constant nausea taking over my life!!
hi everyone, i feel so bad, for the last 3 weeks i havent been able to go anywhere or have a normal life because i feel so sick all the time and am prone to being sick very suddenly at any moment. i am actually scared to go anywhere! fortunately i gave up work just before finding out i was preg, so i can be at home. has anyone got any tips? i have tried ginger biscuits, doesnt help. i dont feel sick as soon as i wake up and as long as i have cereal very soon after waking i am ok in the mroning, its just later on for the whole day. whether i eat or dont eat, even if i eat small portions!the only thing that seems to help a little is drinking milk, as i think it must line my stomach and fills it a bit without filling me too much. please help anyone, i am only about 8 weeks and have a feeling this aint going away anytime soon!has anyone even had any medcation for sickness, and is this safe?

hope u start feeling better soon hun. xx
i had sickness from week 6 to 16 and found that pregnacare multiviamins helped more than anything else and drinking lots of water helps settle your stomach too.
Hope you feel better soon x
It does help trying to eat something rather than nothing at all though definately.
Lot's of morning sickness does lead to healthy babies i read in an article And i have also read that even though some people have been sick all the way through it's all worth it in the end to see the little bundle of joy.
Good luck.
Sea bands didn't work for me either.
hope everything goes well for you!

What helped for me was eating before I had anything to drink (otherwise the drink would come bk up!), and eating dry things like toast and very plain food for tea like baked beans! Also it did help to get up early and do something, rather than sitting around feeling dodgy and just waiting to be sick dreading it! And making sure there is a toilet there when you go out.
But yours sounds worse than mine, I was only really sick in the mornings. I would see a doctor cos they can prescribe anti-emetics (I think thats it) so you can keep a bit more down and don't become dehydrated. Remember to have lots of fluids, I know it's hard tho.
Good luck! xxx
I am now 37+3 weeks and from week 6 i have suffered from constant nausea and sickness. I got taken into hospital at week 10 and it was discovered i had lost 2 stone in 4 weeks so the drs were concerned. I was put on a drip and given medication. I am still on this medication and it is traditionally used for cancer treatment, very new onto the pregnancy market apparently. I had to have my dose doubled around 25 weeks as my body was getting immune to it.
I had the very severe case apparently and hopefully urs will die down soon but do see ur dr.
I found that drinks lucozade and full fat coke helped me. I was worried about the amount of sugar/caffine etc but drs said it was fine if it was making me feel better.
I was really worried that it would affect my baby and his size but i am now measuring 4 weeks ahead and will most likely be induced before i turn 39 weeks! Tyr not to worry to much there is light at the end of the tunnel!!
Sorry i went on a bit there!!!

Sorry to hear you are feeling rough, you have my sympathies as I experienced the same thing too. I couldn't keep anything down at all, even water. Nothing would make me fee better except being sick, and often that didn't work either. As time went on I found that I could keep down ice lollies and eventually milkshake and was up to 6 pints a day at one point.
The Doctor gave me some medication called Buccastem which you put between your lip and gum and let it dissolve slowly. These eventually made me feel a bit better but I certainly knew about it if I was late in taking the next one!
Talk to your GP, there are things they can prescribe and the sooner you do this the sooner you might find something that works for you.
Good luck!

Give it a try, it might just work for you too!
