Is this (the beginning of) morning sickness???

[Lues]

Hi. So I'm six weeks pregnant today. No real major symptoms so far (sore boobs, but I had them from fertility drugs anyway).

Then, I woke up at about 4am this morning, and I felt....

Well, to be perfectly honest, I felt like I was hungover.

I was strangely starving and nauseous at the same time. Like there was a PIT in my stomach, but the idea of putting something in there was gross.

I got up, (which made the nausea momentarily worse) forced myself to drink some lemon water and shoved down a piece of bread, and went back to bed. I felt slightly better and was able to fall asleep.

Does that sound like mild morning sickness????

It was definitely weird. The only time I've had similar feelings was after a heavy night of drinking! lol.

I realize if it was, it was mild. But I'm just wondered what your thoughts were.

Welcome to the world of sickness lol

 

[Lues]

so that can be what morning sickness feels like?

Good to know!

 

[chezababy]

Oh yes definitely morning sickness. Try and eat before you get to the hungry stage (it helps).

 

[Lues]

YAY! Thanks!

As the day has gone on, I've noticed other hangover symptoms too.

I feel that foggy feeling and I'm well... shaky. Literally my whole body is shaky. I took your advice chezababy, and ate two pieces of rye toast with peanut butter about ten minutes ago. It has slightly lessened the shaking, but it's still there.

It's funny. I asked a girlfriend of mine what morning sickness felt like. She said it felt like being hit by a truck.

I don't know what it feels like to be hit by a truck. lol!! But... I have had hangover before. ;-)

And this definitely currently feels similar in multiple ways!

Sounds like morning sickness to me. I feel like that all the time where my body is hungry but feel too sick to eat. Have to force myself to eat otherwise I will be sick if I leave my stomach empty. Hope it doesn't last long for you feels like forever for me, started at 5 weeks and still going strong at 13 weeks xx

I'm just over 7 weeks and mine just started kicking in last week. I would describe your symptoms as v accurate. I feel EXAUSTED and sick most of the time now, and it really does feel like a bad hangover if I don't get enough sleep!
Although horrible it's all good signs that things are progressing nicely! Xxx

 

[lilmisscaviar]

Yep, that is morning sickness!

I had absolute terrible "morning" sickness with my last three pregnancies. It wasn't just in the mornings though... it was 24/7 nausea. With my son I had it from 7 weeks exactly and with the last two - my angel babies - I had it from 5 weeks.

This time I've only had it on and off mildly, mostly when I don't have a full stomach. Sometimes finding something to eat is challenging when almost everything makes me gag. Times like those I eat something light, like toast or a piece of fruit, then once I start feeling better which is almost instantly I eat something more filling. Carbs and protein keep you fullest the longest.

Oh yes..that's morning sickness! Hope it doesn't last too long. Mine feels like having a terrible hangover without the fun of the night before. Try and find some food that you can stomach and fills you up 👍🏻

Sounds like it, mine started at 6 weeks! But thankfully didn't last too long, just take one it day at at time

Hey Lues, we're due date twins! I'm 6 weeks exactly today too. Yesterday I felt slightly nauseous, not like a hangover but my friend who is now 14 weeks said she felt like she was hungover every day. I'm hoping I get it a bit more since it's a good sign. Today I've felt normal.

 

[Lues]

OoooOooOh, due date buddies, cool!

Yeah. How weird is pregnancy? I woke up this morning, hilariously disappointed that I WASN'T feeling crappy anymore. I feel totally normal. Not even tired like I have other days.

I like the symptoms just because it makes me FEEL pregnant. Yesterday was the first day I really FELT pregnant.

But I'm sure it will come back for us! LOL. (what a WEIRD thing to wish for)

Is this your first?

 

[prettybirdy27]

That is exactly how I would describe the morning sickness I had. I felt hung over almost every day for weeks 6-12. Never actually vomited, I was just hovering on that line where you feel like you could at any moment.

I kept a jar of dry cereal by my bed, and right away when I woke up, before even getting up, I would just start cramming cereal in my mouth. I also had cups of water strategically stashed all around the house so I was never more than a few feet away from a cup.

Sea bands were the big thing that helped me though, and ginger drops.

 

[Stephytiggs]

Yep!! I especially relate to the feeling sick and hungry thing!! Good luck 😂 xxx

 

[fashionlover]

yep, its a blast isn't it. I suffered with it so bad with my first pregnancy I couldn't even get out of bed. This time I feel like ass but have found that once I eat, I am ok for an hour. Then I have to eat again. The hard part is deciding what to eat as everything seems so unappealing to me right now. I sure wish I had a personal chef to just whip something up and make the decisions for me.
