I was extremely ill with both, all 9 months, on Zofran and had to get an IV because I was so dehydrated, and mine was also worse at night. I ended up not able to take a prenatal because it would make me vomit up everything, and a little food is better in your system than nothing at all. Zofran helps with the actual vomiting most of the time, but not the horrendous, constant nausea. Some things that helped a little for me were: chewing spearmint gum ONLY (other flavors were not ok for me), cold things like slurpees and Popsicles would settle my stomach a little for a few minutes. It's apparently common with HG (hyperemesis gravidarum- what I had), to crave coke or Pepsi, and the nurse told me that if that was what I could keep down, I had a free pass to drink it all day long. I didn't- but I had one a day, or a coke slurpee. I could stomach super cold red Gatorade. Water was a no-go and caused vomiting, but adding a splash of lemonade or cranberry juice worked. Try and stay hydrated as hard as that is, because dehydration can make you feel worse. I promise, you'll get through it. It seems like a long road, but the day will come when you're in the hospital, cuddling your sweet baby, and chowing down on the entire hospital food menu. Hang in there :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1916297 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 12:36:17 +0000 macintosh 1916297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Iced Tea: Thanks for asking. I'm in my 12th week now but unfortunately things are not really any better. During my 10th week things seemed to get even worse so I ended up on Zofran. It helps, but I still feel really sick almost every night between dinner and bedtime. I'm really hoping this lets up soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1916063 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 22:58:58 +0000 Iced Tea 1916063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: how have you been feeling? I hope it is working for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1892617 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 22:58:01 +0000 SerenaSF 1892617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had horrible all-day nausea until almost 14 weeks. It's not gone quite yet, but it's been steadily getting better since then (I'm almost 16 weeks). I mostly feel sick at night now. Hoping it will be gone completely by 18! </p> <p>For what it's worth, I didn't think the unisom/b6 combo I took nightly was helping since I was still so sick, so I stopped taking it. BAD IDEA. I felt much much much worse the next day. I'm still taking it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1892588 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 21:51:55 +0000 delight 1892588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last pregnancy I felt better from 16 weeks on but had one week of nausea again around week 22. </p> <p>Right now I'm about 11w and it seems to have been better the last couple days but I've thrown up a lot more than last time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1892553 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 20:59:02 +0000 macintosh 1892553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Iced Tea: I went ahead and took the max dose of diclegis today. I was extra sleepy, but happily not as nauseated! Hoping it keeps working :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1892286 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 16:40:57 +0000 Rockies11 1892286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: it's pretty normal to have morning sickness until 16 weeks, especially if it was bad in the first tri! Mine went all the way through :( :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1892112 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 15:05:45 +0000 Iced Tea 1892112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: I take diclegis. I tried unisom and b6 first; diclegis worked better for me. Maybe because it's extended release. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1890637 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 15:28:51 +0000 namaste 1890637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started to feel a little better after 15 weeks but it still came and went. I'm now 27 weeks and I still get nauseous/vomit a couple of times a week. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1890094 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 10:48:04 +0000 78h2o 1890094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Iced Tea: are you taking diclegis or unisom? Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1890085 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 10:44:14 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1890085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine eased up around 16 weeks. Hope it doesn't last so long for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1890081 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 10:42:03 +0000 Iced Tea 1890081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to take the max dose (that's 2 before bed, 1 first thing in the morning, 1 in the afternoon) for it to control my nausea. I worked up to it, adding a pill at a time, and it did make me drowsy at first, but it was worth it to get a handle on the unending nausea. I found the drowsiness improved as I got used to the meds. </p> <p>My midwife said it will be slightly less effective if your stomach isn't empty but still worth taking. So I never concerned myself about having an empty stomach. That would have been too hard. </p> <p>Numerous times I felt so much better that I tried reducing my dose, usually to have bad nausea come roaring back. My nausea actually started easing up at 14 weeks. And improved enough to reduce meds by 18 weeks. I'm now 21 weeks and still take it at bedtime. I am getting mild nausea in the evenings (when the meds wear off?), but it is manageable. </p> <p>I'm so sorry you are still suffering. I know how terrible it is. I hope you can find a solution that gets you through. Once I did, I finally started to enjoy my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1890000 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 10:11:40 +0000 snowjewelz 1890000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I def started to feel better after 12 weeks. I hope you get better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1889983 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 10:01:04 +0000 cascademom 1889983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first pregnancy, I had nausea from 6 weeks until 14-15 weeks. With this one, I've been nauseous since BFP. Today's 6 weeks with this pregnancy and the nausea's been bad this morning. This munchkin doesn't like donuts. Whenever I try them as a carb to call my stomach, I end up feeling sicker than before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1889912 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 09:34:32 +0000 Anagram 1889912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: I had 24/7 nause from week 6 to week 22. I was on Zofran from weeks 8-22, but after week 17 I was able to cut down on the amount of Zofran I was taking because I started to slowly improve.</p> <p>Like, I still felt sick all the time but slightly less sick every week until the end of week 22 when I started feeling normal again. I was SO HAPPY it went away because I was starting to think I would be sick until I deliver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1889910 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 09:33:52 +0000 Ash 1889910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: I only took the combo at night because of the unisom... It lessened it but I still threw up here and there. I hope you find relief! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1889902 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 09:31:12 +0000 78h2o 1889902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: When did you take it? I am self-medicating with 50mg B6 morning and night, and 12.5mg (1/2 tab) unisom at night. I'm wondering if I need to take more or ask for a Rx? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1889889 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 09:26:43 +0000 skibobrown 1889889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it all 9 months with my pregnancy. It became more bearable sometime around the halfway point of my pregnancy, but I had to stay on Zofran for the entire time if I didn't want to be a puking mess :-(</p> <p>I hope this is not what you're in for. My doctor told me my experience was very rare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1889837 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 08:48:07 +0000 loki 1889837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>as soon as 6 weeks hit, i had all day nausea with pretty frequent vomiting. i'm 13w2d and no signs of it letting up :( i'm on diclectin and had to up my dosage so i take one in the morning, one before lunch and two at night... i found after time the medication stopped working and i had to up it. now i find it is completely random. sometimes it works great, other times, not at all. i am prayingggggggggg these symptoms go away in the next week or so. and i'm hoping you have a much easier time and they let up for you soon!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1889817 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 08:28:39 +0000 illumina 1889817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was nauseous all the way through, though around 20 weeks I went from feeling sick to actually being sick, which was preferable because at least it was out of the way for the rest of the day then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1889810 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 08:25:30 +0000 MrsKoala 1889810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was nauseous all day every day until 20 weeks. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1889728 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 07:02:17 +0000 Ash 1889728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: I took unisom+b6....

I know a few people who had it bad, and it got better between weeks 13 and 15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1889691 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 06:12:05 +0000 blackbird 1889691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time, I felt better around 11 weeks. I'm 9 weeks 2 days and have good days and bad days. Yesterday was a bad day so I should have a few good ones now. The diclegis works great for me (usually) but it does make me more tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1889689 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 06:11:39 +0000 78h2o 1889689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started to feel a little better at 13 weeks, but was still throwing up daily until 14-16 weeks. Somewhere in there I started feeling a whole lot better. I hope you feel better soon. I am 6 weeks now with #2 and taking unisom/b6...it's helping, but I am really hoping I start feeling better around 13 weeks again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1889684 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 05:46:24 +0000 FaithFertility 1889684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt better around 12 weeks, but still had horrible food adversions, that actaully sick around sometimes @30weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1889675 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 04:57:04 +0000 erwoo 1889675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt better around 14-16 weeks with both pregnancies. Just a few more weeks. Make sure you eat little portions and eat often. It really helps curb the nausea and always carry a little snack with you when you go out. Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blergh-nausea#post-1889657 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 01:45:01 +0000 Littlebit 1889657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had horrible nausea until around 24 weeks, unfortunately.
