Answer 1

Welcome to motherhood, its all about compromise. You need to choose if you want to be sick or tired !! Haha I would stick with the tired if I was you. I have baddd morning sickness, well not even mornign sickness all day sickness. Good luck.

Answer 2

I'm queen of this I wonder if your on Phenergan if so yeah your tired. I took half of my pregnancy I was High risk and did a study for this try chewing big red gum all the time it helps with the nausea and chew piece by piece until the flavor runs out. Also call your OB and ask if you can take Compazine another form nauseau medication.

Good luck honey trust me I know how you feel

Answer 3

See if you can get Buccastem. (English name??) You put them underneath your top gum to dissolve, they don't make you sleepy though they don't taste very nice either, but they do work. Also try natural products or alternatives. I found ginger helped a little, but I also went through phases of eating salt and vinegar crisps, and when they stopped working, plain rolls. I was really ill with nausea and collapsed a few times at the start of pregnancy because I couldn't eat. I was told to try a magnetic bracelet around my wrist, but never managed that one. It is supposed to work though. Good luck, hope you feel better soon!

Answer 4

Ask your doctor for Zofran. It is what they gave me when I was pregnant. I don't remember it having any side-effects and I only had to take it every 8 hrs as needed. But, I'm thinking you might just be tired - not from the medicine - but from your hormonal changes. Most people taking medicine for morning sickness are doing so during their first trimester and I remember being exhausted during that time. I too had to work but I would rather work being tired than being sick.

Answer 5

Ask for a lower dosage. I'll assume you are probably taking Phenegran, it doesn't normally make you sleepy. The fatigue could simply be from the pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about some alternate methods. Otherwise, 7up and crackers worked good for me. lol

Answer 6

THis sounds funny.. but peppermint.. prevents nausea.. When I was prego with my son.. i was soooo nauseous.. and i carried a small tube of toothpaste around with me.. and when i felt bad.. i took it out of my purse and smelled it.. and the nausea went away..

Try natural remedies.. those pills CANT be good for you..

The stuff doctors tell us is not ALWAYS the best answer.. Look around at some Homeopathic remedies first..

Good luck to you..

Answer 7

i'd stop. I've never heard of a pill for morning sickness. Look it up online and see what it says. Just tough thur it. It'll be over soon. You have to have a life right? lol! good luck.

Answer 8

I'm not really sure... you should speak to your physician... maybe he'll advise you to either suck it up and live with the sleepiness, or live with the nausea... it's really something that you should speak to your doctor about.

Have a safe pregnancy... and congratulations :)

Answer 9

You can do 1 of 2 things. Take your pills and be sleepy or don't take them and be nauseous.

Answer 10

I would talk it over with my doctor if I were you. Sometimes natural methods my work better. Like ginger.

Good Luck
