Morning sickness (at night!)

[Lou98]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has any tips for dealing with 'morning' sickness?

Mine has been bearable during the day, nausea rather than vomiting, then hit half 6/7 at night I start vomiting and gagging over the toilet! It then stops me from sleeping as lying down makes me feel worse!

Does anyone have any tips on how to help this enough to get some sleep?

Keep some crackers or bland biscuits by your bed to nibble on and some water.. sleep propped up and not laying flat x

@ohdearymemumof3 I will give that a try, thank you! 😁

Although the thought of eating anything right now is making me gag🙈🤢

Little and often with bland snacks works for me, most of the time anyway. I did have a phase of not being able to eat at all after about 6pm as the night was bad for sickness. Keeping the room cool works too for me. Good luck, it can't last forever! (I seem to recall saying that around 8 months pg last time...)

@MaidenoftheSpear thank you! I have the bedroom windows open now and changed in to pj shorts and top to cool down, I've propped myself up a bit which hopefully helps.

It's definitely worst in the night for me, I don't feel great during the day but the sickness at night is overwhelming!

Although, it's took us two years and a MC to get here so trying not to complain too much! 🙈

What's your work situation op? Are you able to have an afternoon nap to see if it's being overtired in the evenings making you feel ill?

@doctorhamster I've not been able to so far as don't finish work until 5 but I never even thought of that. I'll maybe try getting away a bit earlier tomorrow and see if that helps!

I’m finding it worse when I’m tired. I have a bit of flexibility with work so have resorted to a couple of afternoon naps when I’ve felt the nausea ramp up, and it seems to have sorted me out.

I’m told the GP can prescribe stuff for morning sickness - didn’t find out till after my own suffering was over. Worth a try. It’s very hard to endure for the amount of time a lot of people have to endure it for!

@BlueJayTO that's good that that's managed to help you a bit. Think I'm going to try get away early today and get a nap in to see if that makes a difference!

@Anniemabel I'm still early days yet so going to wait and hope that it eases up a little bit over the next week or so but if not then I'll definitely phone my GP I think!

@Lou98 my nap strategy hasn’t worked too well today! Still felt rough this evening even after a snooze.

@BlueJayTO awk really? That's not so good! I went for an earlier night last night as not been able to nap but the insomnia has definitely kicked in now too!
