Nauseous all day every day, crazy food aversions but only gagging- I actually wish I could vomit!</p> <p>Please be over soon... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like/page/2#post-1537755 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:27:12 +0000 mrsrain 1537755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started almost as soon as I got my BFP. At first it was just nausea, and was easily handled by keeping food in my stomach. Each week it got worse. It got to the point where I could not keep anything down and was losing a lot of weight. Thankfully Zofran got me through my first trimester, and my MS didn't last beyond about 15 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like/page/2#post-1537734 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:17:16 +0000 loveisstrange 1537734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Non-existent? I was nauseous for all of maybe 3 days at around 6 weeks. No vomiting. No food aversions. Not really an issue. </p> <p>Don't throw things at me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like/page/2#post-1537726 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:14:36 +0000 snowjewelz 1537726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm scared now... I'm only 2 weeks in :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like/page/2#post-1537721 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:12:40 +0000 Cole 1537721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Morning sickness has been the bane of my existence for the past 6-8 weeks. I was queasy from weeks 4-6 and then it really kicked in. Finding medication and a dose that worked really helped but I am still losing weight at this point and I am 12.5 weeks. A good day is only vomiting in the morning and needing to sleep through the afternoon to avoid the afternoon misery with a nice 3-4 hour break where I can actually do something productive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537648 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 15:53:01 +0000 Boheme 1537648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All day every day until around 16 weeks, but I almost never threw up. I had a major aversion to all things with any kind of tomato based sauce - pasta, pizza, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537569 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 15:28:17 +0000 Pumuckl 1537569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: interesting about the humming. I'll have to try that next time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537544 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 15:22:03 +0000 lovehoneybee 1537544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: I actually don't think that's uncommon! I read a tip from someone (on WB, I think...) about humming while brushing your teeth to help not be nauseous/vomit. Never worked for me, though, I was always dry heaving. I still do, sometimes!</p> <p>The first time I threw up when I was pregnant was before I even tested. The smell of bacon triggered it. I didn't throw up a ton, but only because I tried to keep something--usually almonds--in my stomach at all times. I was nauseous all of the way through to the minute I delivered, and threw up probably 1-2x a week (and A LOT during labor). I also had major food aversions. I could rarely touch meat of any kind (even bacon, which I LOVED). Eggs and anything fried, pan or otherwise was a no-go. I was okay with carbs--in the form of plain pasta noodles with a little bit of butter, no other sauce at first, and in the form of Mac and Cheese at the end. Basically I ate peanut butter sandwiches the whole time, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537526 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 15:15:55 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1537526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was gross. From 6 weeks - 10 weeks, I had all-day nausea and tons of dry-heaving, and then from 10 weeks to 16 weeks, I had vomiting daily. Diclectin pills made it possible to eat, but a lot still came back up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537454 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 15:04:10 +0000 Pumuckl 1537454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: it is :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537427 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:58:33 +0000 LovelyPlum 1537427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awful. It started 5 days before my BFP, and it didn't let up until around 18 weeks. I didn't often throw up, but the nausea was debilitating. I felt like I was losing touch with reality, I was so out of it. All that sounded good were sour things, yogurt, and really cold fruit. Zofran made it bearable, but didn't take it away completely. It eased for a while, but I've been nauseous on and off since about 30 weeks again. It's nowhere near as bad now, but it's still not great or fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537401 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:55:27 +0000 Adira 1537401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: Toothpaste is gross! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537381 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:50:04 +0000 HLK208 1537381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Horrible. With my first, I threw up every day until 38 weeks, with my second, I threw up 3-4 times a day until 35 weeks and finally with this pregnancy, I took zofran daily and still do at 24 weeks. I probably had hyperemesis with my 1st and 2nd pregnancy but I only lost about 7 pounds during the first trimester. My OB diagnosed me with it this time though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537378 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:49:36 +0000 Grace 1537378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nauseous all day except between 10-2. Like a never ending hangover from 6-16 weeks. Only threw up once though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537376 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:49:21 +0000 Pumuckl 1537376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I was dry heaving all through my pregnancy while brushing my teeth. Isn't that totally weird? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537365 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:46:25 +0000 Adira 1537365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was pretty non-existent. I had some nausea when driving or brushing my teeth (so random), but that was pretty much it! I just ate enough to keep it at bay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537358 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:45:22 +0000 Charm54 1537358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It came only at night time, which was a blessing because I could sleep right through it. Nausea only </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537350 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:43:23 +0000 Sapphiresun 1537350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It completely bypassed me in the first trimester, then at week 14 it hit, and I threw up every time I stood up, so ended up just laying on the couch and skipping work for a week until I got dicletin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537198 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:07:24 +0000 matador84 1537198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS, until about week 12, everything made me almost puke, but not quite. Especially eggs and raw chicken...GAG.</p> <p>With DD, I had morning sickness my whole pregnancy, and a ton of stuff would randomly make me dry heave. Sometimes just looking at food made me want to run for the pot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537184 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:04:39 +0000 MoonMoon 1537184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Debilitating nausea, heightened sensitivity to smells, loss of appetite, but very little throwing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537165 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:01:15 +0000 fancyfunction 1537165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dry heaved every morning in the first tri. Only threw up a few times - of course one of them was at work ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537150 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:58:41 +0000 lawbee11 1537150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not bad. I only threw up once during my entire pregnancy. I had a lot of food aversions, but not a ton of nausea. It was worst from 6-11 weeks, then pretty much went away completely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537137 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:55:45 +0000 MrsStar 1537137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was horrible, lasted from 6-17 weeks and it was all day every day. I had to keep a container by the bed because as soon as I woke up I started puking. I would throw up at least 10 times a day (and if it was only 10 times then I considered it a good day!) I couldn't keep anything in my stomach until after 5pm when my stomach finally settled enough to eat, I tried anti-nausea pills but they came straight back up when I swallowed them. Even ended up getting IV fluids because I was so dehydrated. I was super grateful when it was over! The rest of my pregnancy was good though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537100 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:48:26 +0000 Mrs. M 1537100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hell! I was sick for the first 16 weeks with DD (and randomly after that throughout the rest of the pregnancy). I'm currently still sick at 22 weeks with Baby #2. It is one of the main reasons we are stopping at 2 children. Taking care of a toddler while being sick for almost 5-months straight hasn't been enjoyable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537087 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:45:34 +0000 Weagle 1537087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I was dreading that part, too. But it's been totally different so far! My worst symptoms have been extreme lack of patience and headaches :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537084 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:45:25 +0000 sandy 1537084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had all day nausea from week 6 through week 20. I threw up a few times every week and dry heaved a lot. I commuted an hour at the time and would drive with a a paper cup in my car to throw up in on the drive. I couldn't drink water bc I would throw it up so I would force myself to eat ice. Sucking on candy helped a lot (ginger didn't do much for me). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537073 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:42:36 +0000 Anagram 1537073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: that gives me hope. I'm dreading being pregnant again, because I don't know how I can go through that again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537061 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:40:36 +0000 Jenn23 1537061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Constant nausea and dry heaving every morning for a few months. Never got sick more than a few times, but always felt like it. Had food aversions to pretty much all meats and couldn't stand the smell of the inside of our fridge. Almost every time I opened the fridge, I'd run for the sink. Good times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537040 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:38:06 +0000 Smurfette 1537040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: ha! Not ready for that yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-ms-like#post-1537017 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:31:14 +0000 Littlebit 1537017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never threw up, but I basically felt like I had the worlds worst hangover, all day, every day. It was horrific. I finally got put on a prescription at 8 weeks and I've felt great ever since! I got occasional nausea at night when the medication wore off, but I haven't had that in a couple weeks so I think I'm in the clear! </p>
