20 weeks, sickness getting worse-help!

I'm hoping someone's got some advice. The title says it all really, nausea just seems to be getting worse every day now. I cant eat first thing at all- though I've never been a breakfast person so that's not a problem- but I would usually have lunch. Now by 2 o clock I'm in a mad dither every day as I'm both hungry and feeling sick but I know as soon as I eat I'll feel dreadfully sick if that makes sense.Sometime I am sick, other times I just feel like I'm constantly about to be. So I hold out as long as I can in the interests of getting things done- I work full time and I have a 2.7 year old, but sooner or later I have to eat and then I'm all over the place. Evenings are bad too. I've even tried eating very small amounts - a couple of crackers, a handful of grapes, etc- every 90 mins or so, but that makes no difference. What can I do? Should I be worried? Any advice gratefully received

See your Dr, get some meds. I am 30 weeks and still having to take anti sickness meds. They don't get rid of it completely but it will help you cope.

Also get some rest, you sound tired and that really doesn't help. I'm also on anti sickness meds and it does take the edge off until I'm too tired, hungry or just having a bad day.

Mine was bad til 24 weeks, then I started getting some sleep over Christmas with DH home and it really made a difference. It comes back when I don't get much sleep. If that doesn't help, it really is worth speaking to your GP and letting them know what it's really like.

Thanks all,

I probably should go to the drs, and you're right it is worse with tiredness. I had none of this with DC1. I had Tired. Bump. Bigger bump. Labour. Baby. This time everything under the sun but the sickness is just getting me down. It makes me immensely irritable on top of tired/lethargic/sick/ bilious and bloated. Pregnancy glow anyone? Anyway thanks again for the responses!
