Constant morning sickness really getting me down

[clearBlueSavannah]

I'm 9 weeks and feel dreadful.
This is my 2nd pregnancy and first time round I was tired and would vomit and then feel better.
But I can't seem to get any relief from the nausea - even when I am sick - and it's not as much as last time.
I am just so tired all the time

House is a tip.
My toddler watching far more Cbeebies than I would like
And then today I saw some of the childbirth threads on MN and I am panicking about the birth already even though I haven't had a scan yet.
How can I deal with this better?

I was even looking into a "tonic" for those feeling run down and then found out that the brand I bought was recalled cause it had petrol in it

Gosh, I really sympathise. I am 18 weeks and while the nausea has gone I just feel like I am falling apart! I am sooo tired.

For the sickness have you tried:

travel sickness bands
fizzy sweets
lemon juice in a bottle of water
nevasic app from iTunes (it's an app of the MorningWell anti sickness CD)
a multivitamin

I'm sure you are trying everything, but these are a few things that just about took the edge off for me.

As for the TV, meh, it won't do any long term damage. The long term benefits of providing your LO with a sibling will far outweigh any negative effects of TV.

As for the birth, I'm in denial really! Remember, you got through it the first time, you will get through it again. Try to get through the next few months before you worry about it.

How can you deal with this better? Well, if you find out let me know. I am mostly dealing with it by having a short temper with DD, being unnecessarily sarky to DH, and complaining to my work colleagues, and partly by sitting on the floor crying (though I try and reserve that for at home or at least in the loos at work ).

Oh you poor thing, I really really empathise with you and know how you are feeling. With my first I felt a bit sick in the morning, but then felt better.
Second pregnancy, morning sickness was a nightmare, and all the things you described. in fact i was signed off work, and stayed in bed. But i can honestely say that I've never felt so ill in my whole life, and also I felt so miserable. Also it's really hard to describe to people who've not been through it. My son ended up watching loads of telly also, but it's ok honest because you just have to look at it that it's only one time in your/his life.

I don't know if you can stay at your mums house at all. We went to visit when i was about 12 weeks and it really helped just having someone else cooking, washing and all that stuff? All i cna say is that my morning sickness got better from 12 weeks onwards, now am 28 weeks and normal. At the time it felt endless, but really it was only about 6 weeks in total. I hope this is the case for you.

In the meantime, hang in there, take each day as it comes. Tryt o eat a little, as it'll make you feel better.

Good luck

Thanks for replying bumper
Am really tonight
Like your theory re telly
Have done some hypno stuff - which hasn't worked really
Last time I had acupuncture quite often - had more ££ and more time and also a really nice therapist nearby - it's a pita to get to her now.

Haven't tried fizzy sweets
I have eaten SHITE today - all I have managed to keep down is 2 packs of crisps and a snickers. Not exactly nutrition to grow a baby with, is it?

Am getting headahces and dunno if it'scos I'm withdraing from caffeine - REALLY can't stomach tea or coffee but usually quite a coffee fiend.

I'll dig out my sickness bands and try not to collapse on the floor in bits.

hi my dd has constant sickness till 5 months she had hypermersies

Hi, just to say I SO sympathise too. I am 19 weeks with my third and all you say is me 10 weeks ago. Too much CBeebies, lying in bed hours at a time, house a wreck, feeling down, eating absolute SHITE. Why is it that that is all our bodies seem to want?! I have just started feeling better the last couple of weeks.

I don't know what the answer is! Just take it a day at a time and aim for survival, nothing more. And it WILL get better.....

Today was the first day that I managed to eat my usual (non-pg) cereal of sultana bran. Until now now my usual pg cereal of choice has been coco pops! Delicious and nutritious!

It's difficult when all you want to do is eat crap, because I'm sure that it actually makes you feel crapper, but the most important thing is whatever stops you not feeling so sick at the time. It will pass, but it's shite. Pregnancy just has no redeeming features. Being sick takes all the fun out of eating 'bad' foods.

I feel your pain I was regularly sick 7 or 8 times a day till about 20 weeks then it eased to once or twice a day till about 33 weeks now I feel sick not all the time but am not actually sick very often occassionally (now 37 weeks).

TV my dd has got loads more of it than I would normally allow, I figure that when baby is here I'll need her to be able to sit and watch whilst feeding/recovering so going to tackle that later when everything has settled down.

I found salt and vinegar mccoys helped last pregnancy along with mcdonalds double cheese burgers really healthy! I asked my mw and was told that the baby takes the nutrients from you and your left with what the baby doesn't need and not to worry about it too much.

This pregnancy nothing has stopped the sickness point blank but I did find taking it slower to get out of bed in the mornings and not rushing helped, likewise eating little and often if i went to long without grazing I was more likely to be sick!

Travel sickness bands helped with the train to and from London...

Good luck I hope it passes for you quickly most people stop suffering at 16 weeks (the latest) x
