Holy Mother of Nausea! I just might die.

Lemme just say that I am so grateful for this little nugget inside of me. I want it, I love it, I can't wait. BUT, holy mother of nausea ... I have never been this sick in my life. It is almost impossible to work, and with 150 14 year olds depending on me, I am FAILING at being awesome. My first pregnancy was total cake. I was that blissful, peaceful, super happy preggo with hardly any sickness at all. Well, I think I am making up for it. It lasts alll day long, and comes in waves that vary from moderately disgusting to all out gut-wrenching dry heaves.
Anyone else have this drastic of a difference with their babies?

Ginger! Get your hands on some crystalized ginger, and even ginger snap cookies will work in a pinch. Lemon drop candies will also help, if it's SUPER bad and none of that helps you can try sea bands or call your doc for some zofran (although I found that the nausea wasn't any worse, I just didn't puke or heave). You can also try Hazlewood jewlery, much like the amber we use for our kiddo's this helps with morning sickness!

I am sorry you feel so bad, but hopefully it will work itself out and level out as you get closer to the 2nd tri. I had HORRIBLE sickness with the triplets, and it was pretty bad with Matty too, so I can't tell you anything about the differences!

Maybe this one is a boy pirate? LOL

Health food store, here I come. I will order a hazelwood necklace today, from inspiredbyfinn, too. Can't hurt. Thanks, lady. I see the doctor Monday and I will let her know, too. It's just so hard to play with Lyd and feel like this. Gives me the sads. Thanks again! :-)

Have you been able to confirm just one nugget in there? Maybe there's 2 and you're getting a double whammy of hormones?

Hey there,
Ohmygoodlordabove, No. I would have a heart attack, and then be happy, I am sure. But whoa. lol .. I will keep you posted! :-)

I can totally relate to the all day long nausea and icky feeling all the way up to the gut wrenching dry heaves....I hate the taste of ginger ale/ginger anything so i usually tough it out....I have been feeling this way since about 7 weeks or so and I'm going on 14 weeks and still feeling it strong! Being pregnant is awesome but this part of it sucks! This is my first pregnancy so I don't really have anything to compare it to.

Gah! I hope you feel better soon, too! Ginger ale sounds pretty good right now, we'll see how it goes later on. haha!

I am in the same boat pirate_mommy. I can not for the life of me get rid of this nausea. I am pregnant with twins, and I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I am almost completely out of commission all day every day due to the constanct nausea and waves of dry heaving. This has been going on for over 2 weeks, and I'm only 7 weeks along. Everyone says ginger, but ginger ale doesn't help. Hard candies, attempting to eat every couple of hours, and even Zofran have all been unsuccessful at getting rid of my nausea. I was told to eat half a green apple or some grapes before i even stand up and get out of bed, but nope. So far, nothing works. And I have lost 8lbs since finding out I was pregnant. I'm pretty scared and worried that I'm doing something wrong or am hurting myself and my babies. I understand your thought process about being totally happy, wanting to be pregnant and loving it. and at the same time, i don't want to be pregnant anymore right now because of the nausea. this sucks! I'm sorry I'm really not any help in giving you different ideas to cure the nausea, but i just wanted to let you know that you're not the only one in this boat and I'm here if you need someone to continue to talk to.

p.s. the only thing i haven't tried are "preggy pops" my friend told me about. she got them at a natural/wholisitc store and said they helped her a lot. but i haven't even been able to go out looking for them. i'll let you know if i do, and tell you if they work or not.

Hi you! 
I am SO sorry you're feeling bad! Ack! And, yet again, there's the "T" word! Yikes! As much as I want a large family, I think having twins would be a little more than I could handle. I mean, I would handle it, .. but, well ... you get it. I did try preggie pops, and I can eat only one flavor, lol, and it provides relief for about ten minutes. Better than nothing, I guess! ha! I am just really hoping this leaves at twelve weeks like "they" say! Ack!

I am so glad that I came on here this morning. I had RNY June 18, 2009. I just found out last week that I'm expecting (6 weeks along based on the date of my last period) Well, I woke up Wednesday with my first taste of morning sickness. First of all, whoever decided it should be called "morning" sickness should die a slow, painful, death. What a complete misnomer! Anyhow, I'm feeling the same way. I'm delighted that I'm pregnant, but I'm right there with you about the nausea part. My OB appointment isn't until Monday, so I called my surgeon last night. She wants me to try medication, but thinks that the OB should be the one to prescribe it. Ice cold diet ginger ale, saltines and peppermint tea have been giving me some relief. It also helps if I budget in a half an hour extra before work in the morning to lay down and regroup. My surgeon suggested the sea bands to get me though the weekend at least, so my hubby is picking those up for me tonight. I have a ponytail holder around my wrist right now and as bizarre at it sounds, I think it might be helping some. I had a friend suggest applying ice to the inside of the wrist, but I haven't tried it yet. Sorry this is sort of more complaining and not so much being helpful. I'm just so glad that I'm not the only mommy to be feeling this way!
