Answer 1

I totally understand what you are going through. I used to get my morning sickness late at night. like i would wake up in the middle of the night, really sucked

"Morning sickness" is really a misnomer. (In fact, the technical medical term is "nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.") For some pregnant women, the symptoms are worst in the morning and ease up over the course of the day, but they can strike at any time and last all day long.

If you have a mild case of nausea and vomiting, some relatively simple measures may be enough to help. (If not, there are safe and effective medications you can take.) Not all the following suggestions are supported by hard evidence, but obstetricians and midwives commonly recommend them, and many women swear by them.

•  Try to avoid foods and smells that trigger your nausea. If that seems like almost everything, it's okay to eat the few things that do appeal to you for this part of your pregnancy, even if they don't add up to a balanced diet.

It might also help to stick to bland foods. Try to eat food cold or at room temperature, because it tends to have less of an aroma than when it's hot.

•  Keep simple snacks, such as crackers, by your bed. When you first wake up, nibble a few crackers and then rest for 20 to 30 minutes before getting up. Snacking on crackers may also help you feel better if you wake up nauseated in the middle of the night.

•  Eat small, frequent meals and snacks throughout the day so that your stomach is never empty. Some women find that carbohydrates are most appealing when they feel nauseated, but one small study found that high-protein foods were more likely to ease symptoms.

•  Avoid fatty foods, which take longer to digest. Also steer clear of rich, spicy, acidic, and fried foods, which can irritate your digestive system.

•  Try drinking fluids mostly between meals. And don't drink so much at one time that your stomach feels full, as that will make you less hungry for food. A good strategy is to sip fluids frequently throughout the day.

Aim to drink about a quart and a half altogether. If you've been vomiting a lot, try a sports drink that contains glucose, salt, and potassium to replace lost electrolytes.

•  Give yourself time to relax and take naps if you can. Watching a movie (preferably not one about food!) or visiting with a friend can help relieve stress and take your mind off your discomfort. Or try hypnosis — while there's no definitive evidence that it helps with morning sickness, it has been shown to be effective in combating nausea during chemotherapy.

•  Try taking your prenatal vitamins with food or just before bed. You might also want to ask your healthcare provider whether you can switch to a prenatal vitamin with a low dose of iron or no iron for the first trimester, since this mineral can be hard on your digestive system.

•  Try ginger, an alternative remedy thought to settle the stomach and help quell queasiness. See if you can find ginger ale made with real ginger. (Most supermarket ginger ales aren't.) Grate some fresh ginger into hot water to make ginger tea, or see if ginger candies help.

A few studies found that taking powdered ginger root in capsules provided some relief, but be sure to talk to your provider before taking ginger supplements. There's no way to be sure how much of the active ingredient you're getting in these supplements, so some experts think it's best not to use them. (As with many other things that are helpful in small amounts, the effects of megadoses are unknown.)

•  Try an acupressure band, a soft cotton wristband that's sold at drugstores. You strap it on so that the plastic button pushes against an acupressure point on the underside of your wrist. This simple and inexpensive device, designed to ward off seasickness, has helped some pregnant women through morning sickness — although research suggests that it may be largely a placebo effect.

•  Ask your provider about a device that stimulates the underside of your wrist with a mild electric current. This "acustimulation" device costs about $75 and is available by prescription only. It's safe, and research has shown that this technique works well for some women.

What if I just can't keep anything down?

Call your provider if you haven't been able to keep anything — including fluids — down for 24 hours. (If you're newly pregnant and don't yet have a doctor or midwife, go to the emergency room.)

You may have a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum — literally, "excessive vomiting in pregnancy." This condition can be difficult to manage, but the sooner you're diagnosed and begin treatment, the more likely you'll be able to avoid severe symptoms.

Your caregiver will probably want to give you some intravenous fluids right away, since you'll most likely be seriously dehydrated. Then she'll need to do some tests to check your electrolyte levels and make sure no underlying illness is causing your con

Answer 2

I had the same thing when I was pregnant with my daughter. It could be a condition called Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Call your doctor if they feel like that's what it is they can prescribe you some medicines for it. I was put on Vitamin B12 and also two other anti nausea meds. It went away when I was about 16 weeks pregnant. Hang in there! It's worth it!

Answer 3

how bad are your cramps. i am 12 weeks along and some night i get a little pain. the sickness part comes and goes. i found that if i don't have to smell things cooking i can keep my food down. i think there is no hope for the boob part. mine hurt 24/7

Answer 4

My ob/gyn's office recommended vitamin B 12 and/or B Complex for nausea...it actually helped.

Answer 5

I hate to hear all you other girls have morning sickness but it is a little comforting knowing I'm not the only one in the world throwing up ALL the time.  I'm having the hardest time and it doesn't matter if it is morning, afternoon, or evening.  If that food or water wants out, it is coming up.

I have tried the Saltine crackers but threw them up.  They are just too dry for me.  Toast and bread sometimes work but not always.  I'm trying to eat peppermints right now to keep lunch down.

I haven't went to the Dr. yet but will soon and see what he suggests.  I know there are different types of medicines but I'm a little nervous taking anything due to the baby growing and needing food not medicine.

I have started feeling cramps come and go.  I think it is just my stomach not having the normal amount of food and the muscles getting worked from puking.

Sorry to hear you are sick and I hope you start feeling better. If you think your symptoms are too much or too different, definitely go to your doctor.~~~~~~

Answer 6

This is normal, my wife was sick at night as well. Morning sickness is just what it is called but it can happen at any time during the day. My wife used children's gravol to help her, but ask your doctor before using it to make sure that it will be safe for you in your pregnancy as every pregnancy is different.  

Answer 7

The cramping as long as there is no blood is from the uterus and ligaments stretching and growing as the baby grows. You'll get them throughout your pregnancy. As far as the nausea, that can happen at ANY time of the day. Just because it is called "morning sickness" doesnt mean it only happens in the morning. I've had it for 3 months all the time day and night. The other symptoms will eventually go away. Pregnancy takes time and so will the ease of your symptoms.  

Answer 8

Don't be worried - morning sickness isn't necessarily just for the morning. I went through that lovely experience all day long. Ask your doctor for Fenergan - it's an anti-nausea pill. It worked wonders for me with all three pregnancies.

On the bright side, the sickness usually subsides after the first trimester, if it doesn't disappear altogether.

Even if you can eat very little, make sure you drink enough fluids. Dehydration will only make your symptoms worse, and you may end up in the ER on an IV drip.

You might also try cutting down on any strong smells in your house - that set me off every time. Try eating very bland, starcy foods like plain bread, crackers or rice a little at a time. These should help absorb some of the acid that's irritating your stomach.

But really, do get the fenergan. It's inexpensive (comes in generic promethezan) and it will make you feel much better.

Best of luck to you, and don't worry! Worries will only make you nervous and jittery. You'll be just fine.

Answer 9

I had horrible morning, noon and night sickness with all three of my children.  With my last pregnancy however, I switched to another obgyn who prescribed this medicine called Reglin.  The best thing ever!  See if your doctor can get you that or it's generic version.  It's a pill that you take right before any meal and it keeps you from getting nauseous.

Answer 10

I don't think that's unusual, but eat saltines and call your OB.

Answer 11

You're cramping because you are vomiting and losing fluid. You need to be drinking more water to keep yourself hydrated. Yes this is normal for pregnancy. Not everyone gets it as bad but yes it's normal. Eat saltine crackers before you go to bed and it should help calm your stomach down. Hopefully it gets better. Just remember that dehydration can cause cramping so keep drinking fluids.
