I'm pregnant and my stomach hates me

7 replies

It took me so long to want to have a 2nd dc because I hated being pregnant and I'm 8 weeks in and throwing up/diarrhoea multiple times a day.

No pattern, no particular trigger foods that I can avoid, just constant nausea, vomiting (3 times today so I haven't kept any food down).

I'm lying in bed and my stomach is churning. I know I can get meds from the doctor, and I will if this doesn't ease up soon but tonight I feel a bit sorry for myself and have very limited people IRL I can talk to.

Congratulations and 💐 in equal measures.
Don't hang on for too long to get anti sickness meds. There are no prizes for bravely trying to struggle through it.
Are you managing to keep fluid down in between good/vomiting?

Mostly I can keep fluid down, but I'm SO thirsty, all the time. I'm probably trying to recoup the fluid I'm losing but for a pregnant woman, I don't wee all that much!

If you’re at risk of becoming dehydrated get the meds sooner rather than later - save yourself a stay in hospital

Frequent little sips of fluids.
It's hell. Sympathies !!

I found ice cubes/ lollies/ ice cream really helped!
Sometimes I could only manage half, then put it back in the freezer. But it kept the dehydration at bay

You have my sympathies as I’m going through similar, although I had none of this last time around. I’ve found very icy cold drinks, ice lollies and cold melon are more tolerable.

Melon is a great idea, thank you. I'm so thankful we splurged on the big fridge that makes its own ice!

I go back to work next week and I'm DREADING it.
