Extreme Morning Sickness // What I Ate & How I Coped

[@PrepDish]

Anything else you would like me to cover regarding first trimester or pregnancy???

[@allieferrel]

The super sniffer. Is it any better as the nausea is getting better or is it still just as bad?

[@OGkgsg]

I sleep like 20 hours a day. I don’t want to wake up because it is horrible to wake up into this sickness.

[@PrepDish]

Sorry to hear you are struggling with this. It is SO hard, but it does get better!

[@Yooncelebtarot]

I am wondering how I can work with this sickness… I never felt this way during my first pregnancy and now I can barely get out of bed

[@nzcarlie]

This is me right now 😭

[@KaroAdC]

Exactly

[@christinathomas3895]

I am going through this right now and having a wicked hard time. I am only 6 weeks and your video is the most relatable to me. I am generally a healthy person but I am so sick I cannot even function and am afraid I will never go back to feeling like myself. I love vegetables but cannot even think about eating them. I have tried all the home remedies and nothing works. I am starting to feel depressed. I did not expect this to happen to me this bad. Thank you for sharing your experience. Makes me realize I am not crazy at least but man this is SO HARD!

[@issaVybz-tf4lw]

Are you feeling any better now?

[@aplinmopikil21]

I'm going through it right now too.. I really can't function. We'll get through this.. Amen

[@seashells1460]

I'm going through this too. It's honestly awful lol. I love food but can't eat anything. Water is hard to keep down. Im with you though we can do this!

[@krykat.]

It’s making me feel so depressed too. Every day I feel like “I can’t handle this anymore”.

[@seashells1460]

@@krykat. it will get better! I know it might not be the same for you every body is different but when I eliminated some of my stressers, my morning sickness has improved exponentially. Being physically and emotionally comfortable, if possible might help with physical. Also taking vitamin B for some reason has helped me not throw up nearly as much. But again it might not work for everyone. Sending lots of love your way this too shall pass!

[@LoveisnotAVictim]

Morning sickness really plays with your mind and mental health. Eating and throwing up an entire meal is defeating. I took off two weeks of work because how bad it had got and I’m now I am in my 12th week. Still nauseous and vomiting. Foods high in sodium, fruit, and water have been god sent. And now I have pressure bands that you mentioned in video to help. But shheessh. Great video!!! I watched it few times and I just relate so much because I understood everything you had been going through.

[@LoveisnotAVictim]

Also everything helped until it didn’t just like you said. Gatorade was great until I threw it up. I think because it was so high in sugar.

[@PrepDish]

@@LoveisnotAVictim agreed! it was so hard to "stock up" on what worked, because it would change... Glad the video helped!

[@cristinaturlacu]

Thank you for the honesty! It’s difficult to go through the usual recommendations when you have to deal with severe morning sickness. I even found water could make me nauseous until I switched to mineral water, but it had to be really cold. I admire all of you who touch the less glamorous part of pregnancy.

[@kyleplancich921]

That felt super understanding without putting any guilt trips on us who are just trying to survive!! You helped me not feel guilty about being in bed so much. I even have 5 kids already and this was still a helpful reminder because it’s so real every time!! Thank you!!

[@MrsCelesteB]

I just spent the last week crying because being sick is so painful and awful. I cry myself to sleep. On nausea meds, couldn’t imagine what it would be like without them

[@ilszi1440]

Your video really helped me a lot, it's as if I listened to my own story. I'm 14 weeks, optimistically waited for the 2nd trimester when theoretically 'you are like taken out of the box', but nothing has changed yet 😖: constant nausea, staying in bed most of the day, tiredness, feeling depressed, hardly drinking (daily ratio 0.5-1 liter). Thanks for good advice & encouraging, and hang on all mamas with difficult pregnancies!!

[@sereia1381]

It's called hyperemesis gravidarum, it's much more severe than morning sickness. Happy for you that this nightmare has finally come to an end.

[@breannastrother9501]

This is so helpful. I dont know anyone that's going through the morning sickness I am going through and I can 100% relate to you!

[@christinathomas3895]

Has your sickness subsided? I am in the midst of it and I’m afraid that it’s never going to go away.

[@pikabamboo4175]

I am just now,i even lost a lot of weight,and im just 24/7 sick and extremely tired all the time..vomit air as soon as i get to the bathroom to brush my teeth,it takes all of my energy..and in bed doing nothing so im not sick is just too much ..i get bored

[@alibri8388]

I’m feeling this right now. Everyone looks at me like I’m crazy when they see or hear how sick I am

[@SEanderson01]

This was the first video to really resonate me after watching many, many KZbin videos. I'm 14.5 weeks now and feeling ever so slightly better than I did at week 12 but it has been such a long road and such a different experience to what I thought being pregnant would be. Nothing works, and everyone pushes eating healthy but if you can't keep it down then you just have to eat what you can. Thank you for sharing this! It really helped, and gives me hope for the 17th week!

[@rabouala]

How are you? Any better?

[@Bella-Mae0422]

I am 9 weeks pregnant now and I am so miserable from my morning sickness. The smell of food makes me feel so sick and whenever I eat almost anything I throw it back up. Plus atm me and my man are going through the process of getting a new home to raise the child together and we are living with his great aunt who has no idea that I'm pregnant. In fact nobody in his family knows bc they'll most like judge us and think the worse of everything. My family knows and they're supportive but they're in another state. This is very scary and I'm always sick and I have to pretend like I'm not pregnant to avoid negativity and drama. And we also have to be out by November. I just hope things get better I'm not even due until late April.

[@destinylemon5037]

Have you gotten any better?

[@Bella-Mae0422]

@@destinylemon5037 I have. We're actually doing better now with work, we both got jobs, hoping to get a place by December and my morning sickness hasn't been a where near as bad! We finally told his parents. They weren't happy at first but slowly starting to be ok with it. Thank you!

[@sweetlb331]

Six weeks four days. So nauseated from the moment I wake until I finally fall asleep exhausted. Living on saltines and vitamin water. Ginger made me nauseated pre pregnancy, and is even worse now. I work in medicine, and cannot call off of work ever (no back up call), so have been struggling this week terribly at work. Also just closed on a house and moving this week. I desperately need to pack, but getting up and moving around, let alone packing boxes, is awful. So grateful to hear this real talk and know that I'm not alone.

[@colombinearlequine]

That’s tough.. hope it got better!!

[@vvviiiiiicccc]

I'm so glad I bumped into this video. I'm 8 weeks pregnant, and the past 8 days have been terrible. I slept so much, worst headache ever, and refused to touch any vegetables. All I eat are vegetables, and it was weird when my body had no desire to touch it; same with water. Oh, and I miss exercising. So tired of being horizontal. Lol. Now, I'm just venting, but it feels good to do so. Thanks 🙂

[@TheMissySue]

how was your pregnancy? did it subside after the first trimester? i’m 8 weeks and going through it😢

[@vvviiiiiicccc]

@@TheMissySue my pregnancy was beautiful! My son is now 3.5 months old 💙 I felt so so much better after the first trimester! It's so crazy, like a switch. You'll still have new symptoms but nothing like the first. I hope you have a beautiful healthy pregnancy.

[@majesticashlock9561]

Thank you for making this. You took the words right out of my mouth. You described everything perfectly. I was wondering if the extreme all day sickness was normal. Definitely feel a lot better after watching this.

[@PrepDish]

unfortunately for some women, it is very normal :/

[@kalejay16]

I’m battling morning sickness now. I’m almost 7 weeks and I’ve been dreading getting up in the mornings. I find myself starving but then when I get out of bed I have to go straight to the trash to throw up. And then I’m afraid to eat something because throwing up food is worse than throwing up bile or water.

[@mariaturner3889]

I'm 7 weeks, have hyperemises and just can't deal with how miserable I am. 😭😭

[@jaceysantos8177]

Thank you for your video. This was so spot on. I am struggling so bad.

[@GridIronHillFarm]

This describes EVERY single one of my 12 pregnancies. Hearing your descriptions takes me right back 😂

[@kat.699]

How did you though through it 12 times? This is my first and given how awful I feel, do not intend on having another.

[@GridIronHillFarm]

@@kat.699honestly, it’s one of those things you KINDA forget about until you’re back in the middle of it again, or if someone starts describing it. I always hoped I could find the “secret sauce” each time around to make it better but I never did find it. 😂

[@raven6540]

I swear this could be me talking in this video. Everything you said is exactly how my second pregnancy is going. One minute something sounds good and the next minute it makes me gag. I too can’t drink much water. I also start gagging about to throw up without any warning which is awkward at work and in public. So I started drinking Gatorade. All was well until I threw up an entire bottle at work. It’s terrible to be starving and not one thing in the world sounds good to eat nor drink! It is very defeating!

It’s nice as I lay here in bed to watch someone else that understands and has been through the same situation. I don’t really have anyone I know that has dealt with it that badly

[@allieferrel]

Thank you for sharing! I’m experiencing a lot of the same. I can’t eat most days, and before I got Zofran, even sipping water triggered my gag reflex. I’ve got oral thrush now cuz all I could eat was bagels or saltines. But now I can’t eat anything. Once that’s gone, I’m really hoping to find food my body will tolerate. Best of luck to you and your family!

[@samanthalucijasmolec3705]

I had hyperemesis in my first two pregnancies and now it occured again in the third. The thing I find the worst is that it's really hard to get a medical prescription of something that would reduce the nausea. I was told to simply "go to the ER" if I get dehydrated but that no meds are available. It's frustrating to know that there are solutions out there, but in Croatia, they simply won't prescribe it to you. :(

[@Cezsmile]

Small mandarins that one's that are sweet & sour have helped me with nausea and headaches.

[@nisagitty196]

Ice chips. Ice is how I'm staying hydrated. I can't really commit to anything, food-wise. I can't wait for this time to pass.
