Calling Fellow Pregnant - Morning Sickness Sufferer's!!

November 16, 2008

Hi Ladies,

I am now 14 weeks and sadly still puking my guts up, sorry of that a little too graphic. I am quite debilitated by it. I basically cant do much as I feel so nauseous and sick - tend to be sick i am and then just feel nauseous in the afternoon. I ca only eat and drink in the evenings and even then I get nervous of being sick again. Every day I wake up and pray its over but instead it just start over........

I am starting to loose hope that it is ever going to stop.

Any one else in same boat? or any one who was very sick ad it stopped after 14 weeks - share please.

Hi Hoping. I too have had extreme m/s. I went to my OB about it and he prescribed me pills for it. They are specifically for use during pregnancy. Maybe you can ask your OB to prescribe you some. They are called Diclectin 10mg. You take 1 in the am and 2 before bed and I found they work like a charm, no m/s symptoms at all since I began to take them.

Hope this helps:)

I went to 15 weeks w my last....do you eat small amounts of food? It is important to eat about evey 3 hours, like 1 or 2 crackers, so the excess bile doesnt build up. If you are nauseous, try to drink room temp sprite. Not alot, but that is my magic cure...3 or 4 ritz crackers & room temp sprite! GOOD LUCK!!

Hi Nat and MrsM - I really appreciate your responses, I cry daily with the misery of it. My dh doesn't really get it, mind you nor do I. How ca being prego make me feel ill, when every one tells prego is normal lol.

Nat - I have been prescribed cyclizine but as I puke so much in the am I cant actually ingest it, so basically I am light on the doses constantly.

I have lost 19lbs now due to no appetite and sickness, the docs don't seem any much worried so long as I can drink!I could have used losing 24lbs any how so now I look still okay.

MrsM - thats really odd that you mentioned the excess bile as that is EXACTLY what causes me to vomit. I get this feeling of severe burning in my throat and next minute or hours I will throw up. It really hurts like the devil. If I sip a drink even it will stay in my throat and you guessed it make me throw up. But in the pm I will eat something and it does help the sickness a bit but I am scared during the day and feel quite panicked by it all. Sorry for the vent, its just so hard. Did your stop dead at 15 weeks or had it been getting better or a long time? Sorry for so many questions, I am just desperate.

Thanks again.

Hunni...I was so sick at 15 weeks I passed out from not eating & dehydration. I couldnt even keep the crackers down for 2 days. after the day I passed out & 911 was called, I went home on bedrest for 2 days & it all ended! So it was rather abrupt. Ask your OB about taking a combo of Prilosec & phenergran suppositories. I was able to take both during my last pregnancy. I have taken phenegran this time! I kno suppositories seem gross, but if you can just handle it, the symps will subside. One of the things my dr said, once you have this cycle of being sick, you have to break it. Me passing out, broke it. I went home after getting IV fluids & took my meds & slept! ALot of times the burning will cause your sleep to be interupted. So that adds to the cycle too! Tired, nauseous, cranky & hormonal! NOT A GOOD COMBO! So call doc, ask for suppositories! See if he will let u take prilosec over the counter. eat very small crackers & AVOID ICED TEA! Iced tea will cause even more burning. I hope some of this helps! Try to eat toast or crackers in the AM. When are you taking your prenatals? They make me sick too!
