Nausea kicking in...Whoo Hoo!!!

[Picture.Of.Obedience]

I am getting so sick from everything...havent thrown up yet, but i feel like i need to... i am thankful for the symptoms though..im not complaining.. but man, i almost throw up at any odd smell...

I feel for you! It is the worst feeling. It hit me like clockwork every day at 5:00. If it didn't though, I started to get a little worried. It was like someone flipped a switch at 14 weeks though. I haven't felt sick since then. I hope it gets better for you soon.

eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat...







Eat little bits of food, ALL the time.

Seriously--just try it and see if it works.
You'll still be woozy, but it makes a MAJOR difference in HOW woozy...

The emptier the stomach, the sicker the sick! *grin* During my first trimester, I'll puke on an empty stomach, but if I'm contantly nibbling on healthy foods (a few almonds here, a half slice of toast w/ peanut butter there, a little bit of yogurt there, a touch of steamed veggies there...) then I'm generally tolerable.

A good dose of protein before bed often really helps the next morning--something you can try, anyhow. I usually do a spoonful of peanut butter (the healthy natural kind, of course, not the nasty stuff with the hydrogenated oils [poison!] and sugar and stuff). Another great one is a healthy yogurt--get a full-fat one, because your pregnant body needs good healthy fats to grow baby's brain, and the fat in cow's milk helps your body process ALL the nutrients in it ("Brown Cow" is an AWESOME brand if you have it in your area--whole milk and sweetened with maple syrup!)

Another thing that some find helpful for combatting nausea (and is safe for pregnancy) is ginger--in the form of tea or supplement pills or fresh grated or whatever. I have a friend (not a healthy eater, and I don't recommend her diet--heehee!) who survives her first trimesters on a diet of gingersnaps and lemondrops!

Peppermint isn't recommended for pregnancy, but spearmint is ok--so a tea with spearmint is another great grab--I'm a green tea with mint fan, personally...

And yeah, the best part is knowing that for most women, the nausea (and fatigue) usually subsides around 12-14 weeks. I'm 12 weeks and really noticing a HUGE difference in my nausea--for a while there, the sight of either black tea, or salsa, or oatmeal (I know, weird food aversions, huh?) would send me into stomach convulsions!~


Love in Him,
Molly

Was so sick with my daughter and son and didn't get that sick with the baby that we lost. I can't believe that I am now saying, I can't wait to throw up It should kick in within the next week or so, it was always at the 7-8 week mark for me.

i was fine at 5 weeks and most of the 6th week, but now that i am going into the 7th week, its starting to really kick in...

Good luck to you, girl!

Morning sickness is my worst enemy It is a big reason why this will be our last baby....... Though I think I get it worse than most.

Molly gave some great advice. Also remember if those things don't help, you can talk to your docter about medication. (meds were the only thing that kept me out of the hospital).

Congrats on a sign of a healthy pregnancy!

Eating every few hours helped me with my nausea. I also liked Preggie Pops. I like the sour flavored ones. I tried the ginger ones but personally thought they tasted gross. Popsicles also made me feel better.

mmm i was thinking of some fruit pops!

I didn't get nauseated so long as I ate often. So I did. Also, fruity tums! They make tummy settle down AND are a calcium supplement which is important during pregnancy especially.

 

[alaskamolly]

Well, bad news on that one (though I do like the taste of fruity tums, too--'specially the lime green ones--heehee), but the form of calcium in tums is practically insoluble...meaning, about the only thing it's going to do, if you don't pass it straight out, is help you get a nice case of stones!



Love,
Molly

mstodd919 vbmenu_register("postmenu_10246863", true); That's so different than me! The first time I got morning sickness I burst into tears, called my husband at work and he nearly came home to see me! I was very sick for about a month and a half, couldn't hardly even move out of bed without feeling even worse.

Never had stones, but what a thought!
