I always had dry Cheerios around during first tri, and Unisom + B6 took the edge off for a few weeks (then I switched to Zofran). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-415070 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 13:57:55 +0000 prettylizy 415070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahaha, awe, have fun, just remember, worst case scenario, you it will be over someday and you will have a cute little baby in your arms! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-415069 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 13:57:53 +0000 shopaholic 415069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vitamin B6 helped me a bit.

I hope I am as lucky as you, that would mean only one more week of this nonsense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-415052 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 13:54:28 +0000 oliviaoblivia 415052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>34+week preggo here reporting in.....<br /> It gets better :)<br /> My nausea passed at 11 weeks to the day. I literally woke up better that morning. I can eat just about what I want (no chicken with bones in it though). All those gross smells don't really bother me too much any more.</p> <p>I just had DH do anything food related for the first 11 weeks. Now it's normal again.<br /> You will soon have other fun side effects to look forward to though... :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-415038 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 13:48:31 +0000 sea_bass 415038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I used to love all kinds of fish and seafood (erm, hence the user name) now even seeing them on the TV or in the fridge sends me puking. Will I never like sea food again? We need some Mamas in here to tell us if they ever go away!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-415034 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 13:46:43 +0000 Ra 415034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sea_bass: I wonder this, too! I cannot open my refrigerator without throwing up. Kitchen smells are the worst! Am I going to have to avoid the kitchen my entire pregnancy or will it get better after the first tri? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414639 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 11:06:14 +0000 sea_bass 414639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit: I often wonder when I am out of the first tri if I will ever be able to smell these things without barfing? Or will I be changed for life?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414612 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:57:43 +0000 wheres_c 414612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sea_bass: Oh my gosh! The stinking lunches were the worst in the first tri! I can never smell healthy choice asian delights ever again. BARF! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414467 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:05:46 +0000 Revel 414467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, it is the worst! I found that eating before I got out of bed helped me, and also taking b6. I would take 25mg when I woke up, and 25mg when I went to bed, plus my prenatal had a small amount in it and I took that at lunch. I would clear it with your dr first but it's a pretty common recommendation and is a safe supplement under 100mg a day.</p> <p>Also, I was only sick for about 3 weeks! I remember being so depressed and just crying after work thinking I was going to feel sick until 12 weeks, but I was really only sick from weeks 6-9. This is not the case for everyone but you might get lucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414421 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 09:32:19 +0000 Mrs. Blue 414421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: @sorrycharlie: @mrs. wagon: And now, I want some red Sour Patch Kids. Thanks, ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414417 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 09:31:10 +0000 Mrs. Blue 414417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm soooo sorry! Morning sickness has been my least favorite part of pregnancy so far. Hang in there; this too. I wrote a post on the blog about some of the things that did or didn't work for me. Maybe some of it will help you!</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/09/25/surviving-morning-sickness/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/09/25/surviving-morning-sickness/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414399 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 09:22:28 +0000 heartonastring 414399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eek..sorry to hear the nausea has started :(</p> <p>I found saltines to be incredibly helpful. I also found massive relief in slicing up a piece of fresh ginger, putting it in the bottom of a covered mug and filling it with hot water. I would sip on that all day long and (a) it helped tremendously with the nausea, and (b) my colleagues were none the wiser, as I kept the lid on my mug so it just looked like I was drinking tea or coffee.</p> <p>Good luck - hopefully your bout with nausea will be short lived :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414393 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 09:15:44 +0000 Silva 414393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ginger ale and saltines!</p> <p>I remember before I was pregnant thinking that the symptoms couldn't be *that* bad and that the joy and excitement would out-weigh them for me....ha! The fatigue was my worst symptom, and this coupled with the other big changes in my body had me feeling pretty frustrated. I remember thinking over and over again "I don't feel like myself!" and "this just isn't my body anymore!"</p> <p>I read a great quote in an article- I don't have it with me so I can't give it to you exactly, but it basically said: "Pregnancy is not just a transition- it is a change from a known self in a known world to an unknown self in an unknown world."</p> <p>welcome to the unknown! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414385 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 09:07:27 +0000 Bookish 414385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had very little morning sickness, but I have found that if I don't have at least a little snack in my stomach at all times, I just feel *wrong.* I've only puked once, yay, and I think it's starting to abate, but snacks are definitely my friend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414383 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:59:50 +0000 mrs. wagon 414383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: @Mrs. Lovejoy: omg sour patch kids were my go-to too!! suck on them til they get sweet, then spit them out!!</p> <p>I also kept a bag of dry cheerios in my bag at all times. Whenever nausea hit I'd eat a mouthful and it would help a LOT. For me, the trick was to never let my stomach get empty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414382 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:54:12 +0000 JoJoGirl 414382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: It definitely comes in waves. Some people with time of day (morning!), others when they get hungry, etc. I usually felt worst around dinnertime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414381 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:53:02 +0000 Cherrybee 414381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its gone again now!! So weird!!! I'm under no illusions, this is just the start.... and I'm delighted! I'm taking it to mean things are going well in there. Remind me how happy it makes me next time I'm complaining about feeling sick!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414375 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:43:34 +0000 blackbird 414375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Feel better soon! I found that eating a handful of honey nut cheerios in the middle of the night when I got up to pee and then again before I even got out of bed helped keep the acidity in my stomach to a minimum. I hope you find something that works for you! I also drank a lot of ginger ale. Not sure if it helped or if i just *thought* it did. But water wasn't my fave </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414365 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:31:57 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 414365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: haha sour patch kids have been my go to as well! so random, but once I started craving them and they helped me feel better, its been never-ending! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414363 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:30:29 +0000 travelgirl1 414363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw it's so awful isn't it? Like pp have said, food is often key I kept crackers by my bed and grazed every time I woke up. Also don't be afraid to ask your doctor for meds if it's really bad. I had s horrible time with it bit shudder to think how much worse it would have been without my amazing meds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414352 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:13:27 +0000 autumnlove 414352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, nausea sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414351 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:11:04 +0000 sorrycharlie 414351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally agree on the carbs. All I did was eat. And drink ginger ale and Gatorade (water made it worse for me). Also sucked on sour patch kids and then spit them out after they weren't sour anymore :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414349 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:09:27 +0000 JoJoGirl 414349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Simple carbs!! Bread, crackers, toast! And welcome! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414335 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 07:52:42 +0000 tlcbaby 414335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snacking seemed to help me a bit, too - if I got too hungry I always felt worse! I honestly don't think you can explain to someone what nausea during pregnancy feels like unless they have experienced it themselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414332 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 07:49:59 +0000 heffalump 414332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like highwire my trick was keeping my belly full. It didn't help with the weight gain.... but I didn't puke once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414329 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 07:45:06 +0000 DillonLion 414329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you eat a snack? That was the only thing that helped me during those weeks of unending nausea. (Or maybe a candy to suck on?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414328 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 07:44:50 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 414328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aw I'm sorry! Yes, its bad.. but that means your babe is developing and growing so just keep that in mind ( I know it's hard ). </p> <p>Drink ginger ale, and figure out what you can stomach without feeling like you have to vomit. Usually its the dry stuff (like crackers, pretzels, etc.) Coffee may be the culprit - try and cut that out and see if it helps? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414325 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 07:40:40 +0000 sea_bass 414325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha congrats on your first pregnancy symptom! Just wait until your colleagues start whipping out their stinking lunches! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-has-started-and-wow-just-wow#post-414321 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 07:35:56 +0000 Cherrybee 414321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was drinking my morning decaff, when a wave of nausea hit me. "That's funny!" I thought, "My first pregnancy symptom!" </p> <p>Cut to now - I'm sitting at my desk, opposite my boss, and I swear I'm going to vomit. I've already gone to the bathroom several times and I can't keep disappearing. I'm trying to sip water and stay calm but I may just barf in the bin. </p> <p>Why did nobody warn me about this?! Oh wait, you did - and I said "Bring it on!!" </p> <p>Oh wow. Oh wow oh wow! </p>
