Hey, congrats! That's all, sorry!

morning sickness with DS was a BREEZE compared to this time around. It lasted just over a week from 6.5-8 weeks.

I do remember that it lasted pretty much all day, but I was still able to eat.

This time around, it started right at 6 weeks and was touch and go in the beginning. It was to the point where I started worrying something was wrong, because it wasn't all day every day like it was with DS. I would have good days and bad days. I did yakk a ton more this time around. And, lo and behold, I am 10.5 weeks and this week is the worst yet! I caved and took the b6+unisom dose that my OB recommended and it seems to be helping me get by. But DH and I were both hit with a GI bug the past couple of days, so to say this new year has been painfully nauseating is putting it lightly.

I'm going to continue the unisom+b6 combo for at least until I see my OB again next week.

First pregnancy was miserable, but I trucked through weeks 8-14 feeling sick, but never asking for meds.

This time, I started feeling heinous around 5.5/6 weeks and having a busy toddler compounded my misery. I took the max dose of diclegis from weeks 8-16 and felt really nauseous and sensitive to smell, but I didn't vomit, at least. I'm 25 weeks now and well past it, thank God!

But I truly feel for you. With this pregnancy I felt like the ms would never go away.

@Anagram: so they told me that I could take two before bed (and that's what I started on and what I'm on now). And she told me I could also take a pill in the morning and afternoon....so 4 a day? I took that dose at the worst but two at night does the trick now!

@Anagram: yes! That's what I have. I just never needed more, otherwise I'm not sure if I wouldve gotten more or a different med.

I was miserable. It was more the 24/7 nausea that wouldn't go away with anything that was bad for me. I threw up at least once a day, but the constant sick feeling was worse. It was a very dark time for me and I never thought I would get through it. I had times where I didn't even care if the pregnancy continued. Needless to say, I'm so happy that's over with and realize it was just a bad phase. It started to improve around 16 weeks and was pretty much gone by 24/25 weeks. I'm 39.5 weeks now and can eat like a pig!

@Anagram: I was going way over my limit of refills and such with my insurance, so I started having to limit it somewhat

I'm so glad I'm done being pregnant forever.

@Anagram: congrats!!!

If you want a nasty MS story to make you feel better, my worst was around 5 weeks - the flight back from New Orleans for my 30th bday weekend. I had to get more airsick bags from the stewardess 2 times....after using the 3 in our row. On a 3 hour flight. I continue to apologize to those jetblue customers. We landed in Boston and had planned to take the bus home (2 hour ride), but I forced my husband to rent a car at the airport, barfed the entire way home and then ran into the house and barfed all over the floor just outside our bathroom because I couldn't make it. Ugh.

I hope this makes you feel better? pregnancy sucks, but has an awesome outcome.

My morning sickness with both of my kids was awful. I think it was worse the second time around tho. I think it was because I was staying at home and taking care of a toddler where as the first time, I was working. Something about being at home made it worse. Getting out and about, it didn't feel as bad.

It was exactly a year ago, I was in first tri with my daughter so this time of year is bringing back memories. *shudder* I pretty much laid on the couch a lot with my son and watched TV. I ate a TON of McDonald's because it was the only thing I could stomach. I threw up multiple times a day up until like 15 weeks. I banned DH from cooking anything smelly. lol Ugh, so awful.

There was one time I was pregnant with my son and I ate some mac n cheese. My DH decided to cook some kind of soup. I got a whiff of it and just started gagging. DH runs into the kitchen and takes the soup outside but it was too late... I was already running to the toilet. And another time... he had to pull the car over so I could puke in a bush. ugh

Sorry you are so sick! But congrats!!

Ugggh, you guys, these stories are freaking me out

I'm about 6.5 weeks and have been feeling pretty crappy - not much vomiting but just the 24/7 feeling rotten. The main thing is I just really can't eat. I mean, sometimes I get that sick/hungry feeling and I eat something, and then I feel WAY worse. So, my diet has been like: some dry Chex during the morning; for lunch - one chicken nugget, 4 saltines, half a string cheese; then lay on couch trying not to vomit for 3 hours from lunch; dinner- applesauce cup and another chicken nugget and 3 saltines. I mean, really.

I have only been feeling sick for maybe 5 days and I have already lost 3 lbs because I just. can't. eat. I have to figure something out because I do not have the weight to lose, and I cannot lose 3 lbs every 5 days for the rest of this trimester!!

I am very worried, I have to go back to work tomorrow after the holidays. The only way I have been able to cope is when I am sick, I lay in bed/on the couch with total silence, not moving or talking, and that's the only way I can get through it. I have to do a lot of talking, phone calls, etc. at work and that triggers the sickness for me. So I anticipate the not being able to eat will be even worse.

My RE gave me a RX for Zofran, I feel kind of bad taking it because I'm not "that sick" but I guess if it helps me get a few extra calories and survive the workday I need to try it. Going to have husband go pick it up for me today.

I've taken a lot of Zofran in the past and it is a great drug, but it gives me very severe constipation/impaction and THAT makes me nauseous as well! So I dread that.

MS started at 6 weeks and lasted until 22 or 24 weeks. Then it came back at 35 weeks. Was on a death cycle between MS, Zofran, and the resulting constipation but Unisom/B6 did nothing for me. The only thing that helped my nausea was fried or fatty food and carbs. I ate a lot - a lot - of McMuffins, fries, burgers, and fried chicken.
