Pregnancy sickness

[fluffyteddy]

Ok so I am nearly 2 months pregnant but I am constantly feeling sick amd sometimes struggle to eat. I told my doctor but he said this was normal. Is it?

Unfortunatly morning and sometimes all day sickness is perfectly normal during pregnancy fluffyteddy. On all 4 of mine I was sick from the time I woke up till bedtime. I could only face soups,crackers and some cereals. I went right off tea and if I saw a bald man I used to chuck up bigtime..lol.For me it all stopped when I was 4 months pregnant. Try ginger biscuits they help.

I was sick every hour when I was awake until I actually had my children even while I was in labour - my mum and 1 of my daughters was the same.

My other daughter had ginger biscuits like Chinadog said but she ate a couple before she even got out of bed and found they did help stop the sickness feeling.

Get some crystalized ginger from your local health shop. It`s great for all sorts of sickness.

Poor you Fluffy, must be awful. Fortunately throught my pregnancy, so far, I've not experienced a day of sickness. I guess it's the luck of the draw. ( 20% of pregnant women don't get morning sickness). Ginger biscuits are supposed to help or other products containing ginger.

By the way, congratulations.

dont worry, its fairly normal.
i know of a woman who can only eat toast and coffee and is 7 months pregnant. She cant even keep water down and is sick 30-40 times a day.
as long as baby is growing and developing its ok, the mum just has to try her best to hold food down.
usually MS will stop at around the 12 week mark, if it doesnt or its severe then anti nausea drugs may be prescribed.

Thanks a lot for the replies. Although I still feel sick its good to hear I am not the only one to go through this. Time to stock pile the ginger nuts :)

Try eating a ginger biscuit BEFORE u sit up in bed! I suffered all through both pregnancies but found that this helped when a friend suggested it. Also ginger tea made with an infusion of fresh ginger can help with the nausea......hope u feel better soon. Good luck. xxx

yeah, fairly normal. i had it for the first 5 months it went away for a month then came back. i was that shocked when it came back i was standing in our shed and couldn't believe it and was nearly sick right there.

was awful at the time but i'm now lighter than i was before i fell pregnant so that was one of the good things that came out of the sickness

i tried everything to cure it but nothing workd. i had ginger snaps, ginger biscuits, crystalized ginger, peppermint tea

i went off tea, coffee and food. all i could eat for the first few months was cornflakes or potatoes with cheese

i could eat a take away indian or chinese but if i was to make home made indian or chinese or out of a jar i'd be sick

i was signed off my work but the doctors weren't to worried that i was only eating cornflakes or tatties. they were happy that i was eating

its meant to pass after 3 months.
