Nausea!! Please help

[BH3620]

I’m only 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant and I’ve been feeling sick for the last 2-3 weeks. I sometimes gag but I’m not being sick. The nausea is really depressing me, I feel sick literally all the time. I can’t stop crying and I’m sure I’m hell to be around. I can’t stand the thought of making food because it makes me feel sick which means I’m nonstop asking my partner to bring me food. He made a comment “I’m making all your food at the moment” and I can’t help but be angry even though he’s doing everything and I’m doing nothing. I don’t want to be like this I really don’t. I keep having awful thoughts about termination because I can’t stand it. I’ve tried ginger, tried eating small amounts and everything else. I’m seeing the midwife on Monday, will she consider giving me tablets? I’m seriously ready to give up, I can’t take it anymore

Sounds like you're having a really rough time. Definitely mention it to your midwife but I'd make an appointment with your GP and explain that the nausea is effecting your day to day life and preventing you from functioning properly. They will more than likely prescribe an antiemetic since you've tried the home remedies. Good luck and hang in there, it will get better and you don't need to suffer in the meantime x

Make a doctor's appointment. They can prescribe you tablets if you need them. They will also sign you off work if you can't cope at the moment. Remember it will pass, you will feel better eventually and it will be worth it in the end. xx

I feel your pain, I am exactly the same right now.
On the up side, it will pass. Last time (this is my second) it lasted until I was around 16 weeks though, but it wasn't quite this constant. I can't live like this for 9 more weeks! I don't think my husband will cope either.
I'm trying to eat little and often. That sort of helps. And a bit of squash for sugar.

Totally get this! I've only been sick a couple of times but feel nauseous constantly can barely stomach any food. DH is being brilliant but I've already gone sick from work as I couldn't cope with the travel and feeling ill all day.

@BH3620 I feel your pain! I feel sick 24/7 to the point where I was almost admitted into hospital as I couldn’t keep anything down! I was given anti Sickness meds but they only take the edge off it slightly but make me feel dizzy!
I feel like I have not enjoyed my pregnancy at all. I find that lemonade ice lollies work well with me?

Just keep snacking on anything you can tolerate and if you fancy something just have it!

Good luck xxx

I can’t recommend Pregnancy Sickness Support enough. I phoned them when I was at my lowest and sobbed down the phone to them! They directed me to the right help and I ended up on the right medication. The sickness stopped eventually (it’s heartburn now 🙄).

It might not feel like it, but there’s light at the end of this. And don’t let anyone make you feel bad for it being “only nausea”. I’d have taken throwing up over the constant nausea any day - at least you get some relief then!

I have HG & honestly, sometimes the nausea is more unbearable than throwing up! It really can be debilitating & soul destroying!

Your midwife can’t prescribe unfortunately, it’ll need to be your GP. Some will prescribe for nausea & some won’t. They should if you are struggling to eat & drink so make sure you express how hard you are finding it to do so & your thoughts about termination etc. Please don’t feel bad about thinking that way, I have with both pregnancies due to being so poorly. I could find no joy in the first trimester whatsoever. It’s only now as I’ve reached 18 weeks, I’m beginning to feel better & find myself feeling excited for baby #2

Sending lots of love, it can be such a rough ride!
