hi all,
im about to turn 13weeks pregnant on sunday. this is going to be my third baby. and ever since week 7 if been having a really ruff ride. every kind of pain and pregnancy symptoms have been thrown in my direction. i never had any symptoms while pregnant with my two little boys apart from feeling abit sick now and then. now all i do is throw up. i hardly ever eat as if i do i just promtly throw it back up. i get really bad head aches every night, im consently tired, the smell of food makes me sick, cleaning my teeth makes me sick, even taking my folic acid of a morning makes me sick. of a morning i try to eat a peice of fruit and i cant even keep this down, i eat a grape earlier and that made me sick. i feel like just throwing my diners down the toilet as thats were they will end up any way. ive heard ppl say that it gets better as you go in to your second timester but nothings changed for me. if anything my symptoms seem to be getting worst. any advice? thanks all

I'm in the same boat as you. I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow ( we're a day apart) and my symptoms won't stop either. With my daughter they were gone ay 12 weeks so this really sucks. Good luck to you, nothing works for me.

This is my first baby and I had all those symptoms from about the second month through the third or fourth month. For me it was due to excess saliva. The doctor said this is normal, and said that after the first trimester it was ok to take a plain antihistimine when things got really bad, like when I couldn't keep food down. You should call your own doctor or a nurse at their office though to make sure that you get the right treatment for you. Certainly if you cannot keep food or even your vitamin down you should call your doctor's office asap. Until you can get a hold of them, just try to hang in there, I know it's tough. Eat plain things, like crackers if that's all you can stomach. And avoid all strong smelling things, like perfumes.

see a doctor there is a rare sickeness that one in 200 women get while pregnant that you can't do anything but throw up. no food or or even water. you can run the risk of dehydration. Seek a doctor and make sure it is not that and is just nausea. But my doctor said that should all stop about 12 weeks the nausea and stuff. Good luck. Not a horrible thing to have (well yes it is) becuase you can't keep anything down but they need to know so they can iv you and do some extra steps to get nutrition into your body.

I think there are alot of us out there who know exactly how you feel and completely sympathise. :) I had horrible sickness from teh time I woke up till teh time I went to bed, and even waking up in the middle of the night sick sometimes.
I barely ate at all it was hit and miss what I woudl eat. One day I could eat one thing adn really want it, the next day the thought of it would make me ill. I am finally starting to feel better after 18 weeks. So there is some hope out there. I hope you start to feel better really soon. Keep on trying different foods. You will eventually find on that really comforts you :)

As a healthcare provider I do not like to give drugs to pregnant women. I have found that ginger works well. You can buy it in capsules at most healthfood stores. Take one or two capsules when you are nauseated. It's one of the reasons Ginger Ale works for nausea. Ginger itself has a rather strong taste (even to make tea), so the capsules work better. Works for motion sickness, or any kind of nausea.

All I can say is that I'm totally in the same boat. My pregnancy now is totally different (and worse) than my first. Hang in there, the baby will eventually come, which can only make things better!

I had horrible all day sickness that didn't leave until 18 weeks. Hang in there it does get a little better.
