hey girls! i am so happy that i found this site. i am 9 weeks pregnant and i feel a lot like most of u girls. i throw up everyday all day even to the point where i threw up blood. my husband is so helpfull and i am such a whitch to him. i used to smoke a pack of cigs a day and i stopped as soon as i found out i was prego. however my hubby is still a heavy smoker. he doesnt smoke in the house anymore but the smell on his clothes and in his mouth kills me. he takes showers and brushes his teeth b4 he comes t bed but i still smell it. this has slowed down our sex life. not only our sexlife but cuddling too. this makes me feel so bad becasue we were so close and he was always the one to make me feel better when i was sick. i sometimes just sit in my room and cry, and then i have people who tell me "relax u r pregnant whats the big deal everyone goes through this" well, some people have it worse then others n they dont understand. everything smells to me and i am the meanest person to be around. i dont even want to be aroung myslef! well, its nice to know i have this site, good luck girls hopefully we will all feelo better soon!

I am entering my 9th week today with my first child, and probably only after this experience. I've been so sick for 3 weeks and have not been able to work. The emotional/mental toll of not getting out of the house I think is as bad as the sickness. I'm afraid that I will get sick at work or at the store because sometimes I get so sick so suddenly that I barely make it to my own bathroom. I don't want to embarass myself and I don't want to lose my job. I've tried the crackers, suckers, etc. I'm on Ondansetron (Zofran?) and anti-anxiety meds. This is just awful and I need it to end. We planned this pregnancy, but I find that I have "buyer's remorse". Is that normal? How awful a mother am I to think that? My husband is wonderful, but I worry about the toll it is taking on him too.

I am 13 weeks pregnant and have never been so sick in my entire life. I have been to many doctors in the past because of my pains and constant illness but I have never felt so overwhelming terrible in my life. 4 days out of the week I cannot leave my bed at fear of throwing up. I tend to anyways, violently, shaking and crying and hunching over in pain.
There are alot of helpful sites on the internet of what foods to eat and what to avoid. Get your man to be your slave for your pregnancy! Thats been the biggest help for me haha. Remember: being sick is a sign your baby is healthy! Try to view it as a positive! I wish you all the best.

I am now 29 weeks and still very sick everyday. I am nauseas all day everyday. Yesterday was my 3rd time going to the hospital for IV fluids as I keep getting dehyrated because I can't eat or drink anything. I want to cry each time I need to eat, haven't been out to dinner since December and just want this whole thing to be over. I'm miserable and scared. Thankfully my husband is patient but I don't want to feel this way anymore.

I am almost 7 weeks pregnant and have been so sick this past week. It has been awful. Throwing up 3 to 4 times a day, and nauseous all the time in-between. I cry thinking about it lasting until 12 weeks, and the whole pregnancy.... I cant even fathom. They tested my progesterone and said it was at a normal level but but me on 50 mg 2x a day just as precaution (as I have had previous miscarriages), and I have come to the conclusion that the progesterone is what was making me so sick. The day after I started it I began throwing up. I took it for a little over a week and then I quit taking it friday, as I was throwing up all the pills I was taking as soon as I had swallowed them, so I figured I would try not to self inflict pain, and I am feeling so much better!! Still nauseous but nothing compared to before, and I haven't thrown up for 2 days! I don't know if this will help anyone out there, but I know I was all ears when it was at its worst! I am keeping my fingers crossed I have seen the worst! Good luck to all you mamas to be!

I am almost 13 weeks pregnant and sick all day long. I found out when I was early in the pregnancy about 5 weeks and that was because I was SICK!!! I have been sick every since. I have been in the hospital to get IV fluids, I have been out on 4 different types of medicine. At first the medications were working a little and now NOTHING  . I am so frustrated, I wake up in the morning feeling like crap. I feel so bad that I can not care for my family the way that I need to. This is my third. With my first, a boy, the pregnancy was a breeze. With my secong, a girl, I was sick but it went away for the most part by the time I was 12 weeks. I was still sick the entire pregnancy but I was at least able to eat to the point where I was able to gain the 10 pounds back that I had lost. So far with this pregnancy I have lost 12 pounds. My doc is not really concerned as I have a history of this but they are a little concerned as to why it is so bad this prenancy. I have already signed my paperwork to get my tubes tied. I cannot do this again. My mind wonders from time to time about getting an abortion but I know that it is not an option  . My husband is supportative but does not know what to do to make me feel better. I just can't wait for this to be all over with. I am so concerned for my baby because I cannot even take my vitamins. This is the worse

For anybody suffering from morning sickness, you know it is one of the more dreaded things about pregnancy. I am only 9 weeks along in my pregnancy and it has hit a peak this week. I am hoping and praying that in 4 weeks it dissipates. However, I have found some remedies that do help. In the morning, it seems that right as I wake up I just cannot help but throw up right away. After that, I either eat toast or saltines. I have found that food, even at it's least appealing is the thing that keeps my nausea at ease. Once I eat the toast or crackers, I can usually stomach cereal or eggs and I can usually get on with my day. To deal with queasiness during the day I have found that ginger tea really helps and of course saltines. As long as my tummy is not empty I feel better! Hopefully little tips are helpful to somebody looking for help!

From swelling in the ankles, to spider viens, to ance, and everything else from A-Z. My first two pregnancies were smooth sailing, I guess third times the charm!

I wish people would come back here with good news about when the M/S ended for them. All I ever read about are the bad stories ("I'm 34 weeks pregnant and still vomiting 7 times a day!") and it's scary and depressing. I'm 8.5 weeks along with my second, and this SUCKS. At least I know from my first pregnancy that I only have a couple weeks to go. I don't have Hyperemesis Gravidarium (I keep down more liquids and food than I puke), but this inescapable nausea and vomiting 2-3 times a day is awful.
I don't know if this will help anyone else out there, but the trick for me is to NEVER LET MY STOMACH GET EMPTY. It's absolutely disgusting shoving tasteless, nauseating food down my throat when all I want to do is be left alone, but it helps. If you absolutely can't do food, then chew on ice chips. If I nibble constantly, I only puke about twice a day. If I give in and call in sick to work and spend the day in bed not eating, I've vomited so much and so forcefully that I gave myself a 2 hour-long nosebleed and black eye (

I had "normal" morning sickness with my first two girls and it ended like clockwork at about 14 weeks. My third baby girl morning sickness didn't end until I was 5 MONTHS pregnant, and even then, there were things I couldn't smell or eat, and I would get motion-sickness if we were on anything but a straight road. This pregnancy is the usual nausea, and I'm hoping that it doesn't continue as long as the last time! I don't know if it's worse with girls, since I've only ever been pregnant with girls! I burp all the time, I get dizzy, and if I don't eat every couple of hours the nausea is 10 times worse! I am exhausted ALL day and feel like I just want to sleep. My husband is not even remotely understanding about my need to rest. He'll say, "I'm in the office WORKING...and I feel like you're not up to taking care of things in here!" If men had babies I can garauntee they would be the biggest complainers and whiners on the planet! That's why WE have the babies...men couldn't handle it!

Quick question for everyone. I am 15 weeks and have lost 18 pounds. I can't keep much down, including vitamins. My doc does not seem to care or be concerned. Is that normal? Or, should I change doctor?
Any advice?

I had my first proper morning sickness today! I have been queasy for the last week (am just over 7 weeks) but today, on the tube (like the subway) I started sweating and almost blacked out, and then was physically sick on the platform! I had to sent my bf to get tissues as I couldn't bear him seeing. Luckily I had only had two apples as I hate an early breakfast. It was just ugh. I hope I'm not going to have this for too long ...

Well, im 8 weeks pregnant tommorrow and Im glad I found this site. Morning sickness is bullshit. Every morning you wake up to have this awfull feeling in your stomach, well i lied, not just your stomach, its your WHOLE BODY, Then you must rush to the nearest bathroom, sink, whatever and all i throw up is bile in the morning. It never stops. I have thrown up 4 times so far today and its only a little past noon. I still feel sick right now and have not been able to eat ANYTHING or drink anything. I drank some water, dind't help! the water made it worse. I worry about the nutrition for my baby and all that so I bought some breakfast essential mix it with milk and if you can get 2-3 of those down a day your child should be getting all nutrients and vitamins it needs. Bottom line: im over it already,and I wish I felt normal again. My baby would like my diet before and i would never be hungry again i like to eat and this is now disturbing my everyday lifestyle.

I posted not that long ago but wanted to see what others think...I will be 11 weeks in 2 days. I'm the sickest I've been so far. I've lost 13 lbs and I figure I've probably only had a total of 400 calories in the last 3 days....that's food that's stayed down. I am trying to eat, just usually can't keep it down. I went to the dr yesterday and I'm only "mildly" dehydrated. Got a new presription which so far isn't helping. Do I go in for an IV?? Does an IV help with nausea too or just dehydration? I'm terrified of needles!!!! Anyone know how long they put an IV in for in situations like this? I'm so scared but want to feel better and help the baby.

I'm 13 weeks pregnant with my first child and I'm miserable! I feel sick ALL the time. If I don't eat it gets even worse...my stomach feels so weird all the time. If I eat too much I'm sick but if my stomach gets empty I get sick. Its such a balancing act and I'm not good at it! The only thing that works for me is popcicles! Lots and lots of popcicles but if I get too hot there is nothing that can help me...its good to know I'm not alone.

I too am so ready for this to be over! I am 15 wks today carrying twins and my MS has been horrible! I have lost 15 lbs. and am worried for my babies. I have tried everything to releive my all day sickness, but nothing has worked. I was put on Zofran for the nausea and that has helped a bit however for the most part I feel horrible. I can't eat much, drink, and hate the smell of everything! My doc told me symptoms usually wase up around 13-14 weeks, but unfortunetley for me I am still suffering thourg it. Everyday I wake up hoping today is the day! But nothing! I totally understand what all you ladies are going through. All I can say is to have faith that this will be over soon. Good luck to all of you!

I'm pregnant with our third child and my morning sickness is horrible!! I have a 3-year-old and 1-year-old boys. I never had a day of sickness with them, so this is a whole new experience. I struggle just to watch them every day and go to work at night. I'm so glad this is our last child, cuz I will NEVER go through this again. Nothing helps. I nauseated 24/7, have to force myself to eat. Plus I get horrible cramps and gut-rot. I know its worth it in the end.. but talk about hell!

I am 10 weeks pregnant and haven't suffered too much with morning sickness until today. I got up with a banging headache and spent the entire morning feeling like I would pass out, I managed to eat some lunch and then pretty much had to resolve to sitting on the floor as close to the toilet at work as I could bear. Im concerned as I havent really felt that bad and now I feel horrendous and drained and really really dizzy and sick . If this has happened to anyone else please leave me a comment and put my mind at rest! best of luck to everyone x x

my morning sickness was so over the top with my first pregnancy. it started at 4weeks. at the time i was weighing around 154lbs.fatigue was the first sign, followed with the usual hyperemesis gravidarum. extreme nausea and vomitting, each day, i vomited till i had just my intestines left. i was not eating at all. my hubby persuaded me to eat, which i did, only to throw up all over the place.nothing could stay up in my tummy, not even water.i was also put on progesterone, i was admitted at the hospital atleast once in 2wks, cause i suffered dehydration. morning sickness did not end for me till i was completely 21weeks.by the end of the 21st week of pregnancy, i had lost 26lbs. but thank God, m/s finally ended and i enjoyed the remaining weeks of my pregnancy and gave birth to a gorgeous baby boy! and to think that i am going to go through all these again? YES, YES, YES, the end result is worth it.

I'm 27 and am 9 weeks prego with my 2nd child. I am so miserable that I want to destroy something.I had absolutely no morning sickness with my daughter. Now.....I'm suffering something awful. My fiance is doing everything in his power to help me. Sometimes I hate him for doing this to me. It's all his fault. lol(even though I wanted another baby)I can't even sleep in bed with him cause he gives off to much heat which makes me more sick. I've been sleeping in my daughter's bed, which is comfortable and cool. I always wake up sick and it doesn't go away till about 1030ish at night. So bascially it's an all day "morning sickness massacre". I always make sure to scrub the toilets because I hate the thought of throwing up in a dirty toilet or touching the toilet seat with pee stains on it. I also make sure to chew my food real good just in case I throw it up. I can't even stand the smell or thought of mexican food, which sucks because I'm half mexican and that's all my fiance likes to eat! He's been putting taco bell and del taco in business with his reocurring eating habbits. I am constantly thirsty and if I drink to much water or juice I will throw it up. I have to drink small amounts all day long. I have found some remedies that do help. I'm currently using the PSI wristbands.(they are sold at any pharmacy) They help to an extent. I also chew alot of ginger gum and I carry crackers with me everywhere. I went from 115(ive always been petite)to 103, and to add more fuel to the fire, my breast are the size of russian missles and they hurt so bad. If it weren't for them, the wind would blow me away while I was vomiting! I hate this. Once this massacre goes away, Im going to get me a huge banana split or brownie fudge sundae.

I'm 6 weeks in my second pregnancy and I had forgotten how bad morning sickness is. I was a university when I fell pregnant with my first born. Like Anna I used weed to cure my morning sickness. It works! The only times I got to feel sick was when I didn't smoke weed. I was worried about my baby inside ofcourse but it's a natural herb and taken in moderation it shouldn't do harm. My child is now 6 years old and very healthy and active. I'm a professional now, working in a corporate. I cannot imagine myself walking into a meeting high. I need an alternative cure though I'm tempted to try weed again. My morning sickness is really bad. My fiance sulks as I cannot cook for him as often as I used to

Hi ladies! I'm too like many of u, sooo glad to find this site. I m 10.3 weeks today with twins. My first pregnancy that too an ivf one. Struggled for 3.5yrs with infertility and multiple failed ivf cycles. So u can well imagine how precious this pregnancy is to me. But this pregnancy sickness can really get to u. I'm a doctor myself and still it's hard for me to deal with it. All other preggo ladies around me(numerous dr colleagues, nurses and a cousin of mine) at different stages of pregnancy seem to be doin so well eating, working doin all sorts of things. And here i m, stuck at home with a dog's sense of smell and 24/7 nausea, bloating, vomiting and severe constipation with no remedy! Everyday i count days to my 12weeks mark and hope that i'll get better! I was gettin really depressed but feel much better now that i c that i'm not alone! Hope to following u all and share our preggy journey!

Hi everyone,
I don't see recent posts on here, but I'm sure there are ladies out there going through this horrific MS. Im 11 weeks & I'm suffering badly. Just when you think it should ease up it hits you the worse. This is my 4th pregnancy and every single time it's the same. I'm on a Zofran pump to help ease up symptoms. It had been working but I guess not this week. It's awful as it having bruised up legs since I'm on this pump for 24/7. This is so depressing. Hate that everyone seems to think it's all in my head and I'm just making stuff up. I wished they were in my shoes just for a day to see how bad and depressing this is. Just hope this eases up soon. 6 weeks of nausea & vomiting are leaving me exhausted & frustrated.

I had stopped smoking cannabis when I found out I was pregnant out of respect to my baby. Not really sure if it would have side-effects or not I played-it-safe, and I’m not a big smoker so it wasn’t a concern. I developed Hyperemesis Gravidarum when I was only 2-3 weeks pregnant. At the time I thought I had severe gastro/E.coli poisoning or even cholera (it is prevalent in the country where I live.) I wish this had been the case. For anyone who has never experienced HG or feels that it is an exaggeration of normal \'morning sickness\' I would like to take you through those first 4 months.
The HG started with nausea, like no other nausea I have ever experienced in my life. It was lingering. Vomiting did not erase the sensation. From the moment I opened my eyes in the morning, it felt like my entire body began to contract and try to expel my stomach. The intensity of the retching was so overwhelming I could not stop even when my stomach was completely empty of everything including bile and saliva. And I often would not make it to the toilet because the retching would begin too quickly for me to react and run to the bathroom. Yes, I made a lot of mess in the house. Coupled with nausea, an intense weakness and dizziness began. If you\'ve ever had a stomach flu you will understand that vomiting itself expends energy. It knocks you around. I was exhausted and by week 4 I had not eaten more than a few small meals and my weight had already dropped enough for me to notice. My husband was worried but we didn\'t know what to do. There were no doctors where we were living so we just ‘waited to see what happened’. My olfactory sense was on overdrive. I could smell everything, every odour made me want to vomit. Even the smell of my partner made me want to vomit but I couldn\'t do anything because if he was the only person caring for me. There were many nights when I wondered if I could stand him being next to me at all ever again. I was unable to leave the house except for a few small walks. These were terrifying because I never knew when I would vomit and I attracted so much attention I hated going outside. When I showered I noticed bones were sticking out that had never stuck out before. I could feel my body was wasting away; my muscles no longer had any power. I’ve always been very strong but walking a flight of stairs felt like a long jog. I was out of breath very easily. I also started vomiting blood and fainted. I began crying when I was alone, crying when I was with my husband, and felt very much that I had developed depression but I never told anyone except my husband how I was feeling. Suicidal thoughts began. I felt guilty because I didn’t care about my baby at all. At 7 weeks I had begun to lose enough weight that my friends were shocked at my \'new figure\'. One friend even sat next to me in a café and was unable to recognize me until I called out to her. I’ll never forget the look on her face. She told me I needed to get to a hospital quickly. I eventually saw a doctor and was prescribed Maxalon or Metoclopramide hydrochloride. I hate ‘popping pills’ and my husband was very suspicious of the medication but I was desperate. They worked. Then after 3 days I began to have neurological side-effects and the nausea and vomiting returned. I flushed the pills and resumed my torture.
One day I said to my husband that I wanted to try cannabis. He never argued, at this stage we were desperate to try anything and we both believe cannabis is a natural God-given herb for man’s use. My first smoke in weeks gave me almost immediate relief. And then something else that I forgot, a strange sensation: HUNGER. I was hungry!! I told husband to get me food, whatever it was I didn’t care. I was very dizzy from the joint but for the first time I wasn’t a hostage of the nausea and I never worried about keeping the meal down (the best meal of my life). So every morning he would wake me up from bed with a joint (tobacco free). I took enough just to ease myself into being awake and once I felt hungry he would feed me a small meal and send me back to bed to digest it. Often I would vomit immediately after smoking (my sense of smell hadn’t calmed down and the smoke triggered it) so I was emptying an empty stomach, but afterwards any food or liquid I drunk would stay down. The depression was lifted when I had taken cannabis, I felt happy and the terror of vomiting was lifted from my mind so I could actually enjoy whatever was happening around me. I felt guilty and ashamed about walking around stoned all day, so was only using it in the mornings and when I wanted to eat a full meal. In hindsight I wish I hadn’t wasted so much time and just gone straight to cannabis and taken it throughout every waking hour, blissfully emancipated from that nausea hell regardless of who saw me ‘high’.
In conclusion, mothers suffering with HG should not think twice about trying cannabis. Prescription pharmaceuticals are dangerous, risky and long-term side effects on the baby are unknown. Cannabis is controversial but it doesn’t take a doctor to understand why and to know why the medical establishment won’t endorse this beautiful God-created herb.
*I would also like to add the other HG ‘remedy’ I discovered: sex. We noticed my nausea decreased dramatically after my husband and I had been together one morning. The body’s natural opiates –released after sex- are also effective at relieving HG. It was an amusing discovery for us both (after I was initially very reluctant). Don’t rule intimacy out even if you are exhausted, because though it might seem like another form of torture, there are potential benefits to your health. Both my husband and cannabis kept me alive.*

this is my first baby and the sickness is so terrible i don\'t know what to do, i\'m only 19 so i\'m worried about using medication but i\'m in my 8th week and i\'m just sick all day every day i can\'t bear it. my partner is really supportive but it doesnt make me feel better, nothing does. do any of the home remedies actually help? its really really bad at night, is that a bad sign? it got a bit better but last night i was sick about 8 times it was horrible. i just want this to be over i have to keep a bag by me all the time i hate it, its reassuring to hear other stories but i still feel alone because obviously my friends don\'t understand :( thoughts of my beautiful baby girl get me through it all
