“Down Not Up”
I keep repeating this to my stomach, but it really doesn’t care to listen.
“Down not up. Down not up. Down not up.”
I just threw up my breakfast, my B6, and my Zofran.
I am now going to pretend I live in Canada and make my very own Diclectin (Unisom + B6). Yet another reason to hate the American F.D.A.
I would pretty, pretty, pretty please like to go to sleep and wake up in the second trimester with a healthy fetus and a settled stomach.
I am 9w6d today. I only have 13 Zofran tablets left, and a refill costs $311.00, which is a lot of money to drop during the holidays. I am hoping that this will go away in the next few weeks?
Please, please, please tell me when your nausea/vomiting ended or at least became tolerable?

mine became very tolerable right in the middle of my 10th week

There was those four months i felt just as bad as you do and wanted to close my eyes and wake up in labor but now, I cant even remember what it was like any longer!
Mine left me at 15 weeks, just like that, no warning, no cessation just bye bye and I cried with relief.
Regardless of the fact I lost a few kilos and never managed to keep down any vitamins or any food at all, I appear to be carrying a healthy, punching and kicking baby
I feel for you, I really do, but take comfort that it will piss off eventually

Hugs.
I’ve been following you this whole time, and I’m so glad the little one is doing well so far, but sorry you’re suffering the effects!
(after 3 m/cs myself, I’m 6w4d into pregnancy #4…and just starting to feel the sickness. I’m hoping that’s a good sign, and trying not to book another u/s tomorrow!).
Hugs!

I hope your homemade diclectin helps you out.

Good luck with the unisom/B-6 combo. My M/S left at 15 weeks. I hope yours goes away even sooner!

Knock on wood, but I am 13w5d and I have only vomited once this week. Damn, I probably just jinxed myself.
Someone on my blog wrote to me that Dr. Pepper calmed her nausea. I was reluctant to try it because, well, it’s soda pop and not particularly healthy. In desperation, I bought 2 little cans and have found that 4 oz. or so actually DOES help the nausea subside. But everyone is different. Good luck with the Diclectin homebrew.
