Morning sickness questions

This is my round one of morning sickness and I am not a terribly patient patient! Even though I'm not chucking, I feel nauseous all day long and at times wonder if I'm going to have to make a dash for the bathroom... so I need some answers please

1. What was your worst ms week?
2. When did it subside by?
3. Best anti-nausea food or supplement?
4. When (if so) did you decide that you need to ask your mw for help? (ie is it worth me asking my mw for some ms tablets etc even though I'm not actually chucking?)

I dont remember the answer to the first 3, but for the tablets, i was on them to stop me throwing up. Didnt make the feeling sick go away, it just stopped me actually throwing up every hour of the day!

1. What was your worst ms week? 7 on

2. When did it subside by?12 weeks

3. Best anti-nausea food or supplement? sea bands, steak/cheese pies and chicken potato chips

4. When (if so) did you decide that you need to ask your mw for help? (ie is it worth me asking my mw for some ms tablets etc even though I'm not actually chucking?) My mw doesn't believe in anti nausea pills and said to keep fluids up and as long as I was managing to keep some food down (see #3) then I would be okay.

1. What was your worst ms week? 6-11wks
2. When did it subside by? 15ish weeks
3. Best anti-nausea food or supplement? SeaBands and granny smith apples. I ate what ever I craved. Oh, and I made DH bring me OJ everymorning before I got up so I had something nice(er) to vomit each morning!
4. When (if so) did you decide that you need to ask your mw for help? (ie is it worth me asking my mw for some ms tablets etc even though I'm not actually chucking?) 6.5wks ( I thought I would never get through the first tri!) Drugs didn't work though.

1. What was your worst ms week? 7 -8 weeks
2. When did it subside by? 10 weeks
3. Best anti-nausea food or supplement? Switching to a citrus toothpaste, the mint made me gag. I ate/craved lots of fruit. This gave me a longer sugar high than chocolate.
I would also make a concoction of a smoothie every morning and sip it slowly at work. Hot chips was a regular occurrence also, for the salt I think.

1. What was your worst ms week? 7 onwards
2. When did it subside by? 20 weeks this pg, last time from week 2 until delivery!
3. Best anti-nausea food or supplement? seabands, pies, hot chips - and no I didn't pile on the weight, i'm still 2 kgs under my pre pg weight!
4. When (if so) did you decide that you need to ask your mw for help? (ie is it worth me asking my mw for some ms tablets etc even though I'm not actually chucking?) Didn't ask either time, just dealt with it and kept her informed of how I was doing.

Good luck, MS sucks, but then youv'e got the heartburn/reflux still to come which is a real delight too!!

I find this helpful anytime I feel sick. I absolutely 'fear' vomiting and find this calm breathing helps.

I've hd 3 babies and each I think ms started around 5 weeks until around 12-14 weeks. With my first (I was only 17) I kept complaining of pain in my stomach and vomiting, to my doctor. He basically said I was young and naive about pregnancy. I finally saw a locum when he was away, and lo and behold - I had appendisitis (sp)!! So out they came, and the sickness stopped immediately!!

I read the following in an old Thats Life. It may help you.

"A teaspoon of apple-cider vinegar mixed with a teaspoonof honey in a glass of warm water is a old remedy for morning sickness - it worked a treat for me!"

A friend of mine who had hyperemesis couldn't keep anything down. And was recommened Lime myzone...and she found this to be the only thing she kept down.

I hope you find something in this thread that helps and that you feel better really quick!

1. What was your worst ms week?
wk 12
2. When did it subside by?
hasn't yet - 15 weeks in now.
3. Best anti-nausea food or supplement?
an IV! But seriously, Soda/tonic & lime helps, toast, toast, toast. Naked (unfilled) bagels.
4. When (if so) did you decide that you need to ask your mw for help?
After talking to mine I was left with the impression that so long as you're able to keep food and fluids down, there's little point in anti-emetics (which are for stopping vomiting, and you're just lucky if they stop you feeling nauseous).

Hi, i so feel for you! I had Hyper-remisis (sever morning sickness) with my first, from week 2 to 15! vomiting 10 - 20 times a day, hospitalised twice and i found the drugs dont work except through an IV. Wouldnt recommend it if your not vomiting though, they can be damaging.
Make sure you let your midwife know if you are vomiting more the 6 times a day or cant keep down water.
Sea Bands were my saving grace. i always felt so much worse if i took them off.
With number 2 i wore them from week 3 when the nausea kicked in (im terrified of vomiting now!) and had a reasonably good time with it.
Best food was carrots. Stay away from anything acidic (tomatoes etc) as they just make it worse.
Morning sickness herbal supplement, i think its blackmores or Weleda helped too,
Flat gingerbeer is actually really nice and the ginger helps the nausea.
Good luck, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. it will all be so worth it when you are holding your little baby.

Basically the same answers as Maya (almost identical). Except worst weeks were around 10-18 weeks, and I got 3 weeks off at the end (of not throwing up anymore).
