re: First time mommy due in February!
3 postsposted 18th Jul
First of all congrats... I am 8wks and 6 days along (due Feb 22,09) and I have been sick since before I knew I was preggers and we found out at 4 wks. The doctor told me to eat two crackers (saltines) before I even raise my head from the pillow. I know it sounds crazy but it has worked on two occasions when I have remembered. I'm told that after the first trimester things will get better and I am seriously hoping they are right. What helps me some is....well nothing now that I think of it but mineral water seems to calm my tummy some times. All in all I wish you luck and keep your head up I know I am trying to.

With my first pregnancy, I had morning sickness all the way through! I enjoyed the pregnancy though (of course not the puking, but I made the best of everything else)... It turns enjoyable when you start to feel better, usually around the 10th or 11th week when the placenta starts taking over... Even just getting lots of rest sometimes makes you feel better. But its really whatever you make it. Im 10 weeks pregnant with my second and I am SO excited... I didnt have a 16 month old running around for my first pregnancy so I got a lot more rest, but like I said, if you make the best of everything, its really up to you how bad or great your pregnancy experience is!!

I feel nausas every day, but i dont throw up every day. there have only been a few times where i made it to the "breaking point" lol. Just feeling sick, but not actually getting sick, is pretty common. With my first pregnancy, it was non stop puking all the way through, this time, i have only been nausas most of the time, not so much puking. lol. Thank goodness though. but yeah, just try to eat several small meals during the day instead of 3 big ones. just dont let yourself get too hungry b/c thats what makes me sick. i wait too long and then wham, ive got to run to the bathroom... so try to eat several small meals a day, and if youre like me and having TONS of food aversions, kind of force yourself to eat something healthy like fruit or something. once you start eating it, you'll be suprised how fast the aversion goes away. lol. good luck to ya!

I LOVE the slap them in the face comment! That would work I think, but if not, I will be one of the many fellow preggers that will gladly tell you that crackers don't work. I started finding relief about week 11. I had MS everday- morning, noon and night to the point that it was easier to just go without food and be lethargic rather than eat just to yack again. But I don't reccommend it becuase I don't want your OB to yell like mine did. LOL! It will get better, it's just hard to see that right now. I found that fresh fruit helped me-pears, nectarines, plums-anything juicy. That was about it. Good luck and keep your chin up-it does get better-I promise

I know what you mean. My doctor told me to get this OTC nausea medication. It's been the only thing that works for me and you only need a little. It's called Emetrol, it's the only way I can get through a day. You can find it at happy harry's. Good look due date buddy.

Hey I just joined this site. But I wanted to respond to your post. I have a son that is 11 yrs old already. And I am now three months pregnant. That doesn't make me an expert by FAR. But I was sick maybe twice with my son the whole pregnancy. Well, this one is making up for it, I have been sick since before I found out I was pregnant. My sister in law told me she was that bad too until her Doctor suggested Ginger Root. You can find it in the vitamin section, and the is always Ginger Ale, now I know why Ginger Ale settle your stomach as it comes from Ginger Root. But I did this and haven't been sick ONE day since then. And there is always the RX that your baby doc can give you, it is Fenergan. It works miracles too. Good luck with your pregnancy. And I started really enjoying mine about four months on. You will be fine! Take care, Tammy
