Can morning/ day sickness....

get worse after 9 weeks? I was nauseous up until week 8 then it stopped and I got really sick (virus bronchitus) and since I started feeling better I am throwing up and nausious all day long and im 9w3d. I'm just curious if it got this bad for anyone else this late in the 1st trimester? I called the Dr to see if it could be after effects of taking antibiotics? Havent heard back yet?

Any suggestions how to deal with the nausia at work?

Re: Can morning/ day sickness....

Yup, mine got worse around then.
Coke, Ginger Ale, Preggie pops, ginger snaps, pretzels all sort of helped. So did salt bagels.

Sorry you feel crummy

I went from just being nauseous to throwing up at about 10 wks.

Re: Can morning/ day sickness....

yep, mine got worse around 12wks. Still going strong at 20.

Nothing CURED it at all - but these things helped:

-Zofran (rx anti-nausea pills) I was taking 4 a day for a couple months, now I'm down to 1 a day (only in the morning)

-Warm ginger ale

-Pretzels

-oyster crackers (little tiny soup crackers)

-citrus: i kept a lemon or a lime on my desk every day and would cut a slice off and put it in my water. If my nausea got really bad, I would just sniff the lemon/lime/whatever.

-Increased vitamin B. I take a dissolving oral tablet that also has folic acid in it

-cool, damp paper towels on my face

-naps

-Sea Bands (motion sickness bands - you can get them at CVS/walgreens/etc, near the dramamine). I kept mine on 24/7 - only took them off to shower.

-bagels, but only sometimes. Sometimes they just made me puke more OR felt like a brick in my stomach. I don't know which is worse.


NOTHING dairy or acidic (coffee, sauce, etc) - that made things so much worse.

Oh, and Preggie pops are a joke. They're just hard candy.

I think that's about it - seriously, nothing works. I feel your pain...FEEL BETTER!!!!!

eta: At the worst point, I was vomiting 12-15 times a day. I'm down to 2-3 now --- so it DOES get a little better!

I got preggie pops (sucking candy) at Motherhood Maternity. I think BBB & BRU also carry them

Re: Can morning/ day sickness....

11 weeks. threw up twice this morning.

having a REALLY bad day with it today.

it's been really bad this whole week actually.

I am trying to tell myself it's the hormones making the big push towards the 2nd trimester....and that accounts for the spike in nausea.

I think you will find different things work for different people.

I can't eat hot food. I eat sandwiches, yogurt...or whatever else I think will stay.

it's a game of hit and misses I think. I just run a bunch of possible food scenarios in my head and whichever makes me LEAST vomit inclined is what I eat (normally cheese sandwiches)

I will say that my acid reflux is much better since Mon/Tues b/c I upped my dairy intake (2 yogurts, and I am drinking milk)

like they say, whatever it takes to get you through
