I am 8wks 3days and tired of being pregnant. I never imagined pregnancy to be so hard! I am so glad when each day is over because I am hopefully closer to the day when I feel better. It gets really discouraging when you still have to function each day at work, etc., and you feel like you have a virus. This morning I just started to cry after dry heaving so hard I could not breathe. It honestly feels like this will not end. It is starting to make me extremely irritable because it seems there is no relief and if one more person tells me to eat small meals every 2 hours I will punch them in the face! Come on, like I have not heard or read that yet. (sorry, minor outburst) I have eaten the crackers, ginger, peppermint tea. I am on Zofran. All I want to do is go home and lie on my couch all day every day. I am tired of eating food. I hate food right now. If I do not eat it I get sick and if I do eat it I get sick. I am really glad I can vent on here because I honestly feel bad for complaining. I am very thankful to be pregnant, but this is awful. I do not understand how anyone can enjoy being pregnant. Actually, if I met some smiley pregnant person right now I would probably want punch them. :)

Hello, i wrote here a while ago, i was feeling really sick, now i'm 20 weeks pregnant and i feel great, except for my lower back, that hurts all the time.
I started feeling better after 14 weeks, the nausea started to slow dow, then after 16 weeks stopped.
So i just wanna tell everybody to be patient it will go away,
i just found out that i'm gonna have a girl, i'm really happy.
and i didnt give up about having more children, "yet" hahahaha lets see how it goes, i'm half way trhu my pregnancy, but everytime i see the video of my ultrasound , it makes me so happy and hard to believe that there is a baby growing inside me.  .
so good lucky to all, and i really hope everybody feel better.

Hi everyone,
I too had morning sickness until i was 16 weeks and now at 24 weeks it is back!This pregnancy is 10x worse then my first. My doctor prescribed me maxolon tablets, there the safest drug to take and work wonders as long as u can keep it down for half hour to kick in. I highly recommend it as getting on with life, work, kids etc is not fun when your constantly 'hugging the toilet'.

Hi, i'm 14 pregnant with my first. feel nauseous all the time (especially at night)but have not been sick. Things that have helped include eating small meals/snacks regualrly (rather than 3 big meals)and peppermint tea. Hiwever i've read that nausea is a sign of a healthy prepgnancy- let's hope so. good luck all x

This is my 4th pregnancy. I am 11 weeks pregnant. I have been sick with both my previous girl pregnancies but not my boy. So I assume I am having another girl because I feel so awful. Constant nausea and vomiting about 3 times per day. No food (or drink) is appealing to me. I try to keep down whatever I can at the particular moment. At one moment it may be a bagel, the next it may be fruit. I have tried ginger, crackers, sea bands, you name it I have tried it. I have even tried Zofran but find it makes me feel so much worse when it wears off and if I take it too frequently it stops working altogether. The worst part of it is that I have a full time job (as a doctor) and have to work nights and weekends, which is becoming excrutiatingly difficult. The only comforting thing that I can offer is that it is temporary and being a mom is for forever. No matter how awful I feel and no matter how much I feel like I am losing control of my normally happy daily life, I know that soon (hopefully really soon) I will feel better and welcome a happy and healthy baby (sure to be) girl.

here are some tips to make your morning sickness a little easier.
*try cutting a citrus fruit to your taste in half & sniffing it.
*have something to eat before you get out of bed always.
*peppermint or lemon gum & hard boiled lollies in these flavours are good to help get that horrible taste out of your mouth.
*getting some sun on your skin,i dont mean sun baking but just relaxing in the sun helps to lift your mood a bit.
*freeze ginger tea or lemonade or you can even mix them.freeze them into cubes or iceblock moulds to suck on.
*believe it or not a walk can help to, just walk at your own pace. sometimes getting out of the house without having to socilise can feel nice.
*listening to your favourite songs helps to perk you up a bit or watch a comedy.
these are just a few things that have helped me,im currently 6 weeks into my third pregnancy and have been the same through each one. i always say if you can get extra help from your mum or friend etc to help once a week to do some house work or if you have other children to get them to watch them for the day.i know it can get really hard and depressing at times but try to stay positive, somedays will be harder to do so but it does help.

I am on my 3rd pregnancy going into week 11. Sick since week 5.
I'm on Zofran which makes it slightly more tolerable but I still throw up 2-5 times a day and feel queasy from the moment I get up until bed! I can barely go into the kitchen-everything in there disgusts me; we've been eating a lot of take out. Things that help? Accupuncture 2X wk, preggie drops, saltines, soda (which I never drink, mouthwash and lots of rest (the couch is my best friend. Thank god I'm not working right now (I feel lucky). I know it will pass from my past experience, but it's soooooo gross, exhausting and it's easy to get really down. I make an effort everyday to try and stay positive!

Hi Everyone:) I am 12 wks pregnant. I have very gross pregnancy sickness - feeling sick from the moment I wake till the time I go to sleep. I have been sick since 6 wks. I have a four year old girl who is desperate for my full attention which I am just not able to give. I was sick with her too but not quite as bad for five months. The smells I cannot STAND are: house smells ( I open all the windows up even though it is winter)-my partner thinks I'm mad for that. I hate showers as the warm air is horrible. I don't like cold or hot touch. I don't like meat being cooked- but can eat it if I am out and haven't had to smell it cooking. I make my partner shower AS SOON as he gets home because I can even smell him and it can make me vomit. All the heaters have to be off apart from our lounge gas heater that is fluted. The list does go on:)
If I don't eat at least every two hours I will vomit. So I make myself eat all the time. I can only tolerate milk drinks, tangy juice (like grapefruit juice)and fizzy lemonade. Can't drink water or eat vegies only fruit. I pray there is only 4 more weeks of this torture as I am feeling down and tired. We have to all hang on in there and keep talking together and perhaps ONE day there WILL be a cure!!! Love to all.xoxox.

Hi all- I am 13 weeks 4 days with severe nausea and a combination of gagging up or vomiting. Mine started at 6 weeks on the dot. I am on zofran but have still lost a few pounds. Have been in the hospital twice for iv fluids bec of dehydration. What doesn't work for me: Ginger, mint, saltines, citrus, water, iced drinks. Generally, carbs tend to have partially stayed down. I joke to my friends that I am on the anti-atkins diet! I am really hoping this ends in another week or so, but not holding my breath.

Hello, i can sympathize with all of you ladies. I too am suffering... i am 9 weeks, 5 days with my second baby and having a hard time. I don't feel too bad in the morning... the nausea hits me hard though around noon and the rest of the day is a struggle to care for my 2 year old son. I call it all day sickness... not morning sickness. i don't remember feeling this ill with my first. i am hoping that this passes soon because i am sick of being sick. on top of this, i have had the flu all week  good luck to all of you. hope you feel better soon

I could really use some advice from some of you wise women out there - have horrific MS, am in week 9 and had it since about week 6. I am sick, low and generally depleted. For financial reasons have had to go and stay with my mother - my husband is a lot younger than me and looking for new job. The trouble is my mother is a bitch and can't help but bully me and give me stress. I feel stuck here for the moment for financial reasons but would give anything not to be....sorry to blab on, just feel so low

when i was pregnant the first time 4 years ago, i swore i would never get pregnant again, but you soon change your mind until the morning sickness creeps on then you remember why you swore youd never do it again. a bit like the morning after a drink you have the headache and the upset stomach but you never learn. ive barely managed to get out my bed and im only 10 weeks, but i have been eating non stop and havent been sick, though sometimes i wish i would be sick. just remember everybody feeling like utter death means that everything is ok with your baby. you would be worried if you felt fine, so remember you feel like death now, but when you hold that tiny baby that you created from scratch youll forget all the sickness, and will be very proud of yourselfs xxxx

I'm 20 weeks and just curious if anyone else feels extreme fatigue, dizziness and weakness all the time? I fainted a few weeks ago while out in public. I feel like I'm going to anytime I go out so I only go when someone is with me and only for a small period of time. I usually have to go sit in the car though cause I feel like I'm going to pass out. I am eating plenty and always make sure I have food in my stomach. It's kinda scary though.

Hi Ladies,
I am about 5 weeks. Just had a pretty sick 5th week with 24/7 nausea, 100% food aversion and some vomiting. But a lot of the vomiting is a lot of dry gagging rather than food actually coming out. I woke up this morning though - the time when I feel the worst usually - and I'm not feeling that sick. This is making me nervous. Have others had this experience where the symptoms simply eased for a half day or days and then came right back?

Hi, ladies. I posted on here, miserable, on the 3rd of July. I have had morning sickness since week 5, but right now at week 14 1/2 I am happy to say that I think it is getting better...not gone, but better which I will gladly accept! I still have aversions to certain smells and foods, but I finally have a larger selection of food that I CAN eat from, and I have gained back the weight that I lost at my first 2 doctor visits. One thing I found that has helped me out during the last two weeks: I get up at 5:30 in the morning and have a bowl of cereal, then go back to bed. I may fall asleep for an hour or just lie there, but it has kept me from what was nearly a daily vomiting occurrence. If you can keep cereal down, try it! Any kind...I tried to eat plain Cheerios first and that was all I could keep down, but since then I seriously have 10 kinds of cereal in my cabinet that I alternate everyday. I try to stick with low sugar and high protein, but even Crunchberries have 100% folic acid in a serving, so occasionally I splurge!
My new problem is headaches. Severe headaches. I got migraines before, and Tylenol is like eating sweettarts for all the good it does me. The doctor said my blood pressure is fine and to try acupuncture. .....I'm not sure about that, although I have heard it helps many things, such as morning sickness, back pain, headaches, etc.
If this helps anybody, that's all I hope for today. I was sooooo miserable for so long, and hated everyone who was pregnant and saying, "Oh, it's such a fabulous time, I feel great!" or "I knew someone who was sick for the ENTIRE time of their pregnancy!" Don't tell a miserable pregnant woman that!!! I may not be over the MS hill, but I have hopefully reached the top and started coming back down, and just keep hope ladies that you will, too!

I am 9 wks and 2 days along. This is my second pregnancy and my second battle with morning sickness. I understand your pain. I am stuck home all day everyday because I have no energy. The zofran has stopped working after only 8 days of taking it. I've lost my job and about 6 pounds so far. Smell has by far been the worst for me. It's even hard for me to shower because I can't stand the smell of my hair when its wet. My son is 5 years old and he is my hope for brighter days. I look at him and it reminds me that I will get through this. I really miss being my normal self.

Second pregnancy, in seventh week and feel like I am on a rocky boat all day. Only relief comes when I sleep. Was hospitalized for a day earlier this week due to dehydration, but even drinking has been so difficult... forget trying to eat more than crackers or a slice of bread! Chicken noodle soup has seemed to help a tiny bit, and the Zofran is a joke- barely works, still nauseated in waves. Was told that 'morning' sickness is typically worst in a first pregnancy... well this is my fourth & by far the worst sickness! Praying it's at it's peak...

I am 7 weeks pregnant and am at the end of my rope. I have had MS constantly since I was 4 weeks pregnant. I am sick everyday, all day and all night. I have tried so many remedies to no avail. I've read up about biobands on the internet - are these available in S.A?

I am now 11 weeks pregnant and feeling sick as a hell. I was feeling pretty good in my 10th week, but I spoke too soon. Everyone says the 2nd trimester is the best, and im realllly hoping that is true. Brushing my teeth, looking at food that i typically love to eat..all make me sick. it shall pass.

Hi ladies, I'm 13 weeks pregnant and still sick :( mine is all day sickness. week 11 was good, I didnt get sick, I thought it went away but boy was i wrong! it came back and bit me hard in week 12. the past couple days I have been puking in the morning. I could easily puke right now but I am trying my hardest to keep it down. Ive never been a big drinker, so its hard for me to drink liquids as it is, which makes me dizzy and probably more nauseous. I am hoping and praying this goes away by 14 even 15 weeks, the sooner the better. I am not good at this part of pregnancy. I hate feeling miserable.

this makes me feel so much better. im 7 weeks and am nauseas 24/7 ive lost close to 5 pounds since i became pregnant and at night i make myself throw up i feel so sick. otherwise i cant throw up.
im taking diclectin and i think its easing it a bit but im still in bed all day long and unable to take care of my 3 year old. luckily my mom and husband are helping so much.
im getting worried that not enough nutrients are getting to the baby. im unable to take my vitamin because i know its going to make me sicker. i guess i jsut need to suck it up and get it in me. im so worried. im going to see my midwife this week so hopefully she will have some suggestions.
hugs

That's great, Lynn.. perhaps there is hope after all! How long did your nausea last? Mine is also all day, from the time I get up to the time I am able to fall asleep at night, and I am getting almost no relief from any of the things that are supposed to help, like ginger, saltines, mint, B6, etc, etc...

This is my first baby. I am 13 and half weeks. I started with mild nausea around week 7, it progressed to vomiting and diarrhea around weeks 8-11. Week 12 wasn't too bad. I thought maybe I was coming out of all this misery, but the past two days I have been vomiting again. I am finding it very hard to find food to eat that doesn't make me gag. One day I like something, the next the thought of consuming it is torture. I am so tired. I hope this passes soon! Take care!
