stupid pregnancy question???

Question

Ok, so I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant (for all you smart asses, yes I've taken a test, came out negative, taking another one when I get home from work but my period's 4 days late and I have all those lovely symptoms). I want to know if any of you get your "morning sickness" in the evening. I'm fine in the morning but at about 6 (just as I'm leaving work and have to sit in traffic for an hour) I start to feel ill. It makes my drive home oh so pleasant. Any of you ladies experience this?

Answer 1

Yes, I definitely had "nighttime sickness", instead of in the morning when I was pregnant. I would be fine the whole day, but as soon as it's night time, the nausea kicks in - which was actually not too bad because by the time the nausea was at its worst, it was about time for bed, so most of the time I just slept it off. I never got sick in the morning. Morning sickness is just a term used to refer to the nausea one gets while pregnant. It can happen at any time of the day, for some unlucky ones, their morning sickness lasts all day.

Try sucking on some ginger pops/suckers/lollipops - I heard that it helps curb down nausea. What worked for me were saltine crackers, I kept them in my purse.

Goodluck!

Answer 2

If your test came out negative, you may either have taken the test too soon, or you may not be pregnant.

A late period can be due to travel, fatigue, stress, or just believing that you're pregnant when you're not.

Morning sickness could be from mild food poisoning, stress, or just believing that you're pregnant. If you were having true morning sickness, you would be feeling a little sick when your stomach is too full or too empty - this can happen morning or night.

Frequent urination can be caused by UTI, stress, or just plain drinking a lot of water because it's summer.

Darkening of nipples can be caused by hormonal balance, from a late period.

Food cravings happen in people who are not pregnant. Hence the Arby's commercials.

As you can see - all of the "usual signs of pregnancy" - can be caused by something else. The only way to confirm a pregnancy - is a postive pregnancy test, and a confirmation from the doctor. Otherwise, it's just your mind playing tricks on you.

If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.

Answer 4

My "morning sickness" was usually from around 2:30 in the afternoon to 7:00 at night. I also commute 45 minutes during this time frame. I feel your pain...literally. During the first trimester I often wondered if I would have to pull over on the side of the road to just sit and feel bad. I even kept an empty pringles can in my car just in case I needed a container to throw up into. I always kept saltines within arms reach and would slowly nibble on them the whole way home. Oh, the days I ran out of saltines before I got home...uggh!

Answer 5

I got sick to my stomach at all times of the day and night while I was pregnant with my daughter; I didn't have any sickness with my boys' pregnancies. I don't think that at just 4 days late you should just assume you are even with "symptoms". Stress can do really strange things to your body; I often skip months.Go see your doctor so you can be sure either way and start to consider your options; and try not to worry. This is a situation women have faced for thousands of years and you live in a world with tons of options . You can handle this, but find out for sure from a doctor or midwife; you deserve it and the potential baby does too.

Answer 6

Yep, the only "morning" sickness I ever had was in the evening... with both of my pregnancies... don't know why though. I approached the subject with my doctor and she said that it was normal and not to worry about it. Although, usually morning sickness doesn't kick in until about 6 to 8 weeks. So maybe you are just freaking yourself out about it and that's why you are feeling ill? Just a thought... hope it all works out the way you want it to.

Answer 7

Congratulations! I never really got morning sickness, but as a teacher I was unable to eat whenever I wanted and I noticed in the afternoon, I got a bit lightheaded. Have a snack to eat on the way home, also make sure you are drinking enough water. You also want to make sure you are taking prenatal vitamins. Your iron level can drop when you are pregnant. When you go to the doctor they will probably check your iron, but the vitamins will help. I hope this helps.

Answer 8

i know exactly what you mean. i am 9 weeks and my "morning sickness" always hits around 5 or 6 o'clock in the evening. i've started eating a little something around 4 to help. my doctor said part of the cause of morning sickness is low blood sugar and to eat several small meals during the day instead of 3. good luck!!

Answer 9

Some women get morning sicknes 24/7 I had mine whenever it chose to pop up its ugly head. I heard that pepermint gum or smelling lemons ( or sucking on lemon drops) helps the nausea go away. Also I knew i was pregnant before the tests told me I was. i was 2 months pregnant when my tests finaly came up positive. If you know you are preggers go to an OB and have them take a pee sample to start your prenatal visits very ver imprtant for a healthy baby!!!

Answer 10

Morning sickness is not relegated to mornings only. Different things set off the hormonal imbalance in your system at various times of the day. Don't worry this is normal.
