MS - What Normal?

I know that every womans pregnancy is different, but I was wondering, what's normal with ms, the throwing up kind?

This last week my nausa has gone from just that to actual throwing up. I thought I had found a solution in ginger nuts, but alas, no. Now the past 2 days I've been sick twice during the day, and it's a lot more than just "the spits" at the start of the week, I'm bringing everything I've ever eaten up!

I've been making sure I keep my water intake up, but is there anything more I should be doing? I see my midwife on the 23rd so can ask her some things, but in the mean time.............

I had what sounds exactly like what you have got, still do but to a much lesser extent.

Theres a couple of homeopathy pills you can get from the health shop - these helped slightly.

Otherwise other stuff that helped me was gingerbread (way better and more effective than gingernuts) - I make it once a week, its yummy. Chewing juicey fruit has become my newest fix for it and eating potatos. I don't know why but if I had dinner without a decent amount of spuds I would chuck it straight back up.

But overall it's best if you eat a little bit every couple of hours and don't have any big meals

Yay, can't wait!

It's just making me so misrable! Oh well, least I'm not the only one I guess!

Yup, I had bad morning sickness to the point of vomiting a few times a day. I also tried to fight it, thinking that if I threw up once I would be throwing up all day, but if I just accepted the fact that I was going to be sick I would really only just do it once and then be ok.

There are loads of things I tried that worked most of the time but sometimes didn't do a damn thing

Salt and vinegar chips
Constantly sucking on something (Double D sugar free fruit lollies are good)
Sculling milk (not nice when it comes back up though)

I tried everything, and milk was the thing that worked best for me, but I think everyone has their 'one' thing that helps lots. It's just a matter of trying everything

Good luck! Morning sickness is awful and I certainly don't take 'feeling normal' for granted anymore.

And try plain crackers or nuts before even getting up in the morning.

Yeah those packs were great, I'd always take 2 with me to work lol

i had reeeeally bad morning sickness, i would throw up about every hour it was so bad (washing dishes for a living didn't help at all!). luckily my mum's a homeopath and she gave me something that made it go away straight away, the relief was unexplainable!
if it gets really bad there are things a doctor can give you or you could see a homeopath, otherwise, just keep up the fluids and ginger and stuff and i really hope it goes away soon. it's no fun!

Im another Maxolon girl didnt help me much with the nausea, but it cut my vomiting back to about once a day. Frozen Jucies were my helper, the tropical ones, and salt and vinager chip sandwiches.
