I was just thinking that I should update this thread, so thanks for checking in!</p> <p>Eta: I'm sorry you're feeling lousy too.</p> <p>So the short answer is I'm sort of feeling better. I started b6 last week, but it did very little to help (or maybe it did, but I still felt like crap). It is absolutely worst between about 4 and 9 pm-every day last week, I was pretty much incapacitated, and since DH worked evenings every day, I was pretty much in survival mode. Awful, awful, awful- I dont know how you ladies with toddlers do it.</p> <p>It let up a bit on Thursday and Friday, and was more mild on Saturday, but I could feel it coming back last night. I feel nauseous pretty much most of the day, but the nights are worst. I can get by with eating lots of fruit, some carbs, and protien, along with tons of seltzer water and tea during the days, but nothing, not even a nap, helps at night. I talked to my doctor today, and they are calling me in some Zofran today. </p> <p>Thanks so much for your help!</p> <p>@megz06: congrats! Come join us on the April mamas board! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-989706 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 09:52:50 +0000 megz06 989706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 4 weeks pregnant, and I get nighttime nausea and slight bouts throughout the day. I have been eating oatmeal in the morning and eating saltine crackers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-988389 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 13:29:51 +0000 Dandelion 988389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you doing better? Mine let up a little bit and now has decided to show up again today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-977082 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 02:36:01 +0000 erinpye 977082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I was sick before I got a BFP, with my second, it's been more severe (hypremesis both times), but didn't start until 6 weeks and still going strong at 12.5 (first preg sickness lasted until 18 weeks). If you find the usual MS treatments work for you, good! If you're at the place where nothing is working and you can barely get out of bed, don't delay and ask your doc for Zofran/ odansetron. The earlier you get on top of it, the better you'll fare. No matter what, it will pass, you will like food again someday, and you'll have an adorable baby worth all of it. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-976426 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:27:29 +0000 wahine08 976426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And I can't recall why it has to be the one over the other, but I did read it had to be that one. B6 alone may help for the day though! I never tried it alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-976424 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:26:10 +0000 wahine08 976424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: you'll want the Doxylamine and not the Diphen type. It's not a gel cap, it's like a tablet. Super tiny but tastes like hell so drink with a big gulp of water! :happy: good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-974193 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 22:12:30 +0000 delight 974193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I had MS from the day I tested, 10 DPO, until 16 weeks. Some days were better than others, but it was there right from the start. I had a lot of saltines and ginger ale, and also a lot of carbs. I also always felt better after throwing up so I didn't try to hold it in like I usually do since I hate barfing (I know everyone hates barfing). Hope your MS doesn't last, but its a good sign! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-974181 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 22:06:32 +0000 SAHM0811 974181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woohoo! Congrats on the BFP! Hope the MS does down soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-974126 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 21:37:47 +0000 LovelyPlum 974126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you ladies! I did ok today...not great,but I made ot through work. I can no longer stand the smell of bay leaves, but what are you gonna do? Otherwise, eating constantly did me a small bit of good until I could come home and lay down.</p> <p> Quick question: i think I got the wrong unisom :( Actually, I got something that was generic diphenhydramine, and it seems like that is the main ingredient in one type of unisom, but not the other. Should I return it? I'm so bummed!</p> <p>Still going to do b6 tonight, and I really hope that helps!</p> <p>@regberadaisy: @wahine08: @Beebug: @2PeasinaPod: @cascademom: @travellingbee: @Vegmama: thank you!</p> <p>@Bluebonnet: in a week or so. And don't worry, zofran is on the list of things to ask about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-972995 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 13:55:05 +0000 Vegmama 972995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So happy for you! And yes, my food aversions started the week we got our BFP (maybe 1 week later). </p> <p>I found that drinking lots of water was key ... and eating a piece of fruit or some fresh veggies between meals. OH, and embarrassing amounts of sparkling water and ginger ale (I haven't touched the stuff since week 7).</p> <p>These are good signs that your hormones are raging!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-972377 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:27:21 +0000 Dandelion 972377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-972363 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:24:58 +0000 citymouse 972363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my friends is preggo with her third babe, and she always gets MS really quickly. I think everyone is different, I wouldn't necessarily believe the "general rules" about when things start in pregnancy. Mine started around 5 weeks. I too am sensitive to hormone changes! Even for just my period, I would be a raging monster one minute and a weeping mess the next. Lucky DH! ;-)</p> <p>ETA: I ate stouffer's mac and cheese about 3 times a week for a few weeks... only thing I wanted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-972285 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:08:55 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 972285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine kicked in full time at 6 weeks, but I definitely had days of nausea before that.<br /> Ginger ale or sparkling water, ANY plain carbs (mashed potatoes were awesome), and almonds were great for me. Really, anything that even remotely sounded good seemed to help; and I found that as soon as I got hungry, the nausea came back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-972284 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:08:34 +0000 travellingbee 972284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and the only things that helped were eating constantly and eventually zofran. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-972281 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:07:54 +0000 travellingbee 972281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! I did around 4 weeks, then it went away until 6 weeks but it was really mild until about 7 or 8 weeks. Then whoa! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-972275 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:06:12 +0000 googly-eyes 972275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: I was wondering too...

I liked ginger ale and saltines for morning sickness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-972263 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:03:01 +0000 2PeasinaPod 972263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Wait a sec...did you get a BFP too??? :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-972259 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:01:17 +0000 2PeasinaPod 972259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Vitamin B6 helped so much! Congratulations!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-972243 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 10:57:28 +0000 illumina 972243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was sick constantly from around 6wks. I found drinking coke was the only thing that really helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-972157 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 10:36:21 +0000 googly-eyes 972157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I was pretty much constantly nauseous from 3+ weeks (a little more mild) to about 12 weeks, when it tapered off. I had zofran from 6+ weeks after the first appt. Defintely sounds like that could be early m/s. :(</p> <p>There are all kinds of remedies (those sea bands around the wrist, ginger gum, ginger ale, preggie pops, carbs, snacking) but you just have to try them all and find what works for you. Ginger ale worked a little for me but mostly zofran on bad days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-971900 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 09:19:07 +0000 Beebug 971900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think taking B6 helped me too!! </p> <p>And whaaaat @LovelyPlum: !!!! Congrats!!! I missed this BFP!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-971887 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 09:17:21 +0000 LindsayInNY 971887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obviously no firsthand experience but when I was googling B6 over the weekend, like @wahine08: said, I came across a lot of info about it helping with morning sickness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-971885 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 09:16:30 +0000 Bluebonnet 971885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had nausea almost immediately when I was pregnant with LO.</p> <p>I tried ginger (gum, crystallized, candies, etc), sea bands, eating small frequent meals, exercising, preggie pop drops, and sadly nothing really worked. </p> <p>When do you go to your OB? I got a prescription for Zofran and that saved me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-971882 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 09:15:27 +0000 MrsKoala 971882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it a bit around 4 weeks if I delayed eating in any way but the real MS didn't really start until 5w5d. The only thing that has helped for me is taking 50 mg of B6 daily and eating small snacks really frequently. Carbs are going to be your BFFs. I am hoping that this early MS is a great sign for you that your HCG is getting really high already!! Still thinking sticky thoughts for you, hon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-971868 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 09:12:38 +0000 wahine08 971868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Congrats!!! I've been following the July POAS board a little but must've missed this :happy: So excited and happy for you!!</p> <p>As for the morning sickness, mine kicked in around 5-6 wks but my MIL told me hers starts at before 4! She said she got sick way before she missed her period with all 3 of her kids.</p> <p>I know you've probably seen me go on and on about unisom + B6 but it really has saved me. I put up with M/S for about 2-3 weeks before I gave in and I am still taking it (at 16wks)!</p> <p>Eating right before bed and even in the middle of the night seemed like the only other thing that helped me, as well. Constantly. eating. all. day! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-971860 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 09:10:48 +0000 JerricaBenton 971860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ginger! Or ginger candies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-971855 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 09:09:40 +0000 regberadaisy 971855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee &lt;3</p> <p>I know preggo pops worked for a lot of people! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-971853 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 09:09:17 +0000 Dandelion 971853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost threw up last week. So, yes. I've never actually thrown up from MS before, so that was a new feeling for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-onset-morning-sickness#post-971843 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 09:05:25 +0000 LovelyPlum 971843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did anyone else get morning sickness very early on in pregnancy? </p> <p>I know it doesn't typically set in until about 6 weeks, but I'm pretty sure it is visiting me early . I'm 4 weeks today, and for the last few days, I've had near constant nausea. It started sporadically around 7 dpo, and it has only gotten worse since then. I know I'm sensitive to hormone changes, so maybe that explains it?</p> <p>At any rate, I'm thrilled to be pregnant, but if I'm honest, this isn't super fun. Any advice on how to deal? Carbs and eating frequently seem to help, but not a lot. Thanks guys :) </p>
