Pregnant & Constantly Nauseated

[JustBreathe 0]

I love being pregnant, I really do. And I can't wait to see my baby boy! But, I'm not sure how much more of this nausea I can take. I had it up until 17 weeks. Then it tapered off until about 25 weeks. Since then it's been back full force. I've been on zofran & now phenergan. Nothing is working anymore, & it starts earlier & earlier & lasts all day long & all night. My OB seems to think my lapband has something to do with this. She is probably right, but it's having a HUGE toll on my emotional well being. I'm trying really hard to just make it through the next 7 weeks, but I just end up crying because I feel like crap. Does anyone have any advice at all for me?

I really doubt it's the Lap Band.. I am pregnant and am not nauseated, or suffered of morning sickness. But maybe I am the only one who feels that way. My band is tight 9cc... and I feel great!

When I was pregnant with my son I had "morning" sickness (such a stupid name) 24/7 for all 8 months (he was born 5 weeks early). I was still sick during.g delivery. The only thing that worked for me was Preggie Pops and Preggie pop drops. They are lollipops or suckers that come in pretty good flavors - Orange, lemon, sour Apple, and raspberry. I had one in my mouth at almost all times and they worked wonders!! I highly recommend trying them. I used to get them at Babies 'R. I will stock up again if we're lucky enough to get pregnant again.

I am 8 + 1 and I am also dealing with this. I was wondering if it might have anything to do with the band...but its not too tight right now. I have only vomitted once and that was because I got a pill stuck and it made me queasy...but the nausea is all day every day and I am so hoping it stops soon. Its sucking the life out of me...I am so happy and so grateful to be pregnant but this is really hard.

Ask your doctor for some Zofran it is a miracle drug for morning sickness!!

My sister had horrible "morning" sickness throughout her pregnancy - she found some relief with regular chiropractic visits - I have no idea why but the adjustments had a big impact on the otherwise constant illness.

Just a thought - good luck with the last few weeks.

I'm 30wks and still have it. I went in to have some removed from my band but it didn't seem to help. What's so weird is....I've never really vomited anything.... I gag, and lots of flem comes up but never food. I'm wondering if this is because of the band. I always vomited with my previous 2 pregnancies.

As long as you are not too tight, it probably is just luck of the draw more than just having a band. Some of us are constantly nauseous, some of us never have morning sickness.

I am having a terrible time with Vitamins myself. No matter what kind I take, even chewables or gummies, I get a really weird taste in my mouth that won't go away and keeps me semi-nauseous. I even tried to get them in with food, but I can still taste them. Did you even get the Vitamin burps? (nasty, nasty and more nasty) I feel like such a bad person, but I have to admit that I have not been taking my Vitamins as I should. I either don't take them, or take them with some going into my body and some coming back up either immediately or after an hour. I just can't seem to stomach them.

I am about to resort to children's vitamins and I am not joking. Maybe flintstones sour gummies or something. There has got to be a better way.

I had the same problem with Vitamins, so I started taking them just before bedtime. The prenatals are horrible for the "aftertaste." I've read that it's due to the Iron in them. . . I take them at bedtime, so I don't notice the taste while i sleep. It seems to work for me!
