So if I have learned one thing it's that morning sickness is not "morning sickness." It's turned into afternoon, evening sickness. From about 2 PM until about 10 PM I find myself extremely ill. I can hardly hold my head up on some days. It is stated this usually starts the 6th weeks and ends around week 13/14. For me, it started very badly around week 12 and is continuing to wreck havoc. I will literally be eating something and then have to immediately throw up, or it will just happen. I started staying in the bathroom during this time so much, that I had to have my doctor call in some medicine for me. However, the medicine made me sick or makes me sick because it dissolves in my mouth.
The nausea doesn't just go away when you throw up either. Nope. For me I get hungry or feel hungry after being sick and then will get sick again. It's been nothing short of miserable. The thing is I have many women who just don't seem to understand. Most women didn't have this constant sickness. They only got sick a few times, if any. I mean when you can't swallow your own spit and or your own scent makes you throw up, things are pretty bad.
They say that ginger and vitamin B12 helps with nausea, also trying to keep down a lot of proteins. I have found that ginger-ale does work pretty well, though I think I may have gotten sick off of this. My life saver has been Young Living Essential Peppermint oil and a cold wash cloth. Placing the peppermint oil right under my nose and on my temples seems to take away the nausea. After this I will place a cold wash cloth on my head. I just found out that I can take phenygren (spelling) if administered safely. So I am probably going to try this, as well, if the nausea doesn't let up soon.
Not sure if these facts are true but they say extreme nausea or nausea is a good thing. It means your hormone levels are high and that your chances of miscarrying are low. I have also read that it means your baby is healthy and that it has a high IQ. Hmmmm... I can only hope it's as smart as me.. (har har).
I am just ready for this period of sickness to be over with. I wish I could find some mothers or mom's to be that have experienced this extreme nausea and know exactly how I am feeling. If you have felt this, please share your experience or what helped you to cope. I welcome any and all advice. XOXO
