So, I mentioned last week that I was nervous because I had not symptoms. Well the m/s is here and it's not going away! I'm not vomiting but the nausea is unbearable!!! I feel sick all the time. I'm wearing sea bands, which have taken the edge of a little but it's not going away, drinking ginger tea, eating bland foods, small meals etc but nothing is really working all that well. I'm lucky because I work from home so I can lay down when I need to, but it's so hard to get any work done when I feel so bad. I have to go to my office Feb 5th and i didn't plan on telling work yet. But I'm so sick, I don't think I can hide it. Everyone will guess...I already get asked everytime I go there, when we're having a baby! (I hate that question by the way) So if I'm ill, they will know. Not to mention the sea bands will give it away.
So, looks like I will be telling work a little at 7 weeks. I was supposed to have my first u/s on Feb 7th after I return home, but I rescheduled for the 2nd. I figured I better confirm all is well before I tell my boss.
Well, that is what is up with me. The m/s is definitely making me feel more pregnant and more confident that all is well, but it's not fun!
I hope everyone is having a good week and not as sick as I am!

I'm so sorry you're feeling so sick!
Sorry you are feeling ill. I actually started drinking an orange soda pop in the mornings along with toast and peanut butter! This might help you, I am not to sure!
I feel exactly the same way!
I'm not really worried about telling work because they are very supportive about being pregnant. I think I work for the most fertile company in the world....One year we had 13 baby showers!!! Yikes!! I just really wanted to wait until I felt more confident about this pregnancy. But oh well. and I'd rather tell my boss before rumors get started.
I think I'm going to have to call my dr tomorrow to see what else I can do for the m/s. Nothing I try works! It's so hard to get through a day. And the worst part is the nausea is waking me up at night, so I'm not sleeping well either. This is horrible. But if this is what it takes to have a healthy baby, then I'm ok with it....even though I'm whining right now. I just wish I could find something to eat besides bread, pudding and oatmeal. Ginger ale isn't even working!
the things we go through to have babies! :o)
I'm sorry you have such bad m/s too! I had it for 8 months with my last pg! I've been wearing sea bands too and maybe they take the edge off a *little*, but it's still pretty bad. I also have that 24 hour a day nausea, I'm only throwing up every other day or so but I always feel like I'm going to! I learned to carry a freezer ziploc bag with me when I go out "just in case" - I got sick leaving the Dr's once and it would've been way more embarrassing had I not had a bag! I also drink peppermint tea, seltzer water, and suck on tootsie pops (got a big box of them at Costco!), they really help.
Hope it doesn't last for you too much longer!
Thats wonderful! Those symptoms look great :) We told you they were coming!
*Faith
I know! I just didn't want them this badly! Oh well.
I called the dr this morning and he prescribed some reglan. Has anyone taken this? I tried not to take any meds, but nothing was helping, and the nausea was getting worse. I've had the worst nausea of my life for the past 4 days. It was becoming unbearable. Last night at 2:00 am, I was sitting on our bathroom floor just crying. The nausea woke me up, again, and I wanted to throw up but I couldn't. I was so frustrated and tired. I just wanted it to stop and I wanted to sleep!!! I'm sure my hormones had something to do with the crying too. So I hope this medicine works! Maybe I'll be more productive during my days instead of lying on the sofa feeling sick.
But again, if this means I've got a healthy baby then it's ok with me. Even though I'm miserable! :o)
