I'm about 5 weeks pregnant and I have had
morning sickness since about maybe week 4
- I notice though that I will have
horrible nausea, no desire to eat, and
throwing up at least once a day.
Then it will go away slightly - the nausea
and vomiting for about 1-2 days. This
has happened twice.
Today is wednesday - I felt horrible
monday and tuesday, up until tuesday
evening when I craved mashed potatoes.
So I ate a little mashed potatoes and felt
better. Then wednesday morning, I ate
crackers before I got out of bed and while
I don't feel 100% like myself, I could get
through the day without naseau.
I'm worried that there might by something
wrong or is this normal??

This is completely normal. Some women
have it for the entire 9 months..While
others have it a couple weeks...Days...Or
never..(like me)...
I was lucky enough to not have any morning
sickness at all.
You'll get over it... Just think at the
end what kind of prize you'll get for
going through it...
Good luck

Ok, then I guess I feel a little more
comfortable. I just got nervous that if
the morning sickness went away so suddenly
before the anticipated 12th week, there
was something wrong with the baby. I'm
just nervous until I see my doctor and
know everything is ok with the baby.
I didn't have any problems with my
daughter. No morning sickness or
anything.

Dont worry.... Ur morning sickness is not
even as bad as it gets...My morning
sickness started at about 7 weeks and it
was bad...I could not eat or drink
anything...I threw up at least 5-6 times a
day and when I didnt have food in the
tummy I would throw up stomach acids (its
soo gross).. Well I am now 15 weeks and
so far i've lost close to 18 pounds..
Although I am starting to feel better.....
So ur totaly fine and this is normal...

Nothing is wrong. My fiance's sister had
the same issue. It looks like it runs in
the family. She was sick everyday nearly
24 hours a day. She couldn't hold food
down at all. After eating a little she'd
throw it back up. She spend her first
pregnancy horrified. Then for her second
pregnancy the doc prescribed her a
medicine that reduces morning sickness.
Her mother was the same way. Sick
everyday during her 4 pregnancies and
every kid is a-ok!!

Can morning sickness happen anytime of the
day? I'm not sure but I feel horrible
after I get through eating. Also what is
a good website that will tell you week by
week how you feel and what is happening to
your body?

Hi! I'm 11 weeks and I feel the sickest
in the afternoons and around tea time. My
mum gave me a book to read to help me
answer questions and queries I have...
It's called everywoman. It's great, it
shows you pictures of the baby at certain
weeks and tells you what you can expect in
the coming weeks.

Ha !! I have that same book. I've got a
couple of good ones.
This is my 2nd pregnancy, the first time
'round I was never sick at all- a couple
of morning's I didn't feel fabulous, but
once I got up, dressed and out to work I
was fine- I could even drink a coffee once
I got there (just one a day)
this time, I started feeling sick before I
even missed my period, and it was on and
off throughout the day, it got worse and
worse for the next few weeks- i'd wake up
in the middle of the night sick, and not
be able to go back to sleep. I wasn't
hungry, and couldn't stand the thought of
most foods. It peaked when I was about 8
or 9 weeks along- by that stage all I
could face eating was oranges, icy
poles(ice-lollies, popsicles whatever) and
occasionally, every copuple of days or so,
a toasted cheese sandwich. Nothing
helped. It all stopped pretty suddenly at
about 10 weeks or so.
I was lucky it ended so early- my friend's
mum was still throwing up on the morning
she gave birth, with all 3 of her
kids!!!!
I've heard a sudden absence of pregnancy
symptoms can be a sign of miscarriage, but
it wasn't in my case- anyway, I had other
sypmtoms besides nausea-like brest
soreness, and frequent urination- i'm now
23 weeks along, and my nipples are still
sore, and I still have to get up 3 or 4
times a night to urinate.
I wouldn't worry too much about the
sickness coming and going. I'd make the
most of the good days, and only worry if I
had cramps or bleeding or something more
obvious like that.

make sure to decapitalize the last h in
htm! And scroll down a bit when you get
to the page.

experiences something different and even

lifesaver for me!!!
