Sick of feeling sick

I am 32 weeks pg with ds3 & for the past week or so, I have been feeling sick pretty much constantly Sad. I have never felt like this before when pg, in the slightest. Now, I cannot ear more than a small child-sized portion of anything or I feel sick. It happens when i'm tired, too.

Does anybody else get this? Am paranoid it means something is wrong with baby Sad

I had HG during first trimester, was very sick until 20 weeks, was fairly sick (i.e. a couple of days a week when I couldn't keep anything down) until about 25 weeks. Sick once a day between 25 and 33 weeks and then in the last couple of weeks it's ramped up again.

The joys! So, nothing to say except it does happen to other people and I really don't think it means there's anything wrong with the baby. Mine has been absolutely fine at scans all along - all the medical professionals have told me that they are very effective parasites :)

It is so miserable but not long to go now...

I've had morning sickness the whole way through and did with my first. Stopped the moment I had her. It is quite depressing. I've tried all sorts but the instant i wake up i feel sick. I'm approaching 38 weeks and past three weeks been sick after meals so just having really small meals/snacks which seems to help.

Hello, Confused this sounds so nasty, but you can be sure it doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with baby, I think medical people will tell you it's hormonal, and due to lack of space and to stick to tiny little bland meals. It might be worth asking the doctor for meds (you can be sure, too, they will NEVER prescribe anything that might have a chance of damaging the baby) if the sickness keeps you from eating much at all. Do make sure you are keeping down enough fluids - it might be worth going to the chemists to get kestostix to check your urine for dehdyration. If the worst comes to the worst and the sickness gets really bad, do come over to join us on the

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/a1928263-Hyperemesis-Support?msgid=44078380#44078380' as some people can get it in the last stages of pregnancy, but it's rare and I hope you don't need to!

Thank you ladies & I'm sorry you are all suffering too Sad. I am lucky in that I have not actually been sick, just feel constantly sick & drained. I also get heartburn which doesn't help. But I think I've worked out now that I need to eat little & often, rather than 3 big meals. Am seeing MW on Tuesday, so will mention it then.

I think I have found it disconcerting as I have never had so much as a hint of sickness before in PG (very lucky, I know). I always joke that I am good at getting pg (first month each time Shock), good at being pg (never really noticed I was pg before) but rubbish at getting the babies out (2 EMCS, necessitating an ELCS for DS3)

Hope we all feel less sick soon Smile
