Am I the only one???

Question

I just have to see if I am alone here. I'm almost 18 weeks and my whole pregnancy I have been nauseous consistently and vomiting occasionally. But the last month or so it has gotten worse! I can't eat ANYTHING before like 2 in the afternoon or else I WILL throw it back up. Like today. It was 1:30 and I had fettuccine 🙃🙃 Guess what happened? It really sucks. And even when I told my doctor she thought it was super weird but said as long as I get my nutrients in after 2 I should be fine but I am STARVING during the day but if I eat anything I will vomit. Even if I feel fine! Anyone else?

Answer

I was sick all through my first trimester up until I was about 15 or 16 weeks and then it thankfully went away because I was repulsed by everything. I couldn't eat, if I did it would come back up. Worst part is that it would be random times, so some days in the morning, some days in the afternoon and some days at night and some days all day!! When I was about 13 weeks my boyfriend took me to a concert and I threw up for like 10 minutes in the parking lot before we went in haha it was the worst!

Answer

You may have hyperemesis. Keep a journal of intake of food, drink, and keep track of how many times you're sick, to bring to your next appointment.

I had it with my first, and they just take more labs to make sure you're not deficient in anything, and supplemented vitamins as needed.

I was so sick I needed a nasal gastric tube a few times, and IVs to keep hydrated.

The baby got what he needed, I was the miserable one. Hydration is key, and I drank ensure once a day if I couldn't eat. Pediasure popsicles were the main way I stayed hydrated.  I munched on crackers throughout the day to avoid stomach pain from hunger.

So sorry you're so sick, I can really sympathize.
