QUESTION:
Relieving Morning Sickness…?
I am about 5 weeks pregnant (1st pregnancy), is there any methods to help relieve Morning Sickness? All help will be greatly appreciated.

• ANSWER:
  Everybody has their own little tricks, and I’ll be glad to share mine. First you need to understand that morning sickness is often brought on by low blood sugar. What you eat and when you eat are really up to you and how you feel, but it’s important to go to bed with food in your belly and put food back in as soon as you wake up. If you always have something in your belly, you are much more likely to feel better.

  As for my tricks, I eat a high protein dinner, about 1.5 hours before bedtime. Protein is digested slowly, so it helps me to keep food in my belly all night long. When I get up, I eat fortified dry cereal, and keep a box with me at all times, so I can munch throughout the day. I then go on to eat very small meals throughout the day containing as much of the nutrition requirements as I can stomach. I also drink 1 gallon of water a day and exercise each day.

  Oh, and if something disgusts you – dont eat it. No matter if it’s all veggies. It’s better to keep your food in you than eat what you think you are supposed to eat. I’ve eaten so much worse (fatty and sweet foods) in the past 3 months than I ever did before pregnancy, but I’m eating what I want, and it’s helping the food to stay in me! Good luck and feel better!

QUESTION:
I am pregnant but I have a question about the morning sickness?
I have not went to the doctor but took at home test and they were positive but anyways what are some home remedies for relieving morning sickness. Thanks for the help.

• ANSWER:
  I would agree that saltines work well, ginger (the root) is great, or altoids makes a ginger “mint”, ginger tea or 7 up. I find that sprite is too sugary.

  You should go to the dr. Make sure you are taking prenatals. You can get those over the counter. They may make you sick, so take them at night.
  Best of luck!

QUESTION:
Tips for relieving morning sickness.?
I’m looking for tips and advise to help ease my morning sickness. I have tried ginger and those bands but they’ve not really worked. I haven’t been sick today but I feel horrid. I am so tired but I can’t lie down as this seems to make it worse. Please help.

• ANSWER:

QUESTION:
What has worked for you to relieve morning sickness?
My sister is pregnant with her first baby (Yay!). She is having terrible morning sickness, and the traditional remedies like crackers and ginger ale don’t seem to help much. I didn’t have morning sickness myself so I don’t know what to tell her. Has anyone tried anything unique that worked?

• ANSWER:
  Biobands worked wonders for me. They are just pressure point wristbands. A lot of cancer patients and soon to be mothers use them, my doctor recomended them.

QUESTION:
How to relieve morning sickness lasting 24/7 and you tryed everthing in the books?
Im 12 weeks along and i have tryed everything in the books to relieve my sickness that lasts all day and all nite!! Nothing seems to help im just wonderin if anyone had a secret to this?? I really need help its starting to become very overwhelming…..

• ANSWER:
  The most important thing right now is to stay hydrated. You really don’t want to be dehydrated, so drink as much as possible. Take small sips so as not to overwhelm your stomach. Water can sometimes hurt an empty stomach, so try ginger ale with the bubbles stirred out (carbonation can also hurt your stomach), powerade or gatorade, or juice, if you can manage it.

  If you do get dehydrated, don’t wait–go to the emergency room and get fluids intravenously. It’s not fun, but it will make you feel better and break the vicious cycle of dehydration.

  Other things that might work for you are popsicles or ices, and fruit–a lot of miserably pregnant women find that they CAN eat fruit, so try out different kinds if that appeals at all. For me, I found that I could eat (at different times) strawberries, grapefruit, and thinly sliced golden delicious apples. It was weirdly specific, but it kept me alive!

  You should try having very small “meals”–a bite of a cracker here and there when you can stomach it. A lot of people find that keeping crackers or something light next to their bed and taking a few bites before they even get out of bed in the morning. You will feel worse if your stomach is empty, so keeping food in it–even just a little bit–will help stave off the misery.

  You might also want to try adding peanut butter to your crackers. Peanut butter has protein, which will make you feel better if you can keep it down.

  If nothing else works, ask your doctor for medication like reglan or zofran to help.

  Good luck!

QUESTION:
What can I do to help relieve morning sickness?
I have tried eating saltine crackers and dry cereal and stuff like that. But nothing works, I’m nauseous all day every day. My doctor told me that I could take ginger pills, they are supposed to help relieve motion sickness. I haven’t taken them yet. I was just wondering if anyone had tried them and if they worked? Is there anything else that works?

• ANSWER:
  Saltine crackers made it worse for me, actually.

  I LIVED on ginger ale and lemon drops for 2 full months. Sometimes I would eat eggs, but usually it was just ginger ale and lemon drops.

  Once you find something that works for you, stay on it!

QUESTION:
Have you ever tried the morning sickness pill?
I was at a healthfood store a while back and I saw a pill that is supposed to help relieve morning sickness. Does anyone know if it works? I don’t remember the exact name of it sorry.

• ANSWER:
  It works like magic, ask your doctor first though to make sure it’s safe for you and baby!

QUESTION:

QUESTION:
Has anyone used Allegra or any other antihistamine to relieve morning sickness while pregnant?

I have a problem with hives and that is why I use allegra. I’m 9 weeks along and I noticed that when I’m using my allegra I don’t have nausea. This is my 4th pregnancy and I’m usually very sick. I used a different antihistamine my last pregnancy and it also stopped my nausea. I would like to know whether this has happened to other women.

• ANSWER:
  I’ve never heard of an antihistamine for anti-nausea. I used Claritin for my allergies though, and benadryl for stuffiness.

QUESTION:
Is there anything to relieve morning sickness?
It’s horrible, from the second I open my eyes till about three hours it wears off. I chew gum and it helps sometimes. Is there something, anything at all that can help?

• ANSWER:
  The main cause of morning sickness is a combination of issues related to the chemical changes your body is going through. Mix a pinch of nutmeg powder with a table spoon of gooseberry juice, and take it thrice a day. Sip little by little ginger juice mixed with honey before you get out of bed.

QUESTION:
How to relieve morning sickness??
I have been having really bad morning sickness. Does anybody know any way to alleviate the nausea. I find that most foods and even everyday smells are making me feel ill. Any feedback greatly appreciated…

• ANSWER:
  Lemon Drops! Trust me on this, I never went anywhere without Lemon Drops.

QUESTION:
What did you do to help relieve morning sickness?

• ANSWER:
  I had two types – the kind that’s brought on by something specific, and the just general kind.

  The specific thing that made me ill was anything in my mouth that ‘shouldn’t’ be there. Dentists’ fingers. Raisins in my oatmeal. Toothbrush. I just avoided textured foods I couldn’t handle, bore with the dentist, and the toothbrush thing was worst in the morning. Sad to say, I stopped brushing my teeth in the morning until that passed!

  General background nausea? For me, SOUR stuff worked like a charm. I existed on sour skittles. I sucked on key limes. Lemonade only without s ugar, t hanks. Green apples. But altoids citrusy sour ‘mints’ … stear clear of those. They made me puke, every time. don’t know w hy.

  Hope that helps you!

QUESTION:
What helped your morning sickness?
Anyone have any special tips to relieve morning sickness? any advice is greatly appreciated. thanx.

• ANSWER:
  Adding lemon wedges to my water bottle – lots of them so the water was really tart. I wouldn’t guzzle it, just take frequent small sips. And I grazed a lot on small snacks throughout the day.

QUESTION:
Do motion sickness bands really relieve morning sickness?
I am on my second pregnancy, about 10 weeks and I can barely function. I feel nauseous ALL DAY and I am dry heaving a lot (its like i cant actually throw up) I heaved so hard the other night i literally wet myself. I am so desperate and NOTHING works, but i really dont want to take medication, I want to use something natural. If anyone knows if these bands work I would love to hear about it. I have a toddler to take care of and i can barely get out of bed. Please help!

• ANSWER:
  the bands work for some people, and may not work for others.

  the only way to know is to try and find out.

  you may also ask your doctor to prescribe a medication to help.

QUESTION:
What can I do to relieve morning sickness?? I am HORRIBLY sick and I cannot do crap all day!?
I sleep and puke alllll day. What can I do to feel better??? I am 6wks 4 days!

• ANSWER:
  awww! i was going to ask the SAME question! lol.

  I am 8 weeks 5 days. My day consists of small snacks, ginger ale, sleeping, gagging, and puking.

  I just called Kaiser bc none of the regular suggestions work for me (saltines, ginger ale, small meals, keep something in your tummy, sleep, water, etc)

  I haven’t had REAL food in 2 weeks. I “snack” all day. I have a string cheese, saltines, grapes, a banana, yogurt, soup, some veggies and dip… that’s IT. It sucks!

  I was hoping the Dr could provide me a miracle Rx, but they recommended all the regular stuff, plus vitamin B6 supplements (along with pre-natal vitamins). they said start with 50mg at night before bed, if it works, you can increase the dose to 200mg.

  I’m going to try this, maybe it’ll help! Im scared to leave the house bc I puke all the time! I literally had to pull over on the side of the road on the way to work the other day. yucky yucky yucky!

QUESTION:
What’s the easiest way to relieve morning sickness?

• ANSWER:
  The best thing to do is combat it before it starts. First, don’t rush to get up in the morning. Take your time getting out of bed. Take some deep breaths and let the rest of your body get acclimated to whatever your stomcah is feeling when you wake up. Next, try eating a piece of dry toast or saltines before eating anything else. Instead of trying to drink juice or water, try ginger tea or another type of herbal tea. Make sure whatever kind you choose is caffeine free though. That might help settle your stomach. Not eating at all or trying to eat something too heavy will probably make you feel more queasy. Although it’s called morning sickness, you may find yourself getting sick or nauseous all through the day. Try to keep some crackers with you at all times.

  During my first trimester, I was sick the first 3 months. I knew that I had to stay hydrated even though I was hardly able to keep anything down. I found that drinking Gatorade in lieu of ginger ale or Sprite really helped. But don’t overdose on that either. Sports drinks have a lot sodium in them and that can cause swelling and preeclampsia. Good luck and congrats!

  Worst case is that you’ll need to go into the hospital for hydration. Try eating only jell-o, broth , juices and yogurt. No solids.

QUESTION:
what did you do to relieve nausea/morning sickness during pregnancy?
i just found out i’m pregnant. my 1st doctor’s appt isn’t until tomorrow morning so i have no idea yet how far along i am. i am DEATHLY terrified of getting sick. i literally have a phobia of vomitting myself or of anyone even thinking they may vomit. what can i do??

• ANSWER:

QUESTION:
Morning sickness?
Ok so I read all the posts and I saw that some people have had really good luck with preggie pops for relieving morning sickness. Sounds good but there isn’t anywhere where I live that sells them so I have to order them online. In the meantime does anyone know if theres anything similar or any other suggestion of something they would sell at like wal mart or somewhere similar so I could actually get a hold of it like today. I’m completely miserable I’m nausious all day and I don’t know that I can wait until i could get something by mail. My partner works 12 hour shifts on the weekend so I’m home with a 2 1/2 year old who doesnt understand what’s going on and I haven’t found anything that has worked so far. Any suggestions would be great.

• ANSWER:
  ASK YOU DR FOR DICLECTIN IF YOU HAVE NAST MORNIG SICKNESS………it is the best thing ever invented you take 2 before you go to bed and the morning is usually pretty damn good…safe for baby and good for mommy…..i took my last one thursday and i think i hit the 3 month mark and most of the sickness is gone now i am feelin good..there is no need to suffer when u can fix it

QUESTION:
Popsicles to cure morning sickness?
Has anybody tried eating popsicles to relieve morning sickness? Does it really work?

• ANSWER:
  Lemon popsicles work the best. Something in the lemon makes it work better than regular popsicles. And the sugar helps calm the stomach. That is why they say to drink flat soda when you have the stomach flu. I bought some anti-nausea medicine for my kids and I noticed the ingredients was just sugar.

QUESTION:
Are there any ways to relieve or reduce morning sickness?
Both my sisters are pregnant and I hate the thought of them being in pain

• ANSWER:
  I hear GINGER SNAPS work real well. Also, there are some prenatal vitamins that can reduce it. What a nice sister!

QUESTION:
Is there anything I can do to relieve morning sickness?

• ANSWER:
  Eat small meals throughout the day if you can stand it – even have your partner bring you food in bed before you get up – a rice cake or something. Ensure you get enough rest. And take a B-complex vitamin – studies have shown B-vitamin can really reduce morning sickness – I know it helped for me. Also a small amount of ginger steeped in hot water can help.

  If your morning sickness is really bad and you are losing weight, ask your doctor about taking a prescription medicine that’s safe in pregnancy.

  The iron in prenatal vitamins can make you feel sick, so consider taking them at night after dinner instead of in the morning.

  Avoid Gravol and other over-the-counter remedies for nausea.

QUESTION:
Will Gingerale help relieve my morning sickness?
Lots of people have said ginger helps so would gingerale help? Im 8 weeks with my first and have a full time job and feel terrible all day long and I know i need to eat but nothing sounds good most of the time!!!!

• ANSWER:
  It may,but from my experience. It didn’t help. What helped me was eating small light meals. Nothing heavy,greasy or spicy. Things like toast,crackers,small bowl of oatmeal. Meals mainly consisting of carbs. Although I found that french fries helped me some. I’m convinced it was the salt on the fries that actually helped.

  For now,just eat what you can. Once you are past this icky part. You’ll be able to eat better like you need to.

QUESTION:
Does anyone know of any methods to relieve morning sickness? Help I’m pregnant and sick of throwing up!?

• ANSWER:
  Hi sweetheart. If you’ve tried all the non-medication remedies like crackers, ginger etc I have a few suggestions of things you can take. Be sure to clear it with your doctor before you do anything though. First of all you can try Unisom sleep melts 25 mg (same active ingredient as benadryl so you can take 25 mg of that instead) and Vitamin B6. Weird combination, but it did work for me briefly. After my morning sickness got worse, my doctor prescribed me Phenergan anti-nausea medication. Works like a charm and it helps me sleep which is nice on those insomniac nights. Your doc might also prescribe you Zofran. Good luck I know it sucks!!!

QUESTION:
Helping relieve morning sickness by eating apples?
Ok, my husband is driving me crazy, first of all he is a massive nag and secondly he is a big fat know-it-all. lol, ranting. But I when I grew up and I had a rough tummy when I was sick, my Mother would cut me up some apple. She said that if my tummy was rough, to stay away from dairy, citrus fruits, bananas, and anything with a too overpowering a flavour. To stick with simple flavours, even go with bland foods. I have always had apple when I have been sick, preferably green apple as long as its not too sour, and I’ve never had a problem. I am currently pregnant and for the first two months all I could eat was apples and bread because I felt so sick. In fact as soon as I ate one I immediately felt better, which I think is due to the natural sugar…ie energy boost, and that I believe its soft on your tum. But he nags me all the time saying apples are too hard a food for when your tummy is rough, where does he pull this stuff from, I think he makes it up as he go along!

lol, ranting.

So what did you ladies eat whilst you had bad bouts of morning sickness? And do you agree with me about the apples?

• ANSWER:
  It honestly depends on the person. With my morning sickness all I could stand to eat that didn’t make me sick where potatoes, ice cream, and smoothies. Since you grew up eating apples when you weren’t feeling good, your system is used to that and it acts as a comfort food to you. As long as the apples aren’t making you more sick but making you feel better, stick with them. Your husband probably heard growing up that you shouldn’t eat apples on an upset stomach or heard that eating too many can make you sick. Tell him you appreciate his concern for you and the baby, but the apples are helping you and not making it worse. Like I said before, what works for someone may not work for another but the apples are working for you so keep munching them. Plus they are good for you and the baby.

QUESTION:
Morning sickness – How can i relieve it?
Im 6 and a half weeks pregnant and im starting to get morning sickness, well more nausea. And its constant.

Is there anything i can do to help ease it?

Also i dont like ginger or ginger biscuits, they make it worse lol.

I get sick if i dont eat, then i get worse if i do eat.

• ANSWER:
  I just finished reading the morning sickness companion and it really helped a lot. Try to always have something in your stomatch and always carry food with you where ever you go. I have been carring crackers, nutigrain bars, and some fruit with me plus a drink like sprite everywhere. Just munch on the crackers throughout the day and try not to ever let your stomatch get empty. I know it’s easier said than done but it does help. You have to experiment with different things that will help you feel better. For some it’s Ginger and others it’s oranges. You should really read that book though. It has some great advise. Good luck and congrats on your pregnancy!!!

QUESTION:
pregnant what can i do about morning sickness when it’s all day?
I feel so nauseaus all day what can i do to relieve the morning sickness and the food cravings

• ANSWER:
  I used sea bands. They’re in the motion sickness isle and they work by a pressure point. I didn’t have morning sickness too bad, but my sister in law did and she wore them 24-7 and swore by them. She had some of the promethezine too. It comes in a suppository form also if you have trouble keeping the pill down. The food cravings, good luck with that. I’ve been having them for over three years now. I’ve been pregnant and/or breastfeeding forever now. My youngest was just born on the third so I’ve got some time to go still. Good luck!!

QUESTION:
Have any advise on morning sickness relieve?
I am 12 wks pregnant with my 2nd and have the worse morning sickness. I’m throwing up almost everyday. I ended up in the emergency room once for dehydrations. They gave me some pills and said to take them if I can’t keep anything in for over 12 hours. I’m only throwing up once a day so I’m not taking them. I would like to try all natural things first.
Those ginger candies make me sooo sick, tea seems to help a little.
Anything work with you ladies? I am desperate here. I was sick with my DD for almost half my pregnancy and am already 12 wks with this one and showing no sign of easing up anytime soon.

• ANSWER:

QUESTION:
Morning sickness advice please?
My fiancee is thought to be just gone 10 weeks pregnant and she’s experiencing really bad nausea. She is really finding it hard to eat anything and it is worrying me. She feels like this through out the day.
Can anyone please give me some advice which could relieve this morning sickness?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks

• ANSWER:
  Morning sickness can’t necessarily be relieved but it can be helped a little. She should eat bland foods, soups, crackers, drink gingerale and eat smaller meals more often. If she can’t even do that, she should talk to her doctor. If it is too severe her doctor can prescribe her an anti-nausea medication which is perfectly safe during pregnancy.

QUESTION:
Morning sickness remedies?
This is my second pregnancy and I am having morning sickness once again, at least not as severe as the first time. But this time it’s a little harder to deal with since I have a daughter who is very concerned about me every time I go running to the bathroom. I also provide childcare in my home now and I can’t be running to the bathroom every few minutes when Ive got little one running around. Please Help!!! I will do anything to relieve my morning sickness!!

• ANSWER:
  Ginger never worked for me. Never letting my stomach get empty DID. I always kept something in my stomach, usually saltines. I also took Vitamin B6 and Unisom (totally safe) which helped immensely! Being that you watch children during the day take it in the evening it helps A LOT! I suffered with severe morning sickness for the first 4 months of my pregnancy.

QUESTION:
Any suggestions for morning sickness relief?
Does anyone have any ideas I can try to relieve my morning sickness? I haven’t been able to hold anything down for 2 days. Not even chicken broth and saltines! Then I get even more nauseous from being hungry! I’ve been having morning sickness for 3 weeks now, but it’s progressively getting worse so that I can’t eat all day. Thank you!
Well I definately agree that I’m way beyond the crackers! lol I tried eating the saltines before getting out of bed. I tried regular bread, dry toast, ginger ale, 7 Up, and my last resort was chicken broth. That has also failed miserably. That was only thing that worked with my first pregnancy. Since it’s not working this time I’m desparate. Thank you for all of your suggestions. I will definately be looking into the sea bands to see if those help. Dr. for last resort. Thanks again.

• ANSWER:

  Well honey I feel your pain! Forget the crackers you are to far gone for that. The first thing you shoul try is ginger ail, ginger root tablets, ginger snap cookies, and if that does not sooth you stomach try taking vitamin b, those are some remidies the doctor will try before giving you perscription pills. When I was 5 weeks prego I started feeling sick. Week after week it got worse. I went for days without holding anything down. I went to the doctor and in two weeks I lost 22 lbs! I was put in the hospital on fluids. I was diagnosed with hyperemesis. Only one in 200 get it and I was that lucky on. It seem like you may have it. You need to go to the doctor and let them check you urine for key tones. If there are key tones in your urine you are dehydrated. They will most likely give you fluids and give you phenergin a anti nausia med. It will make you very tired! If that does not work go back to the doctor and they will give you zofran. That is a much stronger med that they give chemo patients and it works wonders. It is safe for you and the baby. Oh and ask for some nexium it desolves your food faster so it wont sit in your stomach all day making you sick. I hope this helps and good luck!

QUESTION:
Morning Sickness (any home remedies or tips to relieve it)?
My cousin is laying on the floor right now (she just plopped down where she was playing with the twins) overcome with a bought of queasiness. I feel sympathetic because her morning sickness is pretty bad (she’s 9 weeks pregnant). Is there anything I can give her or do for her to relieve it?

• ANSWER:
  “Drink ginger tea for morning sickness? That’s just an old wives’ tale.” True, an old wife is likely to tell you to drink ginger tea, but consider this…those old wives had probably morning sickness themselves!

  The bad news is that the nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy, commonly called morning sickness, affects about half of all pregnant women. The good news is that there are many remedies to try and if one of them doesn’t work for you, very likely another one will. If all else fails, just hang on to the fact that most women are finished with morning sickness by the beginning of their fourth month.

  We’ve collected a whole variety of the various home remedies that may help with soothing your morning sickness. There is bound to be something here to help no matter whether your morning sickness consists of a little morning nausea or the all day eat and throw up variety. However, be sure to contact your caregiver if the nausea and vomiting becomes unbearable or causes you to lose weight.

  Ø Get plenty of rest.

  Ø Chew your food thoroughly.

  Ø Make sure your stomach is never completely empty. Carry fruit, cheese and/or crackers around with you to nibble on throughout the day.

  Ø Keep a snack by the bed for when you get up during the night to visit the bathroom or soothe one of the kids.

  Ø Also keep a snack by the bed to eat before you lift your head from the pillow in the morning. Then, get up slowly.

  Ø Eat a high protein snack before bed at night.

  Ø Eat a diet high in carbohydrates and protein, low in fats.

  Ø Eat salty, crunchy foods.

  Ø Sniff a fresh lemon peel.

QUESTION:
Does ginger relieve “morning sickness” during pregnancy??

• ANSWER:
  Ginger is good for nausea, but too much can cause miscarriage. More information at this webpage-

QUESTION:
can morning sickness return later in pregnancy?
i was sick as a dog for 3 months straight. it went away and i was so relieved and now i am 23 weeks and it seems to be coming back.. would it be morning sickness this far in? even though its gone away already?

this is my 2nd pregnancy and with my first i was sick for 3 months and it never came back..

help?

• ANSWER:
  Yeah unfortunetly morning sickness can rear it’s head at anytime during the pregnancy. I had it loads at the beginning and now have it on and off even had some this morning at 38 weeks though definetly has been more occassionaly now.

  Good luck!!!

QUESTION:
I’m pregnant, about 11 weeks. I have all-day morning sickness everyday. What can I do to help relieve it?
I’ve tried Preggies Pops and Ginger candy but they don’t even help one bit. It actually makes the nausea worse and I’d be in the bathroom. What can I do to relieve it? Thank you so much for your time.

• ANSWER:
  Try the wrist bands you get for travel sickness – they really can help.
  Also, ginger is a great help, but not really as candy. I would try making an infusion of ginger, i.e. buy some real root ginger, grate a little and pour boiling water over it to let it infuse. You can then strain it and drink it either hot/warm or even iced.
  Nibble on plain ginger biscuits or even dry cream crackers or toast – that will help get rid of the acidity in your stomach.
  You will get over it, but it is horrible while it lasts – you have my sympathies. If you want to know for real, it took me until about 20 weeks to stop feeling nauseous.
  Good luck with it all though!

QUESTION:
Seriously, what is up with my morning sickness only causing nausea?
I feel nauseated constantly… to the point where throwing up would actually probably feel relieving. My gosh, I’ve nearly had it with this. All food looks disgusting, I never feel like eating, I hate cooking, whatever I do eat I regret it right away… any tips at all???

• ANSWER:
  Be glad you aren’t vomiting. I vomited for 3 months straight and lost 24 lbs. When I would start vomiting I would keep going with dry heaves for up to an hour and eventually stop when bile would come up. I would much rather just have nausea!

  Eat what sounds good to you. If you live on peaches and crackers and water for a couple months you will be fine. Don’t worry about cooking fancy things or eating balanced, just try to get something down every day.

QUESTION:
what can i do to relieve the symptoms of morning sickness?
I’m only six weeks and I’ve had morning sickness since the five week mark… I haven’t thrown up, but all day (not to mention night) I feel like I’m on the verge. Sometimes I wish I would, just to feel some kind of relief!

I don’t do anything because of this morning sickness! That and exhaustion. Like, if I go anywhere, I don’t even bother to get ready… Which is very unlike myself! I’m usually one of those girls who takes like two hours to get ready lol

Crackers don’t help and I haven’t really tried anything else. I don’t know if I can take this for another six weeks if not longer!

• ANSWER:
  In my opinion, no home remedies work- nada! You can try all of the common things that people suggest, but in the end, you just have to suffer through it unless you want to take medication.

  My Dr. prescribed me Zofran, which apparently a lot of pregnant women take who are very sick. It worked wonders for me. You can take one pill twice a day, I only needed to take it once a day b/c it seemed to last all day. I know others who have taken it too and they have perfectly healthy babies. It’s pregnancy category B.

  I don’t promote taking prescription meds during pregnancy, unless the benefit out weighs the risk (if any). This was a life saver and my overall health improved which was better for my baby. I could eat, sleep better, take my pre-natals, none of which I could do with out it b/c I felt so lousy. It really made a world of difference. good luck.

  PS: You will feel much better by week 13 or so, most women do.

QUESTION:
How can I relieve this sickness?
Some say it’s morning sickness, but I think it’s food poisoning. I ate something yesterday and it probably is the cause of my vomiting and sleeplessness. I can’t keep anything down, not even ginger ale. I can’t get out of bed because then I feel more dizzy and nauseous. Your ideas? I’m 8 weeks pregnant and have my first prenatal visit next week. This is also my second pregnancy.

• ANSWER:
  Pregnancy can cause both of those symptoms, but what I can suggest is calling your OB, telling them what’s going on, then see if they can put you on Premesis, it’s a prenatal vitamin with slow-release B6, to curb your nausea and vomiting. If you can’t get to the OB to get a prescription for this, my OB suggested to take half of a 25 mg tab of B6 every 12 hours. You probably want to stay away from anything fizzy, I have found it upsets my stomach even more. And start by eating dry toast and/or saltine crackers to absorb any acidity in your stomach. Only drink water for now, hydration is key in pregnancy.

  Also, one thing that can help is Sea Bands or Psi Bands-they are accupressure bands that you wear that curb nausea! You can buy them online at www.morningsicknesshelp.com

  Be careful, call the doctor just to be safe. Good luck.

QUESTION:
When EXACTLY did your morning sickness start?
How did it begin? mild or severe? any tricks to relieve the nausea?

THANK YOU =]=]

• ANSWER:
  I started to get sick 5 days after conceiving lol lucky me. It was somewhat severe. I mostly just gagged though but hardly actually threw up. I noticed that most of the time I was nauseas when I was hungry but the problem was nothing tasted good and I was turned off by the thought of food. I started drinking gaterade which helped and lots of fruit ice pops. Also, bread always made me feel better so I ate bagels a lot. Many people put saltines by their bed so that when they wake up they have something to nibble on. Good Luck and congrats.

whats something i can do to reduce morning sickness? Really needing some advice please…?
I’ve been experiencing some morning sickness early in the morning with some vomiting and on and off through the afternoon, til a point to i cant stand it anymore, what can i do to help relieve it???
my dr. told me about emitrol…does this work good??

• ANSWER:
  Ginger candies or tea is supposed to help. Personally, the home remedies didn’t really work for me. After a certain point in the pregnancy they can prescribe medications for nausea and that was a lifesaver for me. So if it gets really bad talk to your doctor and get some help.

QUESTION:
whats the best thing to relieve sickness?
Its only been three days and im already fed up of it, i cant eat anything without it making me want to throw up. Please can someone help, what helped you with morning sickness? i had it bad with my first pregnancy, and ginger helped, but its so discusting, i want to find something else

• ANSWER:
  Don’t let your stomach get empty. even if you just eat a cracker every couple of hours. Eat small meals 6 times a day rather than 3 larger ones a day. Try drinking ice water with fresh lemon it helps your stomach. I find ginger ale worked for me cause of the carbonation. Burping helped.

  Their is also medication your can get from your doctor (Diclectin) it is 100% safe. All it is is vitamin b6 and an antihistamine. You can take it 3 times a day thoughout your entire pregnancy if needed. Most only need it for the first trimester though.

QUESTION:
my morning sickness is so bad that….
i feel like im wasting away i cant eat properly i cant go out and do anything it lasts all day its sickenning and physically exhausting i can hardly move from the bedroom. i feel like my health is deteriorating what can i do to keep myself healthy during this time. nothing i try helps relieve the sickness i just want tips on how to keep up some health

• ANSWER:
  Ginger ale or ginger snaps might help, but if it really is as bad as you describe you could talk to your doctor. You might need a prescription anti-nausea drug. My morning sickness wasn’t unbearable, but I had to nibble all day on ginger snaps or saltine crackers just to keep from throwing up. The old wives tale says that the worse the morning sickness, the better the pregnancy “took.” And “morning” sickness is soo inaccurate as mine was all day. On the bright side, most women only have morning sickness for the first trimester. My stopped around 13-14 weeks.

QUESTION:
Friend has REALLY bad morning sickness?
My best friend is about 8 weeks pregnant and has been SUPER sick, it seems like she can’t hold anything down and everything triggers her sickness….I feel really bad for her because even though I’m pregnant (27 weeks) I haven’t had any sickness so I don’t know how to help her…..so I’m coming to you ladies for advice …..what can she do to help relieve her sickness?
I dont think she has a good doctor because they havent even bothered trying to get her in until July 1st!!! She called like a month ago….I just keep thinking that it could’ve been an ectopic pregnancy and she would’ve never known becasue her doctor is going to be bothered with her until she’s like 12 weeks….

• ANSWER:
  There is no sure way to stop it. I even tried pills the doctor gave me and they didn’t work. I could only hold down water, if your friend isn’t even managing that she needs to go to the hospital. I was so sick up until I was 21 weeks that I lost 28lbs.

QUESTION:
Hey what can i take for morning sickness? I feel really dizzy and cannot handle smell of food?
Especially cooked food. My morning sickness goes on for the entire day, not just “morning”. Any natural remedies? or anything to take for it? Im still working and its making it very hard.

• ANSWER:
  well, the one thing I know is keep saltine crackers by your bed. When you first wake up (before you move) eat a few crackers. Wait a few minutes and rise slowly. Feel better. That is a bummer. But it will pass. I heard that morning sickness is a sign of a healthy baby!

QUESTION:
How early could you get morning sickness and food cravings?
If I am pregnant, I would be about 3 weeks.

I get it worse towards late evening.
And about the food craving thing, it is hard to tell.
But I normally do not like milk,
and I drank 3 pints in the past two days.
I don’t know if I am just driving myself crazy or what, but there is def. a good chance for pregnancy,
I am just wondering if these are early symptoms?
Serious answers only.
Please and Thank You!

• ANSWER:
  If you are pregnant, here is a list of pregnancy symptoms you might experienced before you missed your period:

  1.Implantation Bleeding:
  Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.

  2.Swollen/Tender Breasts:
  Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.

  3.Fatigue/Tiredness:
  Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.

  4.Nausea/Morning Sickness:
  This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.

  5.Backaches:
  Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.

  6.Headaches:
  The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.

  If you are pregnant, here is another list of pregnancy symptoms you might experienced after you had missed your period:

  1. Frequent Urination:
  Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.

  2.Darkening of Areolas:
  If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.

  3.Food Cravings:
  While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.

• ANSWER:
  Good morning dear! I started my morning sickness with my son at about 3 weeks and my cravings at 4 weeks or so. I just wanted dairy all of the time like cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. I normally can’ t tolerate dairy. But during pregnancy I can. It’s strange. With my daughter morning sickness started right away and I know i was pregnant with her before i even got a positive test back. But I didn’t craving anything with her until’ I was 6 or 7 weeks. All I wanted then was cheerios. Best of luck! Hope this was helpful

• ANSWER:
  You shouldnt eat anything greasy!

  things like pasta
  bread
  ginger snap cookies
  crackers
  Update **
  Cut your meals down and do snacks between meals
  Snacks like fruit, cheese & crackers, yogurt.

  ginger ale
  and herbal ginger tea (no caffine )
  Works
  There are also preggie pops that are sooo good that help with morning sickness!
  lemon works as well
  put fresh clean lemons in fresh water and drink
  drink tart lemonade
  with something a little salty at the same time!
  I did cucumbers with lemon and tiny bit of salt

  food with higher carbs work like I mentioned Pasta, mashed potatoes, rice

  also remember to eat a little something, not eating or keeping hydrated makes you sick too!!

QUESTION:
Morning Sickness~ with my first two pregnancies i had morning sickness where i would vomit food sometimes?
and stomach acid other times. my morning sickness lasted from 7 weeks to 16 weeks. this pregnancy i havent vomited any food but from weeks 7-9 i woke up every day and vomited stomach acid.i am now 10 weeks pregnant and havent had morning sickness in a week. do you think i may have had a misscarriage? my next appt isnt tll oct 18th. i still have to pee alot but smells doesnt bother me like they did. What do you think?

• ANSWER:

QUESTION:
Morning sickness and food aversion?
I’m 7 weeks and my morning sickness just hit me on Wednesday. Since then I haven’t been able to keep anything down. Saltines, gingerale, chips, light sandwiches, cereal, oatmeal, anything. It always comes right back up. I’m trying to rack my brain for ideas on what to eat that will hopefully sit in my stomach but the thought of eating any foods just seem nauseating…

Any advice?

• ANSWER:
  I’ve heard of people keeping lemons near them and sniffing them when nauseous. I used lemonade and it worked. I also started to drink carnation instant breakfast or chocolate milk because I could keep it down and it had protein so I wasn’t starving.

  I am not usually holistic, but I used sea-bands the whole time i was nauseous, and they really worked…they provide accupressure in a spot that controls nausea for people with sea sickness, but they work well for some people in pregnancy. I still threw up everytime I brushed my teeth, but I could keep down my lunch and dinner…

  Make sure you’re not losing too much weight, some is totally normal, and try to stay as hydrated as possible….

  Good luck…and for most people, this passes around 12weeks…

  ps I found that I could not take my Prenatal in the morning…I took it with lunch because it made me sick. And I actually kept gingerale, covered, and saltines or gingersnaps by my bed at night and sipped and snacked before sitting up fully and it seemed to help a little bit

QUESTION:
What is the best food to eat with morning sickness?

what’s the best thing to eat.
I don’t like fish or anything fishy.
thankyouu x

• ANSWER:
  who do you think you are? miss high and mighty on your pedestal up there….
  i DO NOT take advice from people who are 9 weeks pregnant!! like you have a right to tell me only responsible people who have been to school are able to be good mothers…. oh love, you have a rude awakening coming your way, in about 31 weeks. if you don’t miscarry before then, that is…
  most people have enough smarts about them, to not announce a ‘successful, viable’ pregnancy until after the crucial 12 weeks has passed.
  and to be passing judgment like you did!? LMAO!! you are inexperienced, and stupid

QUESTION:
Work around food, morning sickness?
I work in a bakery. And I am about 7 1/2-8 weeks pregnant, and have been experiencing morning sickness. Mostly when I have to wake up early, like today I had to work at 6 am, and it seems to upset my stomach more. At work I found myself having extreme nausea and throwing up twice at work. I guess my question is, do you think I should be at work if I am throwing up? I mean I know its not from the flu, so there isn’t any sickness germs to worry about after returning and being around the food..but still it seems gross to me?..and its very uncomfortable throwing up in a public bathroom if people are coming in and out of stalls around me.

• ANSWER:
  As long as you’re washing your hands etc. you’re not “contagious” as you said, but yes it can be uncomfortable if all that is available is a public restroom!
  You could see if working a later schedule is an option; or try some other tricks to curb your nausea such as:
  eat a small amount before you even get out of bed
  eat regularly – at least every two hours – but just a small amount
  drink plenty of water
  try sea bands or another pressure point/accupressure wrist band or ear clamp

QUESTION:

QUESTION:
Does morning sickness feel like your food is in your throat?
It has been six years since I was pregnant, so I don’t remember exactly.
I have had it for about 5 days, I rarely get heartburn.
Hey dummy, if I didn’t swallow my food I think I would notice it in my mouth. Some people are stupid.

• ANSWER:
  That varies…if you are gagging, it is very possible that the food has went from your stomach up into your throat. Morning sickness can be anything from throwing up when you put a toothbrush in your mouth to being sensitive to smells and throwing up…I am 5 months pregnant and have experienced it all the way through so far, lucky, eh? Look up Morning Sickness (which can be experienced at ANY time of the day) on epregnancy.com or on a search engine such as yahoo or google

QUESTION:
Morning Sickness and Food problem at 7ish Weeks?
I have a quick kinda silly question about morning sickness.

So every morning/afternoon I feel really sick and like i’m exhausted and I just feel like crap but I’ve never actually been sick just the feeling like I could be is there, is that morning sickness?

and I also have a really hard time eating, like I’ll be hungry and then like eat and three bites later I feel like I can’t even look at food! Its horrible is that normal?

And is there anything I can do to like help these?

Thanks in advance =)
oh okay so constipation is normal too, sorry i honestly have no idea if anything that is going on is normal right now, so that you for adding that I’m 16 and uneducated about this, I can honestly say, so if anyone else would like to add any thing that may happen to me, so I don’t freak out that would be appriciated

• ANSWER:
  Yup. that’s morning sickness. It can last all day

  Morning sickness can plateau at your 2nd trimester but its not unusual for it to last until the delivery.

  Do Not Take Any medication your doctor has not said was okay. Some people think it’s okay just to take whatever and expect it not to have any dangers on the baby, and this is not the case!

  To help out your stomach, your doctor can prescribe you something called Diatrin, Dialatron? Something like that. It is okay for the baby and you can take it as you need it, without going over 4 pills in a 24 hour time period. I’ve been using it and it is great!

  When it comes to foods, it is also normal for you to suddenly hate foods you’ve always loved, and love foods you’ve always hated! If your not taking a prenatal vitamin, its very important that your still eating. Experiment with foods and what stays down the best. Usually hot foods, peppers and onions are bad for the stomach.

  If you find your constipated (which happens to alot of us pregos) try to eat a lot of fruit.

  Good luck!

QUESTION:
Morning sickness or Food poisoning?
Ok, I am 16 and having a pregnancy scare… But I also had some disgusting food last night. If I am pregnant, I am 1-9 weeks pregnant. This is my first time throwing up in a while. I threw up only a little bit, and actually little chunks of that bad food came out. And after I threw up, I felt perfectly fine. It was around 1am, if that helps. I still feel perfectly fine. It was sudden nasuea too, barely any warning. I need help!!! Would this be food poisoning or morning sickness?
(Also, I cannot get ahold of a pregnancy test any time soon, so that is out of the question)

• ANSWER:
  The one time I had food poisoning I not only vomited for hours on end, but I also had diarrhea. It was so bad that I had to go to the hospital for dehydration. I strongly recommend that you get a pregnancy test ASAP. There may be places in your area that test for free, such as Planned Parenthood.

QUESTION:
ok morning sickness, food aversion, low back ache for 21/2wks?
i have 9 negitive prego test.. do yall think i am or not?

• ANSWER:
  well the tests say no. but depending on whether or not you are testing to early or not may be a better question. you can always go to the doc and get checked out if you are concerned.some women don’t always accure enough of the HcG hormone prior to their missed peirod so this might be your case. good luck

QUESTION:
When some girls are pregnant, do they get morning sickness? And when do they start to get morning sickness?
Some people don’t get morning sickness, only food cravings, but I have a twin sister..who was pregnent, and had morning sickness, so if I were pregnant, would I get the same thing as her, or what? But when do they normally start to get the sickness?

• ANSWER:
  You usually start to feel sick any where from 4 weeks and up. Just because she felt that way doesn’t mean you will. Everyone is different and every time is different. Some woman skip the sickness all together or won’t experience it until they are almost due.
  Sorry there is just no way to predict something like that.

QUESTION:
If you have been pregnant, what was or is your fav. morning sickness food?

cravings..

• ANSWER:
  Milkshake…
  chocolate mint.
  It helped with stomach acidity!

  But if my stomach was ok, then I went mad on fruit salad and orange and passionfruit juice.

QUESTION:
whats the difference between food poisoning and morning sickness?
be specific.
feeling wise, not by definition.

• ANSWER:
  food poisoning is the contamination of uncooked or insufficiently cooked foods, by a harmful bacteria or virus. it especially happens in meats and eggs.
  morning sickness comes from being pregnant, and the horomones creating a feeling of nausea that happens most often in the morning, of course.
  and as for the feeling, morning sickness might be a little less intense than food poisoning, depending on what exactly you ate and how much of it you ate.
  its difficult to tell as everyone has different reactions to horomones and food.

QUESTION:
Is it normal not to throw up food with morning sickness? I’ve been throwing up just clear fluids, no food.?

• ANSWER:

QUESTION:
Pregnancy food aversions/morning sickness?
I’m 14 weeks pregnant & was very curious to know how cravings changed throughout pregnancy in others. I’m practically living off Patio brand bean & cheese burritos and sweet tea–my only steady cravings.

Don’t get me wrong, I definitely try to include as many fruits & vegetables as I crave, drink plenty of water (the only other thing I can drink besides tea!), take vitamins daily, and make a conscious effort not to overindulge in fast foods (which I can barely eat, anyway)/make an effort to try different foods in attempts to find something healthier (which never works, as I become sick seconds after swallowing the food, if it makes it down).

I can’t stomach beef, eggs, or, sometimes, even milk. Morning sickness was horrible from week 6, when I had to make a trip to the hospital for weight loss & dehydration–excessive vomiting of >15 times daily. I was given Phenergan (that took me back to sickness 2-3 times daily), and the sickness finally began to die down around week 11. But I’m still having major aversions and really have to be cautious, as I still get nauseous every day.

As far as the aversions are concerned, did yours change throughout pregnancy? Do you remember when this happened for you? Did your aversions change with a change in your morning sickness?

(I have spoken to my doctor about the nutrition concerns. I’m strictly looking for the experiences of others concerning the aversions/sickness.)

• ANSWER:
  I’m 12 weeks, and up until the past week or so I couldn’t stand meat of any kind. Also smells of bacon, strong air fresheners, or gasoline made me soooo sick. I only had a little bit of queasiness, and only vomited twice because I smelled something nasty, started coughing, started gagging…and you know the rest lol. But now hopefully all those weird things are behind me. I can eat meats now but I don’t care for some smells. I was told not to worry about the aversions and cravings because it was normal, and to eat what you crave, don’t try to make yourself eat something differently b/c it might make you sick!! Good luck!! I hope things get better for you from now on!!!

QUESTION:
Does morning sickness feel like food poisoning? Does the sick and nausea feeling stop when you throw up?

• ANSWER:
  This is a good question.

  The first doctor talks about how you can avoid morning sickness – like how having a cracker or two the moment you make up can make your stomach more stable, and may help you avoid nausea like this. That video is here:

  http://pregnancy.healthguru.com/content/video/watch/100006/Sidestep_Morning_Sickness?YAFT

  The second doctor’s video is more about how to get rid of morning sickness once it starts to affect you, which might also be useful information. You can watch that video here:

QUESTION:
What kinds of food do you eat while going through morning sickness?
I have been feeling sick off and on all day. Nothing sounds good to me. I can’t find one thing that I want to eat. Anyone have any ideas.

• ANSWER:
  I understand what you are going through, but I will tell you one thing even if nothing sounds good eat something. In my first pregnancy I felt so sick all the time and didnt want to eat anything that when I finally did eat something it just came back up, I ended up losing my baby. If you really dont feel like eating anything at least drink water to keep hydrated. Here are some things you can try, crackers, preztles, dry cereal, anything that sits in your stomach lightly.

QUESTION:
Morning Sickness remedies (non-food)?
I’m 6 weeks pregnant with my second child and the morning sickness is kicking in with a vengance. I’ve read all the usual ginger, eat before getting up etc, but these don’t work for me, I can stomach anything. With my first child my doctor prescribed me anti-sickness tablets but before I go down this road again, does anyone know of any over the counter medicines or non-food methods? I’ve heard that travel sickness wrist bands can help, has anyone tried this?

QUESTION:

like tablets etc is there anything a doctor can give for morning sickness
or is there anything you can buy from the shops !!
and if so are they any good and what do they actually do !!
i just hate morning sickness and its frustrating !!

please help

• ANSWER:
  because every pregnancy is different, you may need to try a few things to see which works for you, but you should be able to find some relief from one of the many recommended remedies.

  there are some medications, but they are quite pricey and the drowsy side-effect can be unbearable if you need to be awake/alert for work or caring for other children.

  organic ginger-lemon tonic saved my life during my first pregnancy. it is a syrup-type liquid that can be taken alone or mixed with tea, tonic water, etc. i just took a big swig whenever i felt ill, and it completely curbed any nausea.

  much to my dismay, the tonic has been completely unhelpful during this pregnancy. i was so excited to be cured of my extreme all-day sickness, but i just threw the tonic up like everything else. i tried everything from saltines, to waking up slowly, to changing my diet. in the end, the only thing that helped was eating CONSTANTLY. it was hard at first because i felt so sick, but i just started eating anything that i could stomach the thought of and NEVER let myself get hungry. it felt a bit unnaturaly, eating unhealthy things, eating at least every hour, but after about 2 weeks, i had the nausea under control.

  i’ve since heard that “morning sickness” is a common result of hunger, so the key is just to keep your belly full. don’t feel guilty if you can only not-so healthy things at first; it will get better. i was only able to eat mcdonald’s breakfast sandwiches, and other yucky fast food items, and i gorged myself on them to deter hunger/nausea. i was terrified about the amount of weight i might be gaining in only the first trimester, but once the nausea was under control, i was able to start incorporating healthier items, and now i’m back to eating normally. i did not end up putting on any weight at all.

  congrats and good luck on your seach for morning sickness relief

QUESTION:
Most food/drinks make me feel sick but i have no morning sickness?
I can’t even think about or see any form of fizzy drink. I can’t consume or even look at any food that I had during my bout of morning sickness at week 6.

What is wrong with me? I’m now over 10 weeks pregnant and still gag at the thoughts or seeing these food items.

• ANSWER:
  i wish there was an answer to this im in the same situation, except ive never had actual morning sickness. just the thought of certain foods make my stomach turn. ive heard some people say that when they throw up while pregnant from a certain food, they can never eat it again. theres nothing wrong with you, i think it happens to a lot of pregnant women.

QUESTION:
Morning sickness, flu, or food poisoning? 19 weeks pregnant?
Ever since yesterday morning, I haven’t been able to keep anything down. Yesterday evening is when things got worse — no matter how much BILE I’ve thrown up, I’ve still managed to have a sour stomach. I woke up this morning feeling okay so I had my fiance go get some breakfast, since my stomach was empty from throwing up so much. 15 minutes after I ate, everything came up AGAIN! Every time I have had the flu, it only lasted half a day. I only had morning sickness during the early stages of my pregnancy, and it wasn’t ever bad. I’ve never had food poisoning before. What could this be? Also, how can I keep myself hydrated and will my baby be okay? I feel like I’m dying right now, but my baby is more important and I want to know if, aside from all this, that he is okay.

• ANSWER:
  I had gastro when I was 27 weeks pregnant with my twins – I wanted to die!!!

  For 24 hours, stick with water and dry toast. Your baby will be fine

QUESTION:
Is it morning sickness or the food poisoning?
Yesterday morning, I woke up slightly nauseous. Once I drank a little tea and walked around a little, I was fine. This morning, at 5am I was awakened by a roiling in my tummy and was running to the bathroom to puke. Since then, I’ve puked again, but only once. After I vomited, I became very tired and have slept for about 4 hours. My husband thinks I may have food poisoning, but I wonder. We haven’t been trying for a baby, but then we haven’t been careful either. I wonder if anyone can tell me which this sounds like.

By the way, I’ve had two late periods since then, and on my first late one, I tested negative. I don’t want to test again unless this sickness pattern continues.
PS. I mentioned that I took a test once. please, if you are going to berate me for asking an honest question, don’t answer.

To those of you have been helpful and given me an answer without the rudeness, THANKS!

QUESTION:
Pregnant again 6 months after having baby – no morning sickness?
Ok, I am 7 weeks pregnant with my fourth baby. This was a total surprise, as all 3 of my boys were planned, so I am in shock. I had morning sickness and food adversions with each of them by this stage, but this time I don’t have it (yet). In fact, I am the total opposite – I am hungry all the time and want to eat everything that’s not nailed down! Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks Libbi – Congrats to you also – do you know what you are having?

• ANSWER:
  Girl, I am almost 20 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I cannot recall any morning sickness, I even got worried because I thought something was wrong with me or the baby. I have some bouts of nausea, but nothing that I would call “morning sickness” but don’t get worried.. every woman and every pregnancy is different.
  Congratulations on your fourth baby!!

QUESTION:
What does morning sickness feel like? Is it like the flu or food poisoning?
I know it’s different for everyone but is it like something has gone bad in your stomach or what? Please help me understand.

• ANSWER:
  For me it was like when you see something gross and it makes you gag. My mouth would start to water, I would feel like I was going to lose it, I would spend way to much time fighting it, then I would throw up and feel so much better, for about 15 minutes. I think the worst part for me was smells, would set me off everytime.

QUESTION:
I’m almost 8 weeks. Have morning sickness and food adversion. Is this normal?

QUESTION:
Food poisoning or morning sickness?
can anyone tell the difference?

I had all that nauseated feeling yesterday for a long time, when i ate it went away but like 20 minutes after it returned. sharp heartburn in the middle of my chest, only for a short period though. and last night it went away, but now i am queasy. I took a pregnancy test sunday but that was only two weeks into pregnancy, if i am.

so what is the difference of food poisoning and morning sickness?

thank you very much, i no i should just take the other pregnancy test but am not sure if i am pregnant enough, if i am, to take it and get correct results.
what ever it is increases my senses because we have thouse airwick automatic air fresheners and i was far from it iand i felt like i couls taste the fragrence, didnt make me sick but it did at the thought of spray being in my mouth.
had nothing come out just that feeling in the back of your throat that is like on a roller coaster… up and down and way up and way down… just the intesity would increase at certian thoughts or things.
also wish i could just get it over with because of the thought of it going away… not that it is ruining my day and i have not had to run to the bathroom once but i have actually gaggd slightly just sitting there.

• ANSWER:
  I’ve had food poisoning before and it’s a hell of a lot worse than feeling nauseated. You have a bubbly stomach, puking, diarrhea and it’s violent, it comes in waves and it’s painful.

  Morning sickness on the other hand, I felt nauseous all the time and wished I could throw up because I knew if I did, I’d feel better.

QUESTION:
I am a month and a half late all tests bought from store negative yes morning sickness no food cravings tho?
Please help…MY LAST PERIOD WAS MARCH 20th…pretty sure…I have been with my man for five years and tried a couple years ago but to no avail due to endometriosis and have been through one miscarriage…and the at home tests are coming up negative. Just got sick Mothers Day morning and this morning but I have NO appetite/can’t decide what I want to eat which is weird! Didn’t eat much at all over the weekend actually! No tenderness in boobs (last time they were) and no weight gain, actually LOSING weight! What the heck is goin on? But my belly is hard and poofy (I am naturally petite) What other signs should I look for..?

• ANSWER:
  Get a blood test from your dr… they are much more accurate then home pregnancy tests!! Some women never get positives even though they are infact pregnant.

  I’m 5 weeks and have lost 10 pounds because I CAN’T eat anything. NOTHING sounds good and when I try to eat I feel like throwing up! My boobs are sore too. Sounds like you have symptoms!

QUESTION:
morning sickness?!?
I was having HORRIBLE Morning sickness so bad I couldnt keep food down. The doctor gave me these nasty tasting little pills to help. my question is if and when I come off these pills will the bad nausia come back? and if so will it be worse?
what foods can I eat that would stay down I tried Pasta. the only thing that seems to work is soup

• ANSWER:
  There may not be anything you can do about it. I had a friend who this happened to, and she couldn’t keep anything down (be lucky you have soup) for about 2 months. She just had to deal with it. She did continue to dehydrate though because of it, and would have to go to the hospital to have an IV, and rehydrate. Make sure you you do to, if you are dehydrated cause it is not good for the baby. Good Luck, and just remember eventually it will pass.

QUESTION:
Morning Sickness Or The Food Poisoning?
I have my period every other month for the past four months. I’ve taken 2 home pregnancy test and a planned parent hood test that all said I am not pregnant. And I haven’t had sex in almost two months. However, I woke up this morning with a really bad tummy ache. My abdominal mussels hurt. I’ve felt sick, I have diarrhea, really gassy, and I have a really bad pain on my upper right abdominal area. I know I should not be asking about if Im pregnant since I’ve had two periods, but I’ve read alot of stories of women who had their period and were still pregnant. I still feel sick but there hasn’t been any vomiting, just gas and diarrhea. I did eat some ranch dressing that had been left out for a few days last night which is why Im thinking it could be a mild case of food poisoning. The hurting is kinda settled until I start moving around and then it gets alot worse.

• ANSWER:
  It is probably food poisoning (I feel very badly for you too, that’s not a fun thing to deal with). If you’ve had three negative pregnancy tests and you have been getting your period and you haven’t had sex in two month, I would say that you are probably not pregnant. You would be getting some other signs by now that you might be pregnant. Especially since it has been so long since you’ve had sex. If you are still worried about, call and schedule and appointment at your doctors office for a blood test. Good luck to you and I hope you feel better.

QUESTION:

QUESTION:
6 weeks pregnant with bad morning sickness can’t smell or eat food HELP?
My morning sickness has kind of been getting worse as the weeks go on. around 4 I had it every now and again. The last few days its horrible. Today no matter what I eat or smell I it triggers the nausea.
My doc perscribed phomethazine which I believe is the generic phenegren 25 MG but it barely does anything. I haven’t eatin more than a few crackers all day but everytime I put food in my mouth if it even makes it that far I get sick or dry heaves.
Ginger ale helps some
crackers and peppermint haven’t helped at all. I see my OB tommorrow but I am desperate.
I finany had a full meal at 5:30 pm so far I am doing good I am a bit concered that I may have Hypermesis Gravida I didn’t know what it was called until I researched it but I had it with my 1st pregnancy which I was unable to carry to term.
One thing I want to make sure future moms know is HG is not a mental thing it is a medical condition and hell. hopefully this go round it wont be so bad,
bananas- stayed down about 15 mins.
preggie pops – got the variety bag. Half of the smells and tastes make me sick. the green tea wasn’t too bad but I like B-natal lollipops better as the scents and tastes are mild and they contain B6 and B 12

• ANSWER:
  It sounds like your suffering from the same thing I had (Hypermesis Gravida). Mine lasted to my sixth month..You need to call your doctor and explain the situation..The only thing that worked for me was getting an I.V. every other day to stay hydrated..They would place vitamins for the baby in my I.V…I only drank and ate what sounded good..sometimes It would stay down , other times not so lucky..Don’t let yourself become to dehydrated, it can cause problems for you and the baby..Good luck

QUESTION:
Anyone ever had helped you during morning sickness? Like cooking food b/c you can’t or anything really,?

mommiedearest.. if you are a mother. you need to get a life and stop spending so much time on yahoo answers and spend more time with your children.
I never said cooking at my home.

  Stupid question! If you are vomiting and someone is cooking the smell alone would make you more ill. Do you have a phycal handicap? Why do you feel you need help.? This is the first of 2 questions you have asked and my suggestion is you go see a shrink.

QUESTION:
What foods should I stay away from to prevent morning sickness?
Im lucky enough to not only have morning sickness but all day sickness, so whats some foods I should stay away from to prevent or to help with it even a little?

• ANSWER:
  Im so sorry!! Im 16 weeks and I still have … what I like to call “pregnancy sickness.” Different foods seem to affect different people. Obvious ones are heavy/greasy/really spicy foods. What I did to figure out what seems to make the nausea/vomitting worse is keep a “diary” of what I was eating. By doing that I noticed what foods seemed to give me the most trouble: red meats are a big one for me, and I avoid them now. Also, I started taking my prenatal vitamin at night when the nausea was the most mild. Try eating smaller more frequent meals, that seems to help me … nibble crakers, sip water/juice, little bit of soup etc.

  GOOD LUCK, I know this part sucks, but its worth it huh?? )

QUESTION:
Morning sickness?
Not only do I have morning sickness but I am unable to digest any of my food or drink water. I can’t get my vitamin down. Any ideas other than the traditional eat crackers?
I am 12 weeks along and the sickness is getting worse not better.
My doctor has prescribed meds but I am not willing to take them. No meds have been okayed by the FDA for morning sickness.

• ANSWER:
  Oh stop your worrying! If you try to be perfect it might not end up that way! So many women say how their healthy pregnancy didn’t always work out.

  Try B12 vitamins. Ask your doctor first of course.

QUESTION:
Food or Liquids to soothe morning sickness?
Im 8weeks 2days prego and have the worst morning sickness! I found out i was pregnant at 4weeks 2days and thought i wouldnt have any since it didnt start right away my first OB app was Feb.21st i was 7weeks 3days then my morning sickness started on the 22nd, My dr gave me a list of meds to take that was safe during pregnancy so i now have Emetrol or nausea & vomitting i’ve been taking it for close to a week now and its not helping it either comes back up or i still feel nausea after i take it i was wondering if anyone had this same problem and do you know of any food or drinks that can help! Im scheduled to go in later this week because i cant keep the Emetrol down

• ANSWER:
  The most important thing right now is to stay hydrated. You really don’t want to be dehydrated, so drink as much as possible. Take small sips so as not to overwhelm your stomach. Water can sometimes hurt an empty stomach, so try ginger ale with the bubbles stirred out (carbonation can also hurt your stomach), powerade or gatorade, or juice, if you can manage it.

  Other things that might work for you are popsicles or ices, and fruit–a lot of miserably pregnant women find that they CAN eat fruit, so try out different kinds if that appeals at all. For me, I found that I could eat (at different times) strawberries, grapefruit, and thinly sliced golden delicious apples. It was weirdly specific, but it kept me alive!

  You should try having very small “meals”–a bite of a cracker here and there when you can stomach it. A lot of people find that keeping crackers or something light next to their bed and taking a few bites before they even get out of bed in the morning. You will feel worse if your stomach is empty, so keeping food in it–even just a little bit–will help stave off the misery.

  You might also want to try adding peanut butter to your crackers. Peanut butter has protein, which will make you feel better if you can keep it down.

  If nothing else works, ask your doctor for medication like reglan or zofran to help.

  Good luck!

QUESTION:
Easy food to keep down during morning sickness??
Ok Ladies (and Gents if wanted)…
So I am starving lately. I have terrible morning sickness (atleast 3 times a day), and can’t keep anything down. I’ve tried all the light things, like saltines and ginger ale… but if those stay down, I’m still hungry. Does anyone know of or has experienced some food that is filling and easy to keep down (in TERRIBLE morning sickness, not light)?

Any help is appreciated!! Thanks!
Thank you! I’ll try to the ginger! I wasn’t sure about that when I first read it… but hearing first hand usage, makes it sounds worth a shot!

• ANSWER:
  Fruit salad, and cheddar cheese slices on crackers is my favorite snack. You have to have something with protein in it to keep your belly full. Try eating something small, and include protein every two hours. It helps me A LOT! Also, plenty of water.

QUESTION:
What are some good foods to eat when you’ve got pretty severe morning sickness?
I’m having some pretty bad problems with morning sickness, having problems even with the smell or sight of food until late in the afternoon; what are some foods that you other women out there have found that you can still eat when you’re experieincing morning sickness?

• ANSWER:
  Everyone has different taste on that so it’s kind of hard to say. But to me, salted crackers and hard fruit flavoured candies always works.
