I'm Currently Feeling:  |  Help me, please! (MS)
Help me ladies! Please! I'm at my wits end. About a week ago my morning sickness started but is was off and on and not every day - so I could deal. The past few days it's taken over my life. I'm sick, literally, round the clock. I wake up in the middle of the night nauseous. I'm nauseous all day long. I can't eat. Nothing sounds appealling to eat. It's to the point where it's a struggle to drink water or ginger ale. I can keep them down but only just barely. Everyone keeps telling me to find something I can eat and just stick with that. I can't find anything to eat. I've read about the sea-sickness braclets but I'm not sure what to think. When I was pregnant with my youngest, I had similar morning sickness but nowhere near this bad. My OB eventually put me on Phenergan because I was loosing too much weight. I ended up having trouble with preterm labor and he was born a month premature with premature lungs (2 collapsed lungs and pneumonia). I'm terrified that the Phenergan played a part in his preterm labor/birth. So I'm desperate for some other things to try before I'm forced to go that route again.
What has worked for you ladies? What do you suggest? | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Honestly, although my MS is bad (all day nausea) I am able to eat most things if I take it slowly (not thrown up yet *fingers crossed* only come close a few times). Have you tried saltine crackers or a piece of dry toast, not the most appealing things in the world but they are easy on your stomach, I find they help to ease my nausea. | | | | Status: Offline

(Yes, crackers smell. lol)
PitBullMommy ~ Sorry to hear about the HG. Which meds did they put you on? I could live with sleeping all day. (I'm on the couch trying not to move because moving makes it worse anyways. Might as well sleep.) I just want to be able to eat and not be sick all the time. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I used the Seabands. They were the only thing that got me through it. You can buy them at any drug store. They are the bands you were for motion sickness. Don't worry, it will pass. I've almost forgotten how miserable I was! Oh, I also went to an acupuncturist too, which REALLY helped! It was SO worth the $80. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I also have HG... I actually still get sick often. My doctor put me on Zofran for it. It was originally made for patients with cancer, however, they determined it was safe for pregnant women. Before I took a test and found out I was pregnant, I was taking Phenergan for nausea, but stopped after finding out. Also, the Zofran makes me much less drowsy than the Phenergan did. I've also been taking vitamin b6, 50mgs a day. And if you do try to eat, I would recommend eating something dry, and waiting 30 mins after eating to drink something. It will let the food settle more. Good luck, it does get better. Mine hasn't gone away, but is more manageable.  | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I had really bad morning sickness too, from the time I woke up until I went to sleep, I was getting sick like 5 times a day. My doctor ended up putting me on medication for it, not sure what it was since I haven't had to take it in a while, but I just took it 2 to 3 times a day, whenever I felt sick, it was the only thing that made me feel better. | | | | Status: Offline
