Morning sickness?

Question

Hi, Im not pregnant....YET!! But just wondering is morning sickness actually sick, or is it bile - the sour stuff!?

I dont know anything about my mothers pregnancies,she died 5 years ago when I wasnt even considering becoming a mother!

Answer 1

Mine was good old fashioned flu like vomit...unless my stomach was empty..BUT good news is that they have done a study that shows women who experienced morning sickness had a 30% less likely chance of getting breast cancer...so now I am really grateful that I was soo sick. None of the women in my family except for me and a second cousin ever exeperienced morning sickness...and we were both extreme I'm seven months and still getting sick minimum three times a week..If you do get pregnant and start throwing up bile eat something it really makes it a lot easier. Good Luck.

Answer 2

Morning sickness can mean lots of different things. For some women it's just nausea every day. For other women it's nausea and vomiting. Sometimes it's only in the mornings, but many women have it all day. It can last for a month, or for the entire 9 months.

Every pregnancy is different. And some women get NO morning sickness at all. If your mother had morning sickness, then you are more likely to also have it.

In my experience I have nausea and vomiting 24/7 for the first 4 to 5 months.

You will only know when you get pregnant what it will be like for you, or if you will be one of the lucky ones who escapes it!

Answer 3

i experienced morning sickness from about 6 weeks to about 3 months.

it seemed to happen to me first thing when i woke up, and later on in the day when i was feeling tired.... in the morning it was just bile as there was nothing else to throw up. during the evening though, it was actual sick.

i found that the best remedies were getting plenty of sleep, and making sure that i ate small, regular meals. also, it's good to remember if u do get morning sickness that for most women it only lasts til the 2nd trimester.

Depends on the woman. For some, it's a bit of dizziness, a slightly upset stomach and then itgoes away. For others, it's a all day sick stomach, anything you smell makes you want to throw up and sometimes you even do. If you do throw up and you'e eaten, likely you will throw up part of what you ate. Otherwise, bile comes out.

Each child was different for me, and it will be for you too. Wih my eldest, I was sick all day for about three weeks. With my next xhild, I had no morning sickness at all.

Answer 5

Its more of the sour stuff, but I felt like I was coming down with flu like symptoms: body ache head ache. Everyone is different though. I didnt get morning sickness just the ache.

Answer 6

hi, i'm 20 weeks and had no sickness at all, but felt a bit dodgy at times for the first 12 weeks, feelin a bit light headed but that has now past, thank god, it was awful.

i carried some plain digestives around with me to ease the feeling and it worked, ginger biscuits are very good too.

hopefully you'l be as lucky as me and won't hardly suffer.

good luck

Answer 7

It's anything and everything left in your stomach in the morning when you first get up. I read recently that a survey concluded that women who had morning sickness were less likely to have breast cancer! I'm definitely safe from that malady.

Answer 8

You feel like you wanna puke, it can also last all day long, not just a morning thing. You need to make sure you eat small meals and eat something bready in the morning.

Answer 9

My Grandma ma used to say it was caused by the amount of hair a unborn baby has.

Answer 10

I've never had morning sickness. I hear it resembles the flu.
