Hi...at least now i dont feel so alone....This is my third pregnancy and each time the sickness has been different with my son i was sick everyday even in delivery,with my daughter i only suffered for the first 12 weeks but this time maybe because i am in my late 30s it is every minute of every day even at night, since 5 weeks and i am now 12 weeks...I spend most of my time lying around 'cos getting vertical is a nightmare...Strawberries and tinned tomatoes are the only things that dont make me barf straightaway...Roll on August as labour,dirty nappies and sleepless nights are all easier than this continual vomiting and nausea...Goodluck to us all...
It is worth it though...

Hi All I have come across this site and have found my people. I am 15 weeks now and have has MS since I was 5 Weeks. I fractured 2 ribs with my first bub when I was 8 weeks preg due to my excessive vomiting and my MS lasted til I was 18 weeks then started again at 30 weeks. My second was a little easier no fractured and it ceased at 14 weeks. This pregnancy has really done a number on me I vomit up to 5 times a day and have nausea that is relentless. I am producong way to much saliva so of I do not spit I vomit even more. I have had to take leave from work as I am constany sick. Tired all nothing works. Feel hopeless and really down which is not me as by some point in my day I would have usually done a happy dance for something. I have no energy I am drained I just want to wake up when I am 40 weeks.

This is my first pregnancy.I am in week 13 and have terrible
morning sickness since week 8.My stomach gets empty every 1-2 hrs though i eat small frequent meals throughout the day.I feel nauseated when i don't.
This is most tragic part as i have aversions to most of the foods..I am afraid if i have to continue taking food every half n hr all through 9 months though i hate it to the core(i mean even after ms ends?).One more problem is severe breathlessness at night when sleeping on my sides.Any info on this?

I found out I was pregnant Christmas eve-eve and have been nauseated ever since. I\'ve tried everything it seems and nothing has helped. I can\'t stand the sight, smell, taste or thought of food. I even turn the channel if there are too many food commercials. I will be 13 weeks on Monday and I\'m praying this ends soon. I\'ve tried hard candies and preggo pops and eating small amounts of food every hour or so but it seems the only foods I can tolerate are fruits and cereal. I\'m gonna hate them when this is done.

Reading through all of your entries really helps a tremendous amount, I know I am amidst sisters here. I would like to share another perspective with you. I am a product of a hyperemesis gravidium pregnancy in it's truest form. My mother was sick from the day she found out she was pregnant to the day she delivered. Her stories of survival include stuffing an empty box of kleenex's full of grocery sacks when she went to the grocery store so she would have a place to puke, she had a designated tree in our yard she would throw up under when she was hanging laundry, and my 4 year old older sister would empty her bucket when she couldn't get up to do it. She never tells me about the doubts, depression, and regrets I know she probably had when she was lying on the bathroom floor, although I know from experience and from all of your words, those feelings are all too real. Let me just tell you this, I never really appreciated her sacrifice until I walked the same walk (must be hereditary), thank the Lord mine didn't last all nine months. I thank her everyday for having me even though she knew from her first pregnancy what it would mean. Please know that some day your babies will understand your sacrifice and love you all the more for it.
I am 9 weeks along right now with my second and every one of your words are encouragement to me. Isn't it amazing that we are never more close to God than when we are on our knees!

Ok girls, I Totally feel crazy lately. I am on an at home iv, stomach pump of zofran and now a bad cold. I felt my first thoughts of depression lately and it's not pretty. The messy kitchen from my kids, the smell of the house, the dog, even my husband's cologne is making me vomit. I truly cannot handle it anymore. My thoughts have not been good and I just don't feel like myself anymore. I loved myself and now I hate myself. I fear the next day every day and when it comes time to eat, forget it, the hardest part. I will be 13 weeks tomorrow and I am going it'll get better soon. I was 18 weeks along when the nausea finally ended with my last preg. I hope you all feel better soon.

Wow, I can't believe I found this site. I was really feeling very alone in this. I have a daughter who is almost 3 and was NEVER sick a single day with her. Last year I was pregnant and found out it was twins and I felt like death, hurling all day. I lost them at 11 weeks, but chalked up the sickness to multiples. I got pregnant again in the fall, I'll be 15 weeks tomorrow and I've been extremely ill since 5 weeks. The smells from everything are so intense. I could smell the drains in our house, that's how crazy my nose is. I was vomiting 2 - 3 times a day, but I'm now down to 1 time. I never know what to expect. Some days I'm sick in the morning, others all day, sometimes in the evenings. I was on some initial medicine that knocked me out and so I stopped taking that and started taking Zofran, wich helps take the edge off. A full pill made me feel crazy, so my doc suggested taking half a pill and that definitely helped. In the past two weeks in the late morning I get a lovely headache that lasts the rest of the day. So hard when you have a toddler running around. i feel so useless and walk around the house hunched over. Sleeping is awful. I wake up to use the bathroom 4 or 5 times. Sometimes I can't get back to sleep. I can only drink ICE cold water or I get sick. But in the middle of the night, I'm thirsty, but if I drink, I feel worse. Sleeping is awful. How I feel when I wake up is worse and I usually end up vomiting my empty stomach every morning. Everyone keeps saying "But you'll have a healthy baby from all this pain" well I just received my results from my first trimester screening and it came back as a high probability of Downs Syndrome. I go back next week for an Amnio, which takes another week for results. But do endure all of this and not have a healthy baby. It's so hard. Hoping for the best with the test and that relief may be around the corner for me. It's so difficult. Hoping that I feel like a new woman after delivery!

I hate being pregnant. I did not expect pregnancy to be this hard. I feel like I am doing this by myself. I am 17 weeks and I am still sick tired and irritated all the time. I am NOT excited about this pregnancy or baby at all. I know that it sounds terrible but it is true. I recently had surgery to remove ovarian cysts and within a few months I was pregnant. This is making the pain even more overwhelming because it feels like all my scar tissue is about to tear my body open. I was not prepared for all of this. I just want this process to hurry up but it seems like it is going at a snail's pace.

I am so glad I found this site. I am currently 16 weeks prego and have had horrible morning sickness since 5 weeks. This is my first pregnancy and so far felt like i have been dying. Im always tired, sick and feel like i cant to do anything anymore. I lost some weight but i found certain foods i could eat but after a while they get old and make me sick thinking about have to eat it again. I finally was prescribed zofran 2 weeks ago but had severe chest pains that night so now im scared to take it again since the hospital could not give me a reason for it. However my worst problem is my family in laws whom i live with. They all tell me is that im not walking around enough, its in my head, im only pregnant not diseased and im starving the baby. I was actually crying tonight because it made me feel all alone and a bad mother to be. Thanks to everyones post, i feel better knowing that im not alone and that im not weak. That pregnancy can really take a toll on a person.

I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one! Almost at 9 weeks and want to hang myself from this miserable nausea. Nothing joyful about being pregnant for me! This WILL be my one and only. I admire people who get this sick and then do it AGAIN! Wow.
I'm praying (hoping) that it will begin to dissipate soon...I'm scared that this will go on to week 16 or 20.

I'm so happy I found this site. I'm currently 11 weeks and have been dealing with terrible morning sickness for 1 1/2 months now. I can barely move. At first it just started with mild nausea that would get better if I moved around a little. Then I got hit like a ton of bricks. We ended up changing my anti-nausea meds 3X. My doctor finally put me on 8mg of Zofran and alternating it with Reglan. This was enough to keep me out of the hospital. I stopped taking the Reglan since I think it made me worse but my doctor says the Zofran is as good as we're going to get right now. I'm able to keep down most food and liquid, although I can only eat starch. The bad part is that if I move around too much, talk to much or sit up too long I get sick as hell......so basically I've spent the whole time horizontal. The only time I do leave the house is for doctor appointments and we make sure to carry a barf bag with us. The most frustrating part is when people just don't get it. You tell them you have extreme morning sickness and they say "just eat ginger" and eat smaller meals, because apparently even though I'm 11 weeks I've never talked to my doctor or looked up ways to decrease morning sickness. My only saving grace right now is my husband who has been doing everything! I try to keep a sense of humor. We joke that the sounds that come out of my mouth when I heave sound like a walrus fighting a wookie. Despite this, I cannot wait until this is over. I have a 2 week leave from work and just pray that I get better by 13 weeks. I feel for those of you who are still this bad the whole time. I know having a healthy baby will be all worth it however that seems like it way down the road. Keep strong everyone. You are not alone.

Hi there
What a great site, I am 6 weeks preggo and are experiencing ms again, had it really bad with my ds, thought I was going to die during that pregnancy, found no remedies to help. I have rheumatoid arthritis and have take predisone so did not want to mixed with any other meds. This pregnancy looks like its heading in the same direction, been vomiting since week 4, one thing that I do find helpful is sucking ice cubes for water intake. During ds pregnancy I could not eat or drink much vomited a few times a day, even had one bad time where I had just drunk a banana milk and was crossing the road back to work when a diesel truck drove passed, made me vomiting right there on the footpath with people walking (I worked in the city) and the banana milk came out and landed on some poor guys shoes, he was not impressed, called me a nasty name, I didn\\\'t think things could get any worse. I started feeling ok rnd 28 weeks, but ms came back again at 32 weeks till delivery day and still was vomiting even that day, I lost about 15kg during the pregnancy, people could not believe that I had just given birth a day after ds was born. For those on first pregnancy, the day you give birth you will feel a 1000 times better is amazing. I totally understand were you all are coming from and the thing that I find frustrating is that I do not know anyone personally that has experience ms as bad as some of us have, and all they can say as it will ease up rnd week 12, this I found really annoying, I would appreciated them saying mothing and seeing if they could help by removing some of the odors that would trigger the vomiting. This would be more helpful. All the best ladies, try and smile and just remember there will be a little person at the end. Take care and I hope you all get better soon, if not hang in there.

Hello to all. I am currently 18 weeks pregnant. And thought it would only be right to share my experience with morning sickness with all of you, as your stories helped me cope through the difficult time.
I began to feel sick at 6 weeks. I tried to not take medications, or visit my doctor as I knew this was all part of the pregnancy. Went like that for a month and no getting better. Went to the doctor and had lost about 5-6 pounds. During that visit is when I decided I needed to take meds to get over the horrific nausea and vomitting I had (3-4x/day or more). I was not able to smell any sort of scent of food. I was afraid to go out because food smells are everywhere. My husband could not cook, heat up food, or even talk about food. Anyways..I got prescribed Zofran which helped the vomitting go down to 1-2x/day. But still felt miserable and nauseated. After being on Zofran for about 2 weeks, my entire family was real worried about me cuz I kept losing weight (lost about 10-11 pounds total), did not want to eat, no wait, could not eat, so they sent me to the hospital. I stayed for 4 days, got rehydrated and they changed my meds to Phenergan and the scopalamine patch. It helped, but it didnt at the same time, because I still felt like I wanted to die.
When I reached 16 weeks, I started feeling better, thank goodness.
Now, I am still on Phenergan, but I only take it about 1x per day rather than around the clock. I look back at that time and I refer to it as my death for 2 1/2 months. I really felt dead, unhappy, and like I wanted to die. I also had to take a leave of abcense from work for 1 month to recover. During the time I often felt frustrated because people would not understand what I was going through, my family would tell me, oh just dont think about it and just eat. Sorry folks its not that easy. Trust me, I did want to eat, I just couldnt. I felt like I had an eating disorder.
Anyways...thats my story, Im still struggling with the pregnancy, still cant cook, I cant wait for it to be over. I just think as the days pass, that is one less day that I am pregnant. Good luck to all of you still in your dead stage. I dont wish this upon even my worst enemy. Just remember with time it will get better, cant guarantee it will completely go away, as that hasnt happened to me, but at least I can eat now.

Hi mommys
I have been suffering severely for just over 2 weeks now. The sickness is getting me really down and I havent got out of bed except for the trip to the hospital last week. I was hospitalised overnight and put on a iv drip for dehydration. I was given anti sickness injections and the following day i felt fine ! Fast forward to the day after and the sickness was just as bad before. I am not sleeping normally because I keep taking intervals to sleep through out the day to just escape the sickness.
I'm beginning to feel like all this isn't worth it I have my first scan on Thursday and I'm hoping that seeing my baba will make me feel a tiny bit better psychologically and give me the will to keep going.
I am scraping through the day on cornflakes, crackers and mashed potato. I can never keep any of these down but they stay down longer than other foods. When it gets to around 10 on the night my stomach is so empty that i start throwing up yellow bile (sorry if too much information) and it is disgusting and hurts.
I just want this to end now ! I am going to ask for medication when I have my midwife appointment which is also on Thursday.
My heart goes out to you all suffering from pregnancy sickness and I can only hope we all get better soon.
Hannah xxxxxx

Okay..
My first pregnancy was great, around week 5 I had *very* slight nausea nothing to really bother me at all. We soared through 9 months and I now have a lovely 4 month old daughter. * Warning * You CAN get pregnant while breast feeding, I have and am now pregnant with my second baby~! For some reason people think you can not *L* This second pregnancy has not been pretty as far as Morning Sickness is concerned. Not only have I had nausea but I have also had * HORRRRIBLE * intestinal cramping and diarrhea~! Very lovely~! I was able to deal with the nausea but the intestinal cramps were something else, usually occurring in the evening and I would end up in bed for the rest of the night~! I didn't know I was pregnant again and actually thought I had some kind of * FLU * or intestinal disease... the intestinal cramps are what got me to the Dr. where I found out I was pregnant. Needless to say the Morning Sickness has ended and I feel human once again. Now I just need to find some energy~!

Hello mommy's,
I am 15 weeks pregnant with my second child. I have a 2 year old. my misery started at weeks 6. and has just started to get better this week. I work full time in a very fast pased medical office and there were days when I could barely stand let alone put a smile on my face and try to work. my morning sickness lasted ALL day and the only time i felt better was when i was sleeping. I had no energy to do anything. my dishes my floors my laundry my family all had to be put on hold as I lay there after work or on the weekends wishing someone could just put me out of my misery.
It is so hard to be excited about being pregnant when your insides feel twisted in knots. call it bloating, call it morning sickness, call it constipation, it felt like i would never be the same again. the thought of food would make me sick and the only way I could keep anything down was by using Zofran twice daily which made me so constipated I didn't poop once for 7 days. wound up in Urgent care compacted and loosing my mind. all I wanted to do was sleep sleep sleep. the smell of my own daughters breath made me feel ill. and being constipated made it even harder to eat. I am still vomiting in the mornings but i no longer feel sick all day and my energy has returned. my appititehas increased and smells are not as strong anymore. well I just want you all to know it will get better. most women turn around between weeks 12-16. good luck ladies and husbands. keep your heads up..

I'm now 15 weeks and have been sick since 6 weeks. To make things worse the father of this baby and my other 2 girls decided he didn\'t want to be apart of our lives anymore and found him another woman. I don't know how to deal with this sickness and the heartache I feel. There are days I can't get out of bed no matter how hard I try. I throw up all day every day and have tried every medicine my doctor will give me. I have lost 20lbs so far and have been hospitalized 2 times. I hope and pray things get better soon!!

This is an interesting site... I am almost 17 weeks pregnant. I started getting sick at 6 weeks, then got really sick. I ended up in hospital with dehydration, and a suspected virus. I was unable to stand for almost 2 weeks, and I lost 11 lbs in 2 weeks. I started on Diaclectin, a prescription drug, and I've been on it for months. I just tried to wean myslef off of the drugs, and I started throwing up everyday. So back to the pills.
Nothing else seems to help, but I also have been unable to eat meat for months. Hopefully, I can stop the drugs in a few more weeks, but they really do work, so for women in Canada, it's worth taking.

Hi All,
I have used this part of the site to express my misery and inability to cope throughout my last pregnancy and this one. I am now 26 weeks and have finally started to feel a bit better. For many weeks I didn't even have the energy to walk down the road to the shops. Very unlike me. Some days of looking after my 2 year-old left me literally on my knees when my partner came in from work. The sickness did not stop but took WEEKS to tail off little by little and it was only after a few days of not retching that I realised there must be some progress. Just keep your head down everyone and think of the time when you will want something to eat and will eat it and will enjoy it! You have my absolute sympathy xxxxxx

I am glad to read these stories. None of my friends or family have experienced ms, so I have no one that thinks it is bad...but it is bad. I feel terrible every day, but I am neglecting my husband, family, and my home because it is so miserable. I am 10 weeks and have been throwing up now all day for almost 4 weeks. I have done the IV at the emergency room, I took Zofram and Phenergan, neither have worked for me. I hope there is a chance I can feel the slightest bit ok again soon. I pray everyday that I may be able to eat again and keep it down. I work a very stressful job and being there feeling like this is so hard. You just want to leave. I hope there is some good news ahead for everyone suffering from this. You would think there would be something better to prescribe to pregnant women for it, so they are not miserable the whole time, so they can enjoy being pregnant.
