Why do they call it Morning Sickness?

[BalloonzForU]

It's not morning and I feel like crap. :sick2: I'm not throwing up but I feel like I'm going to at any min and it's not fun.

I didn't go through this with my other two at all...... I was the one that got called every name in the book for not being sick once during pregnancies, now I'm about to call myself some names for having it!!

I've now lost five pounds because I feel sick to my stomach and the sight of food makes me sick.

man... that sounds horrible! I get some bad nausea myself from hormonal fluctuations... so I can sympathize with the 'sight of food makes me sick' thing. haha. I'm sure it will pass... and you'll be feeling like you're used to in no time! Stay positive!

I thought I was alone in this! I too get nausea from hormonal fluctuations. It stinks! I can eat and then all of the sudden feel sick in the middle of a meal and lose my appetite. :main_rolleyes:

I'm sorry you feel so bad Fe! :main_no:

Felicia, it's all a LIE............just like women are really pregnant for 10 months (lunar) not nine - I think they just do it to make us feel better about getting pregnant. "Sure, you're only sick in the morning. Sure, you're only pregnant nine months." :main_laugh:

Make sure you eat a little something all day long......though the very thought of it may make you want to barf!! Hang in there...........

Wow... I am SOOO behind! Didn't even know you were expecting, Fe! Congratulations!

If you're still in your first trimester, it should regulate out in the 4th month.
If you're further along than that, though, Sweetie, you have all my love. Saltine crackers and bottled water. Talk to the doc so you can get something to possibly stop some of the queezies. Be sure to stay hydrated, though. Dehydration can make those symptoms worse.

Congrats again, Fe. Hope you get past this quickly and have a wonderful, safe pregnany and a healthy, beautiful baby! :main_thumbsup:

Thanks K!

I'm 6 weeks and I feel like I'm 20 weeks. I didn't think I was old till now.....lol

 

[moosassah]

Blame it on the man!!! I say that as a mom twice over Sorry you feel like crap. I sure hope you're feeling better soon.

 

[BalloonzForU]

Why not we blame Ken for every thing else!!! lol

 

[Grinning Geckos]

I don't think you want to blame Ken for what we were talking about last night! LOL

Sorry to hear about the morning sickness Fe. I had horrible morning sickness with my little girl. Saltines and candied ginger worked for me. Of course you need to have a taste for ginger to take it. Nothing beats sipping water throughout the day. Good luck in finding something that will settle your stomach. If you can find grapefruit extract as a perfume, smell small amounts throughout the day. It can actually help with nausea. After the 3rd-4th month it should ease up.

 

[BalloonzForU]

LOL No I'll blame Eric for that!!


Ken's at fault for everything else! lol


(it's a joke amoung friends, we are not man bashing!)

Interesting..... is that why I have been craving grapefruits?

 

[geckohaven]

were your first two boys? we had a girl as our first and she was sick ever day till she had the baby. but as you may know it is worth ever thing you have to deal with. so from all the dads on here, THANKS FOR PUTTING UP WITH ALL THAT CRAP SO I DONT HAVE TOO.

Could be, you never know. I craved chicken ceasar salads, blueberries, and iced mocha chocolate from dunkin donuts the whole pregnancy. I also lost my taste for beer. Can't seem to enjoy it at all anyway, just tastes disgusting whenever I have it. The first 3 months of my pregnancy, I couldn't stand the smell of chocolate. I would be so ill if I got a small whiff of it. :sick2:

 

[Grinning Geckos]

You might crave grapefruits for more vitamin C - it's loaded. I find things that smell like peppermint help, so long as I'm smelling it at least! LOL As soon as it's gone, the nausea is right back.

 

[BalloonzForU]

Daughter is 16, son is 10 years old.

Ken says if this isn't a boy it goes back in cause it's not done cooking..... apparently he only makes boys...ummmm he only has one other child to base this on.....LOL


With my daughter I craved Resees Cups, with my son I didn't crave anything at all. I'm not so sure I'm really craving anything as of yet. I was starting to eat right, right around the time I got pregnant to try to loose some weight, grapefruit and salads just happened to be in that diet. I usually don't keep to the grapefruit though cause too much citrus blisters my tongue but it hasn't done so yet, and I've been having one or two a day.

 

[BalloonzForU]

Apparently Ken and I have a stalker who thinks it's her business to know if I'm pregnant or not, or to know what animals I keep, because I'm marrying her ex-husband.

She doesn't seem to know who she's messing with or the fact that I will have my lawyers all over her with a restraining order if she doesn't stop harassing Ken and myself. If you think you have a right to know any of this info because of Devin, take it to court where is should be not with harassing phone calls, I'll be happy to have my lawyers answer any of your questions.

Just a piece of warning as well, I'm in a high risk pregnancy and if you put my baby at risk even more with your harassing, I will make sure that you face a legal battle that you have no way of getting out from underneath!!

 

[techgirl]

Fe, I'm sorry to hear you have to go through this. Hopefully she will back off. Rest alot and please try not to stress. Take care of the wee baby. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

 

[Grinning Geckos]

You tell her, Fe! It's uncalled for.

 

[BalloonzForU]

See I couldn't care less what she knows about me or that Ken and I are having a baby and getting married. What I do care about is that she thinks any of it is her business. If she wants to be an internet stalking cause she has no life of her own to read every post Ken and I make, have at it, it's a free country. I just draw the line to the harassing phone calls.

I also don't like the games she is playing with her own son just to get back at Ken. Amanda, all you're doing is hurting your own son by telling him the things you are. Devin doesn't deserve what you are doing to him, he's a great kids. For a nine year old to quote our post over the phone, you know someone is feeding him a line of BS without all the facts.
