Morning sickness help

[missiz]

I am almost 6 weeks and have started getting quite awful morning sickness, I am going to try and see a Dr to find out if he can prescribe me anything if it gets any worse. What have you ladies been given and what works the best without making you feel spaced out or drowsy?

Also, any suggestions on what I can do to minimise the sickness at home, any food suggestions or tactics? I'll try anything lol

Are there any prenatal vitamins that are particularly good for ladies suffering with morning sickness? that are easy to take and wont make it worse

Sorry you are feeling sick, this is the worse, I used to tell DH to take me to the hospital so I can request to be put in a medically induced coma up to 16 weeks.

The last two pregnancies have been worse, not sure if its because they were girls?? Anyway I had posted about this also as I have tried it all, wrist bands, crackers, small meals, preggy props, sour candy and gum which helps a little but my mouth/jaw is so sore from chewing I couldn't even do it anymore! I absolutely do not want to put the baby at risk but unfortunately could not lay on the couch or sit on the bathroom floor all day for weeks.

The last 2 pregnancies I was on Zofran from week 7 to about week 14/16. I still has a bit of a sour stomach but it really took the edge off, I wasn't vomiting or in the constant nausea hell. I had absolutely no drowsiness and could not deal with that as I drive 100 miles round trip for work and my job involves driving and walking! The only side effect was constipation though :(

Hope you feel better!

Ginger is meant to help and Vit b6. I have used maxalon for 2 pregnancies and zofran for another and these work ok. Good luck. I always find that the worst part of pregnancy. Lol!

So sorry to hear about your sickness. I had sickness with my boys and was physically sick a few times with my last but I've been sick most days, usually night time with this one. So, I know your agony.
Wristbands and even meds haven't worked, but eating dry toast and water every hour has eased it a little. I think when you are dehydrated and hungry it gets worse but try not to eat big meals as that can exaggerate it too.

If you can get what Jany has tried that sounds Gud as I was on a cheapie drug in uk and they wudnt give me anything else. Typical male dr just said you have to deal with it. :(
Hope you get sorted Hun and congrats on your pregnancy x

thanks ladies, I have also heard of a drug called maxalon. Has anyone had experience with that? whether its as good as zofran or not? it appears zofran can be quite expensive if you have to take it for a while :(

Maxalon did nothing for me! I'm nearly 32 weeks and still taking Zofran. I was prescribed Prednisolone for severe Hyperemisis and that stopped my from vomiting 20+ times a day. I was on that from 9-22 weeks. I hope you feel better soon

can morning sickness make you feel weak and shaky? my hands are shaky when I hold them out and I just dont have energy to do anything, I feel out of breathe with the smallest tasks lol The symptoms are similar to when you have a tummy bug :(

I went to the Dr this avo and he recommended the vitamin b6 and ginger tablets, and also gave me scripts for maxalon and zofran wafers. did anyone have nasty side effects from taking these at all?

Have you tried the bean tip that someone posted on here a few weeks ago? I definitely want to try it asap if I ever get pregnant again! I had horrible morning sickness till 26 weeks with DS2.

Thanks for posting essence! I actually posted this and tried and it definitely helped me. You have to be pretty consistent. Hope you feel better!! XXOO

Unisom (doxylamine succinate) + B6 helps quite a bit. Zofran never helped me :( The only thing that completely cured my morning sickness was when I was on the hospital IV... BUT with this little one I took a tablespoon full of coke syrup every morning and it really helped! If was HORRIBLE to take, but I felt so good I forced myself to take it. I also would pour coke syrup over ice and sip on it throughout the day as well. It was the only thing that worked. I did eat beans during my first trimester but my MS got so severe I could not even stand their texture without gagging. I hope you find something that works! I'm 18 weeks today and still deal with it on a nightly basis.
