I was really hoping this time round I'd get to skip this experience as I had this with my son from 6-26 weeks pregnant. But, unfortunately, as of Thursday I have definitely got morning sickness.
I don't really want to eat anything at all. Everything makes me feel so nauseas that I'm forcing food down. Inevitably for it to come back up again.
I've been fortunate that as a preschool assistant I've been off all summer but I'm heading back to work tomorrow and I am dreading it!!
Any tips??
Nothing really helped last time but I'm really struggling with feeling like this and trying to look after my son too.
The answers:
It's started for me. I'm really surprised, because I'm only 4 weeks along.
I don't know why they call it "morning" sickness, because for me it seems to be more like "pre-lunch" sickness at the moment. I try to have a small snack (1-2 crackers) as soon as I sense it starting. That has seemed to settle it down the last couple of days. We'll see how long that works.
For this one I took a sleep aid called Unisom (1/2 a tablet) and added B6 to it. It does make you tired but it took the edge off and I was able to keep food down. Maybe talk to your doctor or midwife and see if maybe they can prescribe you something like Diclegis.
