Really unwell with nausea

[anteater]

Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

I'm never actually sick but I feel horrendously nauseous ALL the time and just so ill with it too. I can't really function. I can't even do simple things like wash-up, I just feel so awful.

I haven't helped myself by looking up severe nausea and finding it can be a symptom of molar pregnancy. I'm convinced it's that now as I don't even psychologically feel very pregnant, just very ill.

That's morning sickness (or NVP)! I wasn't able to cook meals really at all from 6-11+ weeks, let alone clean the house, do washing up, anything because of nausea. Luckily (hah?) mine mainly presented in the evenings so I was able to mostly go to work (though at 8-10 weeks I was up hurling, correction, dry heaving, at night). At times I couldn't even stand to drink water. A few things that sometimes helped included sucking on hard candies, chewing gum (though mostly not), drinking sweet very cold things/eating icepops and...well toting my bucket around in case I did actually start vomiting. I found the taste in my mouth made it worse, and a bit of baking soda mouthwash (baking soda in water) helped that immensely.
I found having a bit of food in my stomach did help some, but the usual things (seasickness bands, ginger, B vitamins) didn't really help me at all.
Everyone's and every pregnancy is different so yours may go sooner or stick around longer or vary in intensity.

Hun some people do get morning sickness really bad, I remember a girl I worked with (how she came to work each day is beyond me bless her), at the time we were in a call centre and she would forever be up and down even cutting off calls to throw up.

I know it's hard not to worry and we have all taken our symptoms to mean maybe more than they do at some point, it's perfectly understandable.

Can you book an early scan or see you GP and mention your concerns, they may even be able to give you something to ease the nausea.

I hope it eases soon, I had MS (nowhere near as bad though) from 7w to 14w and it was awful so you have my sympathy x
