Nausea ALL day everyday- could it be twins?

[karrliz]

This is my second pregnancy, and I am currently seven weeks and five days.

With my DD I had nausea in the morning, but it would usually go after an hour of being up, so this feeling is really new to me!

I have nausea all day every day. I even wake up in the night feeling sick. Water makes me feel unwell and so do most foods, so keeping it very bland!

I called the doctors today and they have prescribed me anti-sickness medicine. However, when I was speaking to the doctor, he very casually said 'no two pregnancies are the same and often sickness is worse if you're having twins.'

So now I'm thinking, could I be having twins? Or can all day sickness also happen for single pregnancies? My husband has twins his side, however, it's his cousins who were through IVF- which I understand is common to have twins. I have twins my side, but they are my uncles and in all honesty, my Nan had nine children, so probability wise she was most likely to have twins at some point

Has anyone else had experience of all day nausea, and not had twins ???

With my DD, I felt sick whenever I was awake from week 8 until about week 18. I was only sick a couple of times but the nausea was awful - my sense of smell was the culprit I think.

I had heard a wives tale that you feel more sick with girls as they produce more HCG.

Constant nausea is unfortunately pretty common in all types of pregnancies. Morning sickness often happens throughout the day. The only way to know for sure is on a scan. I think twins running in families is only something passed on through the mothers.

Twins are only heritable through the mum, so your husband doesn't count. Skipping generations is also not a thing - it's just chance.

My extreme and constant sickness was just one!

Yep. I've got a boy and a girl (not twins, two pregnancies) - all day and all night nausea. Felt incredibly hungover for weeks.

I was sick throughout the whole of my pregnancy and only had the 1🫡 😂

I had constant nausea with both my pregnancies- both singletons. Rarely actually being sick, but I was quickly losing weight until it tailed off in the second trimester.

I’m a twin myself and my mum had pretty bad morning sickness until about 18 weeks. She was told it could be because she was having multiples, or just the luck of the draw.

If you really want to know, you could book a private scan?

Or can all day sickness also happen for single pregnancies?

It definitely can.

DD1 very little occasional nausea, DD2 constant nausea and frequent vomiting 🤷🏻‍♀️ go figure.

All day sickness can happen in any pregnancy.
Zero nausea at all can happen in any pregnancy.

I have had one twin pregnancy and two single pregnancies and had no sickness and virtually no nausea in any of them.

The only way to know for certain whether it is a twin pregnancy is a scan or birth. Possibly HCG levels, but I'm not sure.

Good luck with your pregnancy!

@HappyAsASandboy totally get your username 😜

DD1 no sickness, no nausea, nothing. DD2 constant nausea, just wanted to cry

My first was a single pregnancy and my second was twins. Was equally sick with both. I had HG so rather pleased that the twin pregnancy didn’t turn out to be twice as sick. (Not sure I would have survived.)

With my second boy, I was sick all day every day from 5 weeks to about 24 weeks. It went away at 24 weeks and came back at 36 weeks.

I've had both a singleton pregnancy and twin pregnancy and was sick all day every day (and night) from 4/5 weeks till I gave birth.

I had this in my second pregnancy. I was so, so ill right through. Just one baby.

I had all day, every day sickness with all three pregnancies and they were all boys. With all of them it didn't finally stop until 20 weeks. It wasn't fun.

It could be or it could just be that you’re more tired second time round. Tiredness will increase nausea. I have three with varying levels of sickness and my second baby was the worst. Lasted all day.

Thank you for all of your comments! Reassuring to hear that this has happened to other people in all types of pregnancies!

I know every pregnancy is different, but the sickness is just unbearable! I like to think I have a very good tolerance for feeling unwell, but this is making me so fed up!

I'm so grateful to be pregnant so hate complaining and I also feel guilty as I am not 100% for my little girl!

Trying to drink ginger tea and stick to bland foods- anyone else find any home remedies that helped? Or is anti-sickness meds the only way?

I was sick/nauseas 24/7 with my daughter from 6-17 weeks! Nothing helped not even the medication and I tried several...

@karrliz

god it’s grim. I’m long past those days now but I haven’t forgotten. I’m pretty good as well at being ill but that never ending pregnancy sickness really made me quite depressed on reflection. I’m 35 and I now just look on in horror.

Such a bloody cliche but it is worth it. Oh and ginger biscuits used to give me the rage and everyone’s remedies will be different. Pregnant one I needed milk, pregnancy two cake and pregnancy 3 a lot of chips. And I mean a lot.

With my twins (2nd pregnancy) I was sick for months. I was showing at 6 weeks too.

I have twins and had no sickness at all!

As others have said, it can happen on any pregnancy. You can ask for medication for it though, I had to take it with my 2nd pregnancy as you can’t be out and about with a toddler feeling like you’re in a storm at sea and about to throw up any minute

My sickness got worse with each pregnancy. Ds1 I was nauseous for about 12 weeks, ds2 about 14 or so and DD it just never ended. Pregnancy 3 was awful tbh as I was just so tired with my ds who were 4 and 2, it just felt like I was ill for the whole 9 months so like a pp that said I look back in horror and wonder how i got through it. Pregnancy is brutal. Goodluck OP.

Obviously it's totally, totally worth it!!
