Somebody. Please. I already took a Zolfran. This "morning" sickness is killing me. I was able to keep down some food and water today, so I don't want to call my Dr this late. I'll call tomorrow. It's horrible. I don't know how I can last 'til Aug, or even July like this.
ug. i'm so sorry. there's really no solution when it's that bad. nibble nibble those saltines, and try some REALLY watered down gatorade (the lemon/lime one) - weirdly i always found that sniffing playdoh helped (LMAO - but for some reason, that was soothing). hang in there. how far along are you? i dont think i realized you were preg! congrats!!
so so sorry. I know it stinks. I took Zofran for the first 21 weeks - it helped some but did not totally elminate the throwing up. hang in there :hugs:

Oh my gosh, I have been sniffing this new deodorant I found, Suave Sweet Pea and Violet! It's really nice.
I'm about 13 weeks. This lasted until the day I had Andrew. I threw up that morning I had him. Now, I'm so much older, and so much more tired. I just can't see how I'll get through this. I feel like I'm in AA or something. It's a day at a time, sometimes minute by minute...

Thanks everybody. This just sucks. It's 2010. I think that there should be a cure. Morning sickness is STUPID, and should be eliminated. So, someone should fix it... I'm sure "they'll" get right on that....
Sucking on mints helped me alot. And lemonade....but if I kept on top of taking my Zofran I could pretty much keep the nausea at bay. Are you taking the kind that melts on your tongue?
I remember feeling like crap for the first few months....that was so awful. I hope you can find something to help you.

(Oh and CONGRATS!)
Thanks. I took the melting kind with Andrew. It tasted nasty, and I would barf. This time it's gone generic, so it's a tablet. Takes about a half an hour to kind of work. Lemonade seems to go down ok most of the time. I'm usually a huge water drinker. Like a gallon of water a day, not including juice and food. Now, water seems kind of "heavy" if I drink a lot a once.
Zofran never worked for me. The only thing that helped was vitamin B6 and 1/2 a Unisom, taken before bed. When I didn't take it, I would be twice as sick the next day. It didn't make me not sick, but it did make me a bit less sick, which was better than nothing!
Thanks, tried the unisom and it didn't really work. I don't know if the B6 is helping or not. I figure it doesn't hurt. I know that I feel more sick when I'm tired, so trying to sleep a lot. Also, I seem to get worse as the day goes on. Don't know what that's about, but after 7 pm, just barf. That's why I started taking the Zolfran in the late afternoon. Gets me dinner, a snack, some teeth brushing and hopefully to bed. Doesn't work 100%, and sometimes it seems like not at all...
With Mason, I was a little better in the evenings. With Evelyn, I was the worst in the evenings. I always had an epic puke right around dinner time, even if I hadn't eaten in a while. And I would go to bed as soon as DH was home. I'm so sorry you are going through this. It sucks!
Are you taking the B6 and Unisom together? I think the recommended dosage is 50mg of B6. Taking a whole Unisom just made me super groggy the next day.
