i spent this past weekend eating out with my mother-in-law, siser-in-law and k, and then several hours later puking up whatever it was we ate. sunday was the only day in the past few weeks i've felt even remotely human, and of course it was also the only day i was all by myself- d was on his way home from portland, m-i-l and kafkaesquedream went home sunday

I have to take my vitamin at night so I don't yak it up. I feel lucky to keep down breads and water or soda. My cousin can't even keep down water and has lost 20 lbs in the last month. There are other medicines for nausea. I'm on a stomach med that helps some - Protonyx, it's also for heartburn but it helps with the nausea. It's still expensive though, I think all anti-nausea meds are expensive.

Hang in there - I hope you feel better soon.

oh dear, you're still feeling awful? i was looking at the second trimester as the "light at the end of the tunnel" as far as nausea is concerned.
i'm going to start taking my vitamin at night to see if that helps, thanks for the idea. hope you feel better too!

With my first child I was sick only through the first trimester, this one is different. I was violently ill for the first trimester and then had mild nausea the rest of the time until this nasty heat and humidity hit here, now I spend my time working really hard not to yak. Everyone is different, you may end up being ok in the second trimester, I thought you were already there, you can take more meds once you hit the second trimester.

I'm only 9 weeks, so I've got a few weeks to go until the 2nd tri.
I totally agree with you that the heat makes nausea worse, I have to keep ziplock bags in my car because it's been hot here as well, and being in the car those first few minutes I nearly always get sick.

I am so sorry! I was so upset that Billy was not going and as cute as Elwood is, it is just not enough. Sean really does not do much for me/us and as lovely as JRD is... it is just way too much money to spend when there is really no one we really want to see.

But when we were at ORC, we met lots of people who were solo and everyone is so nice! You will still have a great time!

I don't blame you at all for not wanting to go now, Billy is your baby LOL! I just joined two ELF communities so hopefully I'll hook up with some cool LJ-ers there. I wish I was able to go to ORC instead, too...it's just not possible with my pregnancy. & watch Dom be able to go to ORC now, too...dammit! ;)

Good! I am glad you don't hate me!! You take care of that baby!!

Poor pukey...
I hear that many women get sick from the prenatal vitamins, and that going to a regular women's multi for a while helped alleviate a lot. Maybe that could be an option?

[duchess_k]

my dr actually suggested that if i think it's the prenatals aggravating my nausea, to switch to 2 flintstones chewable vitamins a day for the next few weeks and go back to prenatals in the 2nd trimester.

[duchess_k]

Give it a try, then! Can't hurt, you know? You could get your folic acid from food, because you might be able to keep some down!
