I know sickness is nothing to go by, but hoping you've got your little pink bundle. Or twins maybe? ;) xQuote:

Ds3 was a walk in the park (still got sick, but only poopy diapers from ds2 triggered it).
I'm almost 15 weeks pregnant with twin girls, and my ms is in between ds2 and 3. I'm on Zofran again.
You have to eat as soon as you wake up. If you wake up at 2 am, have a cracker and some watered down sports drink (the electrolytes can help). Them again when you wake up the next time. The goal is to keep something in your stomach.

I'm really sick too, but here is what I am doing:
1. Unisom (class a drug, safest you can get) plus vitamin b6 at night.
2. Motion sickness bracelets (they help me as I get noticeably more ill as soon as I take them off to shower)
3. Lemon in my water (citrus is supposed to help).
4. Small meals throughout the day, so I am never hungry or have an empty stomach.
5. Ginger of any kind. Ginger ale, pickled ginger, ginger candy. Not sure it really helps, but it can't hurt.
6. Peppermint candy to suck on. Not that much of a help, but I'll take anything I can try.
7. Avoid hard to digest meals--things like a salad with lots of veggies that require my stomach to work hard to digest are death to me. It sits like a brick in my stomach.
8. Peppermint tea.
9. Homeopathic remedies (nux vomica)...
I hope I am past the worst of this soon. I'm 9 weeks and the past week was horrible!

Oh, I did want to point out that recent studies have found a correlation (not causation) with zofran and heart problems and cleft palates in babies. Obviously zofran has been used for a long time, but since this is new info that they have found over time, they may be changing the recommendations in the future. Obviously, if the mothers health is really suffering from dehydration and weight loss, then the small risk is outweighed by the risk of the mother getting inadequate nutrition and thereby giving the baby inadequate nutrients. Just thought I would put that out there.

I have severe nausea all day long in early pregnancy, and the only thing that helped at all was eating, preferably foods high in both protein & fat. Whenever I was actively eating, my nausea was less. As soon as I stopped eating, it came back full force. It has been the same for all my pregnancies that got to 6 weeks which is when my nausea kicks in.
I tried preggo pops, ginger, every sour candy ever...tons of anti-nausea meds (though not Zofran as it had not come out yet), they didn't help at all.
I really feel for you. Morning sickness has started to hit for me. I'm 6 weeks. Ended up on Zofran for both my boys. I would be interested in learning more about the potential new knower risks now I've seen this thread before going on that again for this pregnancy. I'm also finding cool showers help :)

So I have had serious morning sickness with each of my 4 pregnancies. The ONLY thing that really brought me relieve was eating a very high protein/fat diet. I would eat eggs and bacon for breakfast, a salad (chicken, eggs, with a high fat dressing like ranch), then for dinner I would eat off of a rotisserie chicken. This brought me significant relieve. Another thing that helped is really cold lemon water (with real lemon) and a Calcium/Magnesium Citrate supplement. I figured this out my third pregnancy and by my fourth pregnancy I didn't puke at all in my first trimester. I got lazy with it and puked a few times first thing in the morning a few days before I had the baby. It really worked for me as I believe my MS is due to low blood sugar.
I hope you find something that brings you relieve!! Morning sickness is so evil and can take all the excitement out of a pregnancy!
Morning sickness is the suck! I am on Reglan for it and that helps so that I can eat and keep something in my stomach. Butter cookies, potato and apple slices are all working for me too. I'm going to try a smoothie as well.

Drinking water frequently through the day in small sips. Also trying to nibble on something now and again that I may fancy and laying down as often as possible.
