@ScarletBegonia: Whoohoo! I'm glad 6 weeks wasn't doomsday. I detest vomiting, it's not as bad as a phobia, but I still hate it. Hard sour candies were my friend. I only felt vomity-nauseaus a few times (the rest of the time it was just nausea) and the candies kept it away.

@ScarletBegonia so glad to hear things are going well so far! I'm also really scared about morning sickness. glad to hear some positive stories.
-
Count me on the list of people who never puked, not once! It doesn't happen to everyone - maybe you'll be spared.
-
Just wanted to chime in and say that I never had nausea in my first pregnancy. I'm scared about this pregnancy.

@ScarletBegonia: I too have a huge fear of vomiting and actually found this website after doing a google search. Unfortunately I found out I was pregnant because I was feeling nauseous and panicking that I must have caught something and then I took a pregnancy test and had mixed feelings when it was positive because I was so worried about being sick. I went to ob right away and have been taking generics for zofran and phrenegan and I didn't realize that they were working until I stopped taking them today because of constipation and sure enough I felt horrible. I definitely think that my fears make it worse. It really helps to know I'm not alone and that others understand me. Thanks to everyone or sharing!

Thanks so much to everyone who has replied - it is so nice to know I'm not the only freak who feels this way!! And those who don't have the same fear, you're still so supportive!
I've now made it to 9w3d again with totally minimal nausea so far. I had a bad day a few weeks ago where I was feeling yucky and had to teach a full day's worth of lessons, and I caved and took the Zofran that my friend prescribed me - it did take the edge off but I think it was more the knowledge that I had meds on board that got me through the day. I think as well my nausea is totally linked to sleep - when i get a good night's sleep I rarely have nausea.
I really hope I've been through the worst of it - of course I'm still on google a million times a day reading about people that start morning sickness late....

@ScarletBegonia: I've been wondering how you were getting on! Glad the first tri is being kind to you, I suspect if you haven't had any sickness now, you won't get any.... You're nearly home and dry!
-
@ScarletBegonia: Just found this post and so glad you're making it through with no real sickness!! This is also a fear of mine. Not so much in general as just the timing of this. I just got my BFP this week and I have 4 weddings to photograph in the next 6 weeks. I'm not too worried about this weekend or next weekend, but I have one in Sept at 7 weeks and one in Oct at 11 weeks and I'm soooooooo scared of puking/being sick while I have to be working.

@Mae: Hi! I am now 12 weeks 4 days (according to my NT scan this morning! Yay for a HB!) and I haven't thrown up (knock on wood) and I've really only had about 2 or 3 days of nausea. Deep breathing and drinking ice cold water but mostly eating helped me through those days. At this point I'd say I feel normal 95% of the time, and I keep getting better. I started taking unisom & b6 at about 7 weeks and I'm still taking it, although smaller and smaller chunks of the unisom every night, in view of eliminating it completely. I think it helped a lot.
Good luck with the weddings - hopefully you'll be as lucky as I have been xo

@ScarletBegonia: I'm glad to see your first trimester has been kind to you! Keep up whatever works for you. Sometimes the nausea can spill over into the second tri (which happened with me.)
I am 20 wks and STILL take my unisom, only it's a half tab now and I mostly like it because it helps with my preggo insomnia!
-
@wahine08: thanks I'm so happy I think the gods took pity on me knowing how bad I'd be at handling it! I'm sure I'll get an uber-pukey child to go with my uber-pukey husband as my payback.
I think I'm mostly taking the Unisom for insomnia at the moment too! I'm scared to stop taking it!
