  Hi- I am 8 weeks along with my 3rd baby. I am nausous constantly. I really dont remeber feeling this bad with my other two. So I'd love to hear some ideas on how you ladies handled morning or all day sickness.

Thanks,

Elizabeth

I was never sick with either of my sons, but with my daughter I was sick for the first 4-5 months.  I drank a lot of ginger ale and sucked on a lot of those preggie pops - I like the really sour flavors.  That helped a little, but for the most part I would just be nauseated...throw up...feel better for a while and then start all over.  I have never been so miserable in my life.  I just hope I do not get that sick this time since I have 2 kids to take care of and lots more activities that I am involved in.  I am 5 weeks along and I have already noticed that if I do not eat at regular intervals through the day I start to feel queasy. 

Hang in there, it goes away eventually!  Believe it or not, I actually got use to it after a while and could actually function sick.

There were certain foods that the smells and the tastes I could not stand so naturally I stayed away from them! Also, eating every few hours so you had something in your stomach really helped. I did have to resort to drugs and took zofran when it got really bad. Hope you feel better soon!

well nothing really helped me, in the begining. i tried saltines, and eating before i left the bed, but i would take one small bite of a cracker and had to run to the bathroom. luckily for me it was only in the morning, and by the afternoon i was feeling pretty good, and could eat, and drnk.

try different things, i tried dry cereal ( the sugary kind as others just made my mouth more dry), i tried peppermint candies, ginger ale, chewing gum, fruit, nothing really worked for me, i even looked on the internet for remedies.

other things are preggie pops, ginger tee, ginger root. anything ginger is supposed to help, some people said  B6- ? but i would talk to your doctor, before taking any vitamins, or medicines.

Good luck. For most it does get better. i'm now 22 wks and i dont really have any sickness, just ocasional nauseousness, or the gaging feeling. but i feel fine for the most part.  Hang in there!

same here!  first pregnancy was cake, this one is much harder, im sick all the time.  i heard about preggie pops and went and bought some today and they help a little bit but only while i have one in my mouth.   im still trying to find ways to feel better.    i have tried cran juice, crackers, ginger etc etc.   sure they help while i have some in my mouth but i cant just eat crackers all day and drink ginger ale.   if you find some relief, let me know!!!!
