Normal pregnancy nausea/morning sickness?

Is it normal to feel extremely sick all day? Not thrown up at all although I've gagged a few times.

Is this normal?

Anything outside the usual food, sea bands, ginger that works ?

It was normal for me between weeks 6 to 12/13ish. Still get nausea occasionally now and I’m 22 weeks, but it’s 100 times better.

Eat little and often. I found having some Belvita by the bed helped in case I woke up feeling hungry, cos if I left it too long I felt sick.

Find the right (boiled) sweets for you to take that nasty taste out of your mouth. Fruit Pastilles are my go-to, but also had old fashioned herbal tablets too.

Yes unfortunately this is normal, although can be a form of HG. Antiemetics (anti sickness) tablets can be effective so if you feel that you would benefit from them it's worth contacting your GP. Hope it passes for you soon, I had this with my 2nd pregnancy and it was horrendous, worst than my 1st where I would be sick until lunch time then be fine. It passed in both pregnancies by 12 weeks though so fingers crossed for you x

Yes, I had really bad nausea but very little vomitting.

Mine seemed to be worse on an empty stomach so I just had to eat carbs all the time which made it marginally better.

It lasted till 14 weeks in my first pregnancy and until 10 weeks this time.

Thanks guys. Glad to hear it's normal and it should go away . I'm only 6 weeks so got a ways to go.

Hi OP, sending hugs as I know how awful it is. I had horrible morning (all day) sickness from weeks 6-14, was still a bit sick until week 20. It’s totally normal.
I tried sea bands, ginger biscuits, everything and it didn’t work. I eventually got cyclizine which took the edge off a bit, and I wish I’d gone to the doctors sooner.
Try a few things and see what works for you. I could keep down some plain bread and butter and ice pops but that was about it. It seems endless but it will ease off!

I’m right there with you. Sadly it didn’t subside until Trimester 2 last time so I’m bracing myself for 6/7 more weeks of it.

@glasspaw sorry your feeling bad as well. Off work today as I can't work like this. Hopefully the Dr can give me something. I can't function. I waited years for this pregnancy, never thought it would be like this.

I really feel for you. I'm also pregnant- twins after two losses. I'm ashamed to admit I hate being pregnant- love the babies, hate the symptoms. I didn't think it would be this hard but I did get meds and it did help. So don't be a hero and definitely ask for it.
