Constant nausea

Hi need some help. I am currently 9 weeks 3 days pregnant and have had the worst nausea since 5 weeks. I haven’t actually ever been sick but the feeling of sickness is constant. I have found that eating helps but the weight gain is not helpful. I am still in the office 5 days a week and they don’t know so I am really struggling to not cry. Does anyone have any recommendations to help with the nautious feeling? I am going to the midwife tomorrow so would Be good if i had something I could ask for that works. Thank you

I’d really consider telling your work if you feel comfortable doing so. My nausea was so bad after Christmas, I needed to tell my manager so I could have a bit of grace with time in the office in January, because I really needed it.

The things that help me the most are those sickness travel bands too, just need to wear long sleeves to work

Sometimes the constant torture of feeling sick is worse than being sick!! Is there anyone at work who you can talk to? I tried all the ‘usual’ recommendations like ginger EVERYTHING, lemon water, plain crackers etc but nothing helped. I went to the drs and they prescribed me cyclizine which has definitely helped to take the edge off. It does make me drowsy though but I’d take that feeling any day over the constant nausea! Hang on in there! Xxx

Oh bless you, nausea is the worst!! Mine eased off after 10 weeks so hopefully it might soon for you, I used ‘ease the quease’ from my expert midwife at boots really helped!

Thank you for the recommendation. Not quite ready to talk to work yet but will try all these and hopefully get a bit of relief for the next few weeks ❤️

I told work as soon as I felt nauseous but asked my manager to keep it to herself for the time being! I also eventually went to the GP, my sickness started at week 6 and I eventually went to the doctors at week 9 - I wish I had gone sooner! They signed me off sick for 2 weeks and tried 2 different anti sickness tablets that have helped. Sadly still experience some nausea but I’m finally back at work tomorrow and I’m now 12 weeks xxx
