‘Morning’ sickness

[Evey43]

Hi

I’m getting terrible morning sickness, I’m about 5 weeks 5 days and just have background nausea all day which often gets worse in waves. I have a 3 year old and cooking and wiping bums is making me constantly heave.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Try and get someone else to do bums and cooking, if that's not possible trying getting some nice smelling essential oils you like the smell of, put some on a face mask and wear that during them tasks x

@Evey43 order yourself the motion sickness wristbands - life saver. I wore them for ten weeks every day to dampen the nausea x

Great suggestions, thank you! I will definitely be trying both xx

Most people find it improves around 12 weeks. A mindset that’s it means good circulating hormones helps.

That said mine lasted until labour and pregnancy was the best diet ever I lost nearly two stone each time and was stick thin in postpartum period. No treatment back then either.

I used to carry a bottle of Vosene shampoo everywhere so I can could smell that instead of coffee, cigarette smoke, tuna, onions or anything much else. Looked funny in work meetings but soon accepted as the norm.
Don’t rush up in the morning before eating a couple of ginger nut biscuits. Avoid excess dairy or fatty products. Sea bands. When I had to go with my husband for one of his job interviews, I had acupuncture which was a stud in my ear. It helped a lot and I could twiddle it if I was nauseous.

I am struggling too with all day nausea. I feel like I'm hungry but when I actually go to eat I have no appetite.
Then when I do eat I get the worst stomach ache and constant feeling of needing to go to the bathroom.
