Night waking to be sick?

I've vomited A LOT through all my pregnancies but now with DC3 it is getting ridiculous.

I normally have 3/4 days being very sick followed by 3/4 days of nausea without vomiting. But the last week it has been constant including waking up several times a night to vomit. Has anyone else had this?

I'm 22 weeks now, I imagine it will carry on till birth. It's just the relentlessness of it without a break and at night time as well.

Yep. I had it too. Ended up in hospital twice hooked up to fluid and anti-sickness drips. I was lucky if I got an hour and half in between vomiting sessions during the day, and woke in the night to be sick. I think it stopped when I got to about 26 weeks!
Sending you massive Flowers (would send cake to, but that would probably make you sick Wink but in all seriousness, are you able to eat properly? That was a big factor in it for me)

I was sick all through the night between 5 and 15 weeks... Didn't expect morning sickness to mean half past 2 in the morning! :( I'm 18 weeks now and I'm only sick once or twice a day now but you have all my sympathy, those 10 weeks were a complete zombie haze! Flowers

I know everyone says it, but it does work - eat something small and dry before you go to bed if you can (the only thing that didn't make me sick was ready salted crisps!), and keep the something similar beside the bed. If you wake up in the night and feel nauseous but not like you are going to immediately vomit, try to eat a tiny bit again. Might be asking a stupid question, but have you been to your gp? Mine gave me Metoclopromide, which is an anti-sickness drug that is safe in pregnancy. At first I couldn't swallow the pills, they just made me sick! So that was when I was given something similar intravenously. But after the drip kicked in, I didn't feel sick for a few hours, so I could swallow a tablet. And it worked like a dream! As long as I kept taking it at the right times before I felt sick, the sickness was nowhere near as bad. I still felt a bit nauseous, but didn't vomit anywhere near as much Flowers

I was sick 24/7 with pg 1 - horrible, but it did ease off by about 17 weeks, and went completely by about 20. It was horrible - I was exhausted and was signed off work for about 3 months.
With pg2 I went to the GP and was given anti-sickness pills. they stopped the permanent nausea and I was only sick a few times. Made coping with the toddler much easier Wink Have you been to the docs?

Yes. Several times I woke up in the process of being sick. Awful.

Nothing worked totally - adding an extra pillow, ranitidine for acid helped a tiny bit. Anti sickness meds never really worked for me. :(

Have you seen your doctor for anti emetics?

Are you on any nausea medication? I kept waking feeling very sick at night, Avomine stopped that.
