First four months were terrible with morning sickness and more than twice a day. Since month five, it has slowed down in frequency, but now it is once a week but violent...
Tips, advice, anything please!

Oh, honey, i'm so sorry that you're going through all of this! This point in pregnancy is supposed to be the "fun" part with not being too big and finally having morning sickness over.
My sister had morning sickness the entire pregnancy with her first two babies.
Honestly, the best advise that she could give is to make sure that you are getting plenty of rest because she always found that being tired seemed to trigger nausea. Also, I'm sure you've been told to eat only small portions several times a day, but really that is good advise.
Please know that although it's hard to imagine right now, but you will forget all of this and be glad to do it agian when you have your baby in your arms.
It's my experiance that your body should start to get used to the estrogen build up in your body over time, so perhaps this will pass before too long.
I know there's almost nothing worse when pregnant than to throw up.
Take care of yourself, get rest, and we'll all be praying for you to get a break from all of this.
God bless you and your little one!

Oh my. I am 35 weeks pregnant, and I hate to say this, but my morning sickness has yet to completely subside. In fact, I spent the entire night last night hugging the toilet. With my first child, I never had sickness, not even in the beginning. Every pregnancy is different, and for some apparently it doesn't go away. My doctor says this is normal ( I was worried too). Good luck.

I'm sorry. How many babies are you holding. I hear carrying twins can make the symptoms more intense. I was lucky I never threw up once with all my pregnancies. I think every woman/pregnancy is different. If its really uncomfortable I would go to the doctor and tell him whats going on. My friend had morning sickness once a week till she gave birth!

Yes, it's normal. Women experience pregnancy differently. Some never have a minute of morning sickness, others are sick until the baby is delivered, and still others only have it for certain parts of their pregnancies. And women change from pregnancy to pregnancy. You might have no or little morning sickness your first through fifth pregnancies, and then be sick as a dog your sixth, or vice versa.
I would suggest you call your doctor, though. There are lots of things they can do to help you not be so miserable.
Congratulations on the baby and I hope your last trimester eases up.
WebMD has a page for pregnancy related problems, including a section on how to manage morning sickness. Might have some ideas you haven't thought of.

unfortunately, it is common to still experience vomiting all thru your pregnancy and not just in the morning. with my second pregnancy, i had "all day everyday sickness" and i threw up so much that i had to go to the hospital b/c i was that dehydrated. it turned out that i had gall stones, which no one would have known since they can't give you an x-ray while you're pregnant. just try eating something before you go to bed and keep some crackers (i liked goldfish crackers) by your bed and if you wake up in the middle of the night, try to eat a handful and then eat another handful and some gatorade before you get out of bed in the morning. that should help. sorry!! but be positive, the worst is yet to come!!

Go and ask your doctor for a prescription for Zofram. It's a nausea medication made for pregnant women, having a hard time or a prolonged time with morning sickness. It can be taken when your pregnant with no problem.

I don't know how common it is, but I had a friend at work who was in the same boat. She threw up during her entire pregnancy. She always kept a box of crackers at her desk.

I call you lucky - I threw up 30 to 50 times a day until 4 hrs after my son was born! Doctor says I'd probably die if I ever get preg. again, the only thing that kept us alive was smoking pot... it's a miracle drug, I tried 6 other legal meds, nothing worked, but the docs at the hospital suggested pot, just keep it under 3 grams/day! (which is a lot!) Good luck!
