How would you describe your Morning Sickness?

[menageriemom]

- I don't feel like I need to run to the toilet (and I haven't been sick so far)
- There is no particular food that turns my stomach
- There is no particular food that makes me feel better
- It's not like a faint/hunger feeling

Could have written this myself!!
It seems that I am more prone to 'evening sickness' so far the last three days. It's like a general nausea/sick feeling but I don't start to salivate or get super sick like I'm going to puke. I've also been sick before I get out of bed. I have really no general food aversions yet, but if I really want something - I'll have it - and then I cannot think about it again! Currently I'm wasting a huge jar of hot salsa and a big container of hot and sour soup because of this

Mine's a constant nausea that gets worse when I get very hungry. It started this week and initially only came on from midday onwards; the last couple days it's been from morning til night though.
Haven't upchucked yet, but came close when my cat threw up in front of me! It's not waves of nausea, just a constant presence...

Hehehe, rolled over in bed the other night and put my hand in warm kitten vomit bleurgh!!!

I'd describe mine as a pain in the ass!!! Its nausea from the time I wake up until I go to sleep. I don't throw up, I'm just really nauseous. My mouth waters, I don't feel like eating, sometimes when I eat I get full really easily which makes me more nauseous. I have foods I can't eat...like chocolate...and no cravings for anything in particular. My nose is REALLY sensitive and certain smells make me nauseous.

this is exactly how i feel too, from the moment i wake up to the mo i go to sleep.. its really starting to depress me! ive tried everything, id do anything for just one normal day so i could just feel human again... i cant even face getting up for a shower most mornings (yuk) or putting my make up on.. with the amount of woman that get this you would think scientists would of thought of somthing by now

Thanks for all the replies so far ladies.... I've read them all out to OH and he us feeling very sympathetic towards all of us.

I've had to call in sick today...I can barely stand up without feeling awful. It's so horrible. Come on placenta; hurry up and take over for me! Can't take this for an indefinite number of weeks!

How about some feel better soon dust for all of us....

 

[Leeny]

I'm off work with it too today. I'm either feeling like I'm going to be sick or I'm actually being sick. It's worse than I imagined it would be. HayleyJA- I can't wait for it to finally stop too, bring on 12 weeks or so! X

Hi Hayley!

Mine is like a hangover and usually kicks in when I am hungry. Yesterday myself and OH were going to bring Max out for a walk and have a bacon butty and a tea but we were delayed as the washing machine started to leak so by the time we went out I was feeling really rough. This rough feeling really lasted all day because of not eating quick enough.

I gets waves of nausea and when I feel like this I feel like the way I am with a hangover. If I had a hangover I would go and make myself sick and would usually feel better but I know from the last pregnancy that I felt twice as rough after being sick so I am trying to 'refuse the puke'. Lol

My OH said I was way worse the last time and I agree with him. He said I was gererally unwell from the moment I got up until I went to bed. This time I can cope (if it doesn't get any worse).

The only food aversion I am having is salmon and I am craving chicken (like last time). I am also eating a lot of apples and oranges.

Hope you feel better soon. Can you sleep today while your OH looks after April?

 

[HayleyJA]

Thanks.... Yes, thankfully April is still going to her grandparents and OH will be 'working from home' at their house so he can work undistracted. I think I will snooze and try to snack all day! x x x

Good idea. I always found sleeping made me feel a whole lot better. Do you have the sea bands as well? They are very good too

 

[laura n bump]

mine only happens when i dont eat..

if i dont eat breakfast my stomach will start twisting and turning..

the sight of ground beef made me throw up..

comes and goes tho!

i'm the same if i don't eat my stomach starts twisting and turning .. but 9times out of 10 i'm actually sick so i try eat little and often.

- my sickness comes and goes i can have 5 days with NOTHING then all of a sudden if i eat something baba don't like i bring it back up, and then for 3 days my stomach is sensitive to everything i eat. No matter what advice i've been given nothing seems to work so if anyone has any advice i'll gladly try it all!!!!!!

 

[glenoakgirl]

my nausea started today....no throwing up but the thought of food is killing me!!! Yuck, but I guess I am happy to be yucky

 

[Mama627]

I guess it feels like eating bad shell-fish on a cruise without wearing sea-bands.

Nauseous ALL the time, with occasional waves that send you running to the bathroom ready to puke... but then it usually subsides. I've only been sick a couple times, both were after eating scallops.

Omg! My cat puked in front of me about 3 hours ago, and as I was cleaning it up I had to keep telling myself to not look at it!

But yea, I feel a constant nausea. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being normal and 10 being food poisoning, I'd say it's a 3 or 4. It is annoying because while it isn't awful and doesn't make me puke, it's always there. I also have heartburn every day (I used to have this pretty regularly prior to preg, so it may be unrelated). My biggest thing is that when I feel sicker than a 3 or 4, instead of puking, I poop. I have said this 10000 times on this forum... I have become a poop machine. Anywhere from 3-8 times a day, I poop. Poop poop poop

 

[NatashaZ]

My friends call me the Poop Camel because I never poop, especially when I am stressed out. The fact that I am pooping every day, not to mention several times a day, is really impressive.

 

[Nel1982]

Very interesting read, as I have been describing the way I am feeling as motion sickness.

It started at the weekend and I have not been sick or felt the need to run to the bathroom but I get waves of nausea... usually if i wake in the night and then again in the evening. I am still eating plenty but have been finding it difficult to identify what I fancy to eat.

 

[oboeverity]

Poop camel, lol!

Mine is constantly 'there'. I'd describe it at a mucusy, slimy presence at the back of my throat that worsens in waves.... like when you read in the car, only worse...

 

[jamiesWifey]

ive never had morning sickness this is my 2nd baby. never once been sick never felt sick either maybe im a weird one lol or just lucky good luck with the pregnancys xx

 

[Claudia83]

I'd say hangover w/ a bit of food poisoning mixed in (the whole food part). I still get hot flashes here and there and it feels like the room might start spinning. Morning Sickness= The Bitch. No one wants it, no one likes it and it doesn't go away until it feels like it.

 

[RyliesMummy]

Thats a good way of describing it, motion sickness.
I however have 'up chucked' many a time. I can never quite get up the stairs fast enough so I resort to puking in my back yard! Poor Oh was stood out there with a hose pipe for about an hour yesterday

Mine's worse on an evening though...

 

[mumzy2be<3]

the best way to explain it for me was with my first pregnancy my son, it felt like i had 6 months of food poison and he last 3 months left like a hang over for me lol !

but this time i only had felt sick when it was hot thats sick havent had much sickness at all only felt sick for 6 weeks but i felt sick when it was a hot say i get ill when its a hot day any way and yeh didnt feel sick with this one at all i m just very dizzy fainty and light head due to my low iron :/

 

[v31984]

id say its like the worst hangover ever and trust me ive had a few and they were soft in comparison! sea sickness and food poisoning all rolled into one yuk!!
