or thereabouts,
I've looked through some of the older threads (and there are lots) but I was wondering specifically if anyone had tips for the nausea.
I'm nearly 8 weeks and for the past 3 weeks it feels like I've been on the edge of throwing up, falling asleep and bursting into tears.

. I'm lucky in that, as with my last pregnancy, I'm very rarely sick, but I still feel terrible and I'm struggling at work.
None of the things that worked last time are helping (mints, fizzy drinks and jacket potatoes!) boiled sweets helped for a bit but are now making me retch and I have no appetite at all.
any advice?
Its been so nice to read that other people are suffering - Im hating every minute of my third pregnancy as i am more sick than last time. It has definately changed in the last week or so but it still feels really debilitating at 14 weeks. Nice to see scan pictures, I have something to bond with and great DH to support me. Im feeling guilty about being so grumpy and moody and praying for this ms to stop SOON! My Dr has also been incredibly supportive and I have been off work for 5 weeks now. One more to go and Im hoping that I will be feeling better. Very tired all the time but I know that this is all good really. Dreading it carrying on though!!!
nargh mine went for a week (cue panic about another MMC) and now its back with a vengence- i feel grim and all the things that did work (sparkling water etc. dont anymore) grrr.
Am off to accu in a min and am going to tell them to treat it as i cant handle this anymore!
Sorry everyone, hope this doesn't annoy you, but it's annoying the hell out of me! We've just started to tell a few people - firstly because I was rumbled by friends who didn't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out that not smoking, not drinking and asking for barbecued steak to be cooked well done meant only one thing. Anyway of those friends/family
1 friend just had a baby - no sickness or nausea at all
2 her sister - also just had a baby and no sickness or nausea at all
3 Another friend 7 months pregnant - no sickness or nausea OR fatigue
3 MIL never once felt sick
4 SIL never once felt sick
I think my DH now thinks I'm making it up

It was eleven weeks for me last time, so the length of sickness this pg is a bit of an unknown science, which is making it worse somehow. I know what you mean, it just stopped, like turning off a switch. Madness.
Zest for life would be great.
Pinkjenny - i said all that second time around........ my second dd was a hard baby until 14 mths and here I am again

and I planned it!
you honestly forget how bad it was (like labour) and then you go "s
* I REMEMBER NOW!"
Second time I was ill until 16 weeks and then it stopped - just like that, bang on 16 weeks!
Same as my sister, she woke that morning and called me and we cheered together.
So maybe teh same will happen to you.
i'm wishing weeks away right now and also hope my personality and some zest for life returns.
i even speak in a monotone now... i must be boring everyone i speak to

Pinkjenny I could have just written your post myself
I haven't put on wait but I am the same and I can't help but think that people think i obviously haven't suffered that badly if I am not now emaciated. But i HAVE.
I dread the onset of of late afternoon and evening. it's downhill all the way.
this will be my first but I am thinking never again. I don't know how you cope with MS and a child. That is tough!
So I am now 13 weeks and still feel sick. Does anyone start to get a feeling of dread mid-afternoon knowing that it's nearly dinner time? I am eating so much crap, and have probably put a ridiculous amount of weight on.
I completely agree with you, jardins. You summed my feelings up perfectly. My mum was telling me she feels like my personality has disappeared. And I have been such a shouty mum to dd. And because it's my second pg, no one really cares. <cries>
Never again. Seriously.
And that's obviously plain rice and now not know!
oh it's all sooo true. You need to break it up though. DOn't think about 5 weeks. Think in two and a half you'll have your scan and your symptoms will start to improve.
I totally sympathise though. I am not sure what my personality is like anymore or even if there still is one hidden away down there!!
Why did that post twice? Sorry!!
