Still sick!

@Chelsea OMG yes! It definitely feels like it increased a little this week and that is my first time experiencing that during my second trimester. I guess that’s why I’m on here whining about it lol Hopefully we both get the relief that we need soon because it’s HARD 😩
I am 14 weeks 1 day and suffering so much still. Ugh!!
@Andree I’ll add that I’m also in that acid reflux boat. Literally EVERYTHING gives me acid reflux, even water I swear. I took Pepcid over the weekend, but then I threw up so I’m afraid to take it again 😭 Not that that’s what caused it, but still
@Monica Oh man! It sucks so much doesn’t it? 😔 Praying we all get better soon 🙏🏽
I use the anti nausea bracelet every day. Sometimes it helps as long as I eat something every hour or two. And I use the tums gummies + nausea and pink stork nausea candies. It’s helped me maintain the nausea even though I’m going to be 13 weeks. Still feels like it’s not getting better tho lol
@Chelsea I totally believe you with the water because it does me the same way. I will tell you the worst night I’ve had so far is when I took Tums and it made me throw up three or four times that night. I went through it for about three or four hours. I don’t know if I did not have enough food on my stomach to begin with or what. I took Tums with my second daughter and it worked like a charm but I will NOT be taking it with this one anymore. 😂
@Andree Yes it’s almost like reducing the acid makes it worse sometimes! Except one night it was so bad that that’s when I took the Pepcid. It helped slightly, but when I took it again the next night, that’s the night I threw up! I do not understand.
@Chelsea You totally understand what I am going through because that is EXACTLY how I feel. It’s so frustrating.
@Andree UGH I hate that we’re both going through this! It’s nice knowing someone else understands the struggle, but I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I hope we both get relief soon! 🥲
@Lisa I tried the bracelets for a while and I just couldn’t tell much of a difference. Maybe I will try putting those back on now and see if they will help a little more now. Preggie Pops unfortunately did not work for me but a brand called Upspring helped a smidge. Gosh, just ready to feel better lol
@Chelsea I agree! Well I guess fingers crossed 🤞
Im right there too! 14+4 and I’m so depressed with how sick I am. Even when I attempt to get out and do something it’s usually a short errand or appointment and then I have to rest all day. I have zero appetite, can’t drink water, and I have to force feed myself even though nothing tastes good :( I was sick the whole pregnancy with my first so I’m struggling to hope this will get better but every pregnancy is different. @Andree new fear unlocked…I’m taking unisom and b6 (not even sure it helps) but now you just scared me! How is your child’s heart murmur?
@Brielle Ugh 😩 I have certainly been depressed about it as well. I have been constantly thinking about what birth controls we will be putting into place because this is my final one and I don’t think I can mentally handle another pregnancy. I am happy about the baby, but it is mentally draining to be sick all day long. I was sick with my first one for the first three or four months or so. My second one I was sick until the fourth month and that is when they introduced me to the Unisom and B6. I took it the rest of the pregnancy. I remember trying to stop taking it one day and I, almost threw up the next day so I went right back on it. Please don’t be scared. Full disclosure I do have a brother with a heart murmur. Some people say it can be hereditary and some say it is not but being that she is the only one I took any medication with I just wanted to be extra cautious. Thankfully it is a small one and it doesn’t hinder her from regular activities. They monitored her until 3 years old.
@Andree thank you for sharing about your daughter. Glad she is doing ok now :) I typically prefer no medications at all and going as holistic and natural as possible. I thought unisom and b6 was a more “natural” option…I’ll have to look more into it :( I don’t want to harm my baby!

@Brielle Thank you so much! Yes, I totally understand and am the same way. I know some people have no choice but to take something but I figured I would do my best to survive without it. Crazy thing is it worked wonders for me in that pregnancy. I went from bedridden to absolutely normal in two days.
I am 14 weeks and in the same boat. It’s becoming really old. I feel like my body is creating lava and that paired with the post nasal drip and nausea, EVERYTHING comes back up!
@Bri My goodness we’re all living the same lives 😩 I am so tired of it. It’s not even funny. Every time I wake up in the morning, I hope and pray that this is the day that I feel like I am somewhat back to normal and it never happens. I know we all love our babies, but definitely can’t wait to till this part is over with 😂
@Bri Omg the post nasal drip too YES. Like WHY?!
@Chelsea I am currently sitting here with my box of tissues pretty sick just constantly spitting out the crud running down the back of my throat. 😅
Just hit 16 weeks 1 day and I’m FINALLY not sick. My nausea was so constant and so bad right to the end of the 15 week mark so you are not alone!
@Jess I am so happy for you and cannot wait to join you 😂 I am 16 weeks today and lying in bed waiting on that day. Did you just wake up one day and felt normal again or was it gradual?
Not alone, I’m 14 weeks and 1 day and struggling still with constant all day and night nausea. It’s almost like it got worse this week. I ended up actually vomiting on Tuesday and it was awful. I can’t wait until this passes and really hoping it does 😭
