Morning sickness at night ???

Someone, anyone, please help.

I've suffered with sickness throughout this pregnancy but it's been of an evening. I'm 20 weeks and it's not eased at all. I can eat and keep things down in the morning but from 2pm onwards if I eat anything I'm violently sick. Does anyone have any tips?

TIA

Eat!

When I was having DD the MW advised me to keep a mars bar handy at all times, as the main cause of MS was low blood sugar. Even by the bed.

That's practically a prescription for chocolate!

Other than that, eat little and often. It's normal to feel sick at any time of day, but it's normally worse in the morning as its so long since eating (hence the name!)

Haha I do. Honest, id never starve Wink I eat anything I fancy but it all comes straight back up. The last few nights I've retched so much that ive bought up blood. I can't physically stop it. Sad sorry for tmi Blush

Poor you. I've been v fortunate not to be actually sick although I start feeling v ill if I go more than about 20 min without eating something... Like what Flisspaps said.

What time are you having lunch and what are you choosing? Maybe try breaking you lunch into 3/4 portions and eating one every 15/20 mins, or try different food/drink options?

I know this can be hard depending on your work - sure my colleagues think I've gone crazy.

Oh that sounds awful :(

Have you gone to docs for meds?

In meantime make sure you are eating loads of yum stuff in the morning while you can stomach it... Maybe change your waking habits (up a bit earlier?) so you can fit 3 meals in?

Could you try a nap/lie down at lunch?

Worth going to see your GP - may be naff all help but may have some sort of answer. You have my sympathies - so grim isn't it.
With DD I was sick if I moved after eating and indigestion tablets seemed to help - I always had a pack of chewable rennies on me - actually a lovely nurse on NHS direct suggested them, really helped me keep stufff down. I was ill everytime I brushed my teeth, which was rubbish.
With DS I was violently sick constantly. The indigestion tablets didn't help. After 16 weeks it started to get better - I was prescribed a couple of sickness tablets - some travel sickness thing helped a bit - made me drowsy and helped me sleep - I was worse when I was tired, and I wasn't sleeping - yuck.

Hope it gets better soon. With my first pg I was sick until the end, with my second it got better after 18 weeks ish. The big plus side was that the feeling after I had given birth was amazing - I wasn't pg any more.

Thanks girls. This will be dc3 and I didn't have this before. So frustrating! I kept reassuring my self that it would ease at 12 weeks and here I am still hugging the toilet bowl.

At the moment I get up at 6.30 eat breakfast and then have lunch and that's it, I am hungry in the evenings just can't stomach anything. Even cooking dinner for dp and the kids makes me sick Sad.

Will tell the dr Monday, hopefully they can't sort me out. In the meantime I'm gonna send dp to the garage for some mars bars Wink

I had 'morning' sickness same as you, from about 2pm onwards. My work had a really good canteen with an 'all you can eat hot/cold healthy buffet' I had a pyramid plateful everyday and got some really funny looks, wasn't obvious I was pregnant, I just looked hugely greedy.
No tips other than the above, eat a big lunch, and some sympathy cos it was pants, feeling like that.
