and will not be ok!! I kno I am running so thin and just can\'t eat anything. My throat is so sore from throwing up and I still haven\'t seen a doctor because I have no insurance and am waiting for medicaid.. I am so stressed and I feel like a terrible mother, wife, and pregnant woman! My house is a mess, my husband works all day and then comes home and does as much housework as possible which isn\'t fair and makes me feel so guilty. I also feel so awful that I have almost no patience for my daughter who I love so much, her crying and neediness is putting so much extra stress on me and I am exhausted!! It is nice to read these posts and see that I am not alone, I kno a lot of people who didn\'t have morning sickness and don\'t understand, and I feel very judged by them. With my daughter I was sick from 4-17 weeks and this time not being able to rest or sleep through the night that seems like a verrry verrry long time and I don\'t even kno how far into it I am!!!!

I am 8 weeks into my 2nd pregnancy, & like my 1st pregnancy, feel queasy all day. The worst part is my horrible boss brings his smelly dog into our shared office and I have to smell "wet dog" all day. He doesn't know I am expecting but probably is wondering why I am gagging all day!

Hi all,
I have found this simple thing very effective over the last 2 months. As soon as the feeling of sickness starts, eat a Ginger nut biscuit and drink a small glass of Ginger ale!!!!! I really wish I had known this on my previous 2 pregnancies as I was very sick. Best of luck

I am almost 11 weeks pregnant with my first baby. My nausea started in the middle of my 6th week. Symptoms are worst from noon to 6pm. It has been very challenging since then. My sense of smell is incredibly sensitive. (Can't stand perfume, shampoo, soap, cleaning stuff smell, refrigerator smell, oven smell, bed smell, clothes smell, any type of body odor even after my husband has taken a shower-I can still smell it! ohh and I can't stand his breath/ Sounds funny, but it is true)Something that has helped is non-scented and natural products, the only product that I have to put up with is dental paste because I couldn't find a non-scented version. Cereal with pecans has helped too with 1% milk though. Do not drink regular milk, it can make your stomach more acidic because of the fat. 1% or skim milk buffers the acid, but because of its low fat content, it does not produce more acid later on - still do not drink too much. I have taken tums from time to time when my heart burn was bad, taking 1 before eating a bigger meal has definitely made a difference. Also, natural ginger (not dry, crystallized or packed ginger) NATURAL root, just cut 3 to 4 small pieces and swallow them, chew them a little if you are able to. It helps with the acid in the stomach therefore it helps nausea. I eat small meals, granola bars, crackers, wheat bread, apples, throughout the day. Now, nothing takes the nausea 100%, yes I still vomit but those little tricks helps Counting the days to start my second trimester and then the 3rd one, and then the baby. Hang in there. I wish the best of luck with your pregnancy, God bless all!

I'm currently 10.5 weeks pregnant and my morning sickness started around 5 weeks. I felt sick every day and vomited every morning until the 9th week came and now it's every 3 days. I am relieved to have 2 days in between to feel fairly decent and hope this means it will ease off completely in the next few weeks. Good luck ladies!!

Hello... im 15 weeks pregnant with twins and i already have a 6 month old. My morning sickness started from day 1 until around 22 weeks with my first. With this pregnancy it started from day 1 too, so i'm waiting to see if it lasts just as long. I am physically sick too and it can strike at any time of the day. I find i cant get on buses, or go in cars, i cant walk for long periods of time and been too hungry and too full triggers it off. Ive found that walking around bent over helps to releive it,(in the house only) although my partner thinks im strange ha. I have not found anything else that releives it. Just grin and bare i think x

I'm currently 15 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child, I have been sick since week 5. I feel terrible morning, noon and night. I am yet to find anything that brings relief? It's just such a horrible feeling, im miserable. The doc said it would ease by 14 weeks, I'm still waiting? Sending lots of sympathy and hugs to my fellow sufferers!

My morning sickness started around 6 weeks, but didnt get horrible until 8 weeks...here I am now 11 weeks and 2 days and still feeling nauseous....yesterday I actually felt a little better, and this morning it was not as intense as it usually is...so I'm assuming mine is easing up some...I mean I was absolutely miserable beyond imagination ...my husband could not stand seeing me that way... ...then a few days ago I had the worse heart burn and nausea all together...I thought I was dying I felt so bad...woke up about 4 times that night...and could not keep myself sleep...it was horrible...but I know that regardless of what I'm going through it will be all worth it in the end...can't wait to meet my little bean...keep your head up ladies...it will get better

I was feeling gloomy and sad and stumbled across this website and feel much better now after reading the many different stories posted. I am 6 weeks 6 days pregnant with my 2nd child. With my 1st I was sick the whole 9 months until immediately after I delivered I felt like my normal self again (ate a hotdog and drank a soda within an hour of having her) I was told by all my friends ' o the second time will be much easier, no more nausea' well they were WRONG! This time it started earlier and I work nights 12 hour shifts which makes it really hard to function. Zofran has been my friend though its not completly effective. Wearing psibands and they seem to help some. My husband has been amazing, totally supportive and trying so hard to make sure me and our daughter and this little one are cared for which makes such a difference. Thank you to all of you who have helped me accept that right now I'm a tired, cranky vomit machine that could care less about housework or even getting out of pajamas;) we can do it!

Hi ladies, I am now 15 weeks pregnant with my second and have had to take nearly 3 weeks off from work as was so ill with severe headaches and exhaustion. I felt awful with my 1st for 10 weeks or so but was never actually sick. Salty foods definitely helped and being able to sleep when I really needed to also - though with a toddler on the loose and no family nearby to help with such times, it has not been easy! I tried those travel sickness wrist bands and have to say, I did notice a huge improvement, though was told that the precise location of these was important to get right if going to work! It didn't resolve the sickness completely but was 60% improvement! Starting to feel better a little more often now, so hoping this will ease off now as have had enough of it all and it was certainly getting me down. Best of luck to everyone in feeling better soon

This is going to sound totally crazy but I am convinced that having orgasms controls my morning sickness - not cures, but controls.
I am 10 wks right now and feeling ok, but between 6-8 weeks I was downright miserable - vomiting multiple times per day and pretty much unable to function. Our anniversary fell at the end of the 7th week and even though I felt like hell I allowed my husband to make love to me. After a while I got into it and orgasmed and I felt so much better that day - I was even able to eat peanut butter on my toast! I thought I must have been over the hump and my morning sickness was done, but the next day it was back with a vengeance. My husband was convinced that sex made me feel better (I think most men believe sex is a cure-all) so we tried again and bingo! I had about 6 or 7 hours of relief.
Now whenever I start feeling that awful 'food is my enemy' feeling I excuse myself at the first possible moment and retreat to the bedroom for some medicine- with DH or alone. After I read about the health benefits of orgasming it actually makes sense - your body releases a bunch of feel-good hormones when you orgasm.
I know this is a weird story, but I wanted to put it out there incase it might help someone else. When I was at my worst with morning sickness I was a wreck and I would have tried almost anything to feel better.

It's horrible for me! My first pregnancy I was nauseas before I even missed my period. Now I am seven weeks and I'm neuseas and VERY picky on food. Things that help me are whole wheat bread (cannot stand white bread while pregnant) ginger ale is also a helper. My mornings are very slow. I wake up and make sure I get toast in me before I roll out of bed. For some reason though I can't take hot showers, they're agonizing. any Ideas to help with morning sickness??

It is so good to read about other women feeling the EXACT same way I do. I feel badly that you all feel badly, but you know what I mean!
This is my fourth pregnancy and I am in my 13th week...I thought that I might be getting a bit better and then the vomit returned!
I just keep saying the same things that I have read on this site...I want to feel normal again, be a mom to my three children outside of my womb, and take care of my house (I am a stay at home mom)
I have had All Day sickness with every pregnancy, and from what the doctors tell me it seems that my relief seems to come in the 16th week.
I am on Zofran and have tried EVERY trick in the book...Heres to ALL of us feeling like a normal person again, and being able to enjoy the fact of why we are sick to begin with!

well third time - finally after two depressingly sick pregnancies I have learnt to ask for Zofran from the moment i found out i was pregnant. So nice to NOT be vomiting and not being able to function all day. I still feel yukky in the tummy and tired but can manage the upkeep of the house and life in general- that is a blessing! Dont put up with it I say - get on Zofran asp so you don't have your life and your families ruined for months on end.
