My wife is really having a hard time with morning sickness (and nights too). she is now 12 weeks pregnant. I try everything for her. Inclined for 15-30 minutes in the morning. Plain, dry toast to eat before getting up. No fluids at meal time, but more fluids between meals. Smaller and more frequent meals. She is doing better in the mornings, but at nights after supper and before bed she is having it hard. Not sure what to do. It is daily. I have her rinse her mouth with baking soda in water so the acid doesnt attack ehr enamel on teeth. My mom lost her teeth because of that. She wont take any antacids or medications for it. All she cant drink mostly is hot water. Dont know what to do anymore, especially at night before bed...

Hey Brijo, nice to see you back.

Morning sickness is really tough during the first trimister of pregnancy but soon your wife will be able to gain her appetite back. Like me before, I also had a very rough pregnancy ( first trimister). As I've mentioned on my earlier post that I was admitted twice because of morning sickness. I was able to gain my appetite back on my 15th week of pregnancy. I was really happy when I surpassed every stage of it, to the point that I was about to give up. I know how hard it is to see her on this situation. My husband before can't even stand seeing me having a hard time and he can't do anything about it. In weeks time, she will be on her second trimister, the easiest stage of pregnancy. Just hang in there and this two shall pass.

Thanks... Yeh, hard to see the one you love suffer. She disappears into the bedroom where there is a plastic bucket there, all alone, and vomits in it in the bed, and says nothing, and it makes me feel sad. When she disappears like that I go looking for her and immediately go to her and hold her. I tell her I just want to be there with her when she feels that way. All I can do is hold her and I do what I can. I get a warm, wet cloth for her and wipe her face, but the smell of the detergent in the rag from being washed even makes her sick. I had her sit up even though she was tired and wanted to sleep, because I think that helps to get the acidy stomach to subside, rather than laying down right away. While sitting there on the bed I did massage her with some oil awhile to get her relaxed and I combed and stroked her hair like she likes and that seemed to have helped too. She is resting now, sleeping, but occassionally gets up to spit more saliva from her mouth.

Havent been able to get her to take prenatal vitamins in a couple days because it only adds to the stomach upset. She has gained one pound this first trimester... from 104 to 105. They say she is supposed to put on 3-5 pounds for her size during 1st trimester. Hopefully she will make up for that during her 2nd trimester.

I wish I knew of a vitamin suppliment here like Anmum she could use...maybe some liquid one that was less disturbing to her stomach. I dont know of anything. We go to the gyn the 14th, her 2nd clinic visit. The first was in the Philippines in Quezon City, at 8 weeks 4 days. At that time the report said "Transvaginal Sonography: Uterus is in the midline, anteverted and regularly enlarged containing a gestational sac with a 1.7 cm alive embryo. Fetal heart rate is 153 b/min. Cervical canal is closed. Adnexae are clear. Remainder is unremarkable. Impression: Pregnancy, alive, 8 weeks and 4 day gestational age." That was on December 19.

Her spotting is light. She bled heavy after intercourse after it had stopped for a few weeks just a couple days ago. No more intercourse until we see the doctor again. Last she mentioned about any bleeding was yesterday morning, just 2 very small spots of it. She has had bleeding like that throughout her pregnancy. The doctor wasnt too alarmed, and gave her something to help stop it on December 19, but she never took it because it stopped on its own right after the doctor visit. She says she still has the stuff and will take it if the bleeding continues. I wish she would go ahead and take it anyway right now.

I do understand your concern for your wife and I know it is not easy. Good thing she gained some weight during her first tri. With me before, i never gained any but instead lose a lot. I was 110 lbs when I got pregnant but because of morning sickness I was down to 93 lbs. But slowly I gained my weight back and now weighing 133 lbs..What you are doing is a great help to her ( being there for her all the time ). She's lucky to have you.

Don't worry that will be over soon. Morning sickness is just normal in pregnancy but luckily I never experience that. The only thing that bothers me was the excessive saliva and losing my appetite on my first trimester. The best time to take prenatal vit. is after dinner or if you cant really make her take that you can find Anmum on ebay or in any other online shopping.

By the way, did you move to TN from VA?

Hi to all mommies to be and all of you who already are

I'm due any moment soon, still waiting for the little guy to pop-up

Haven't been on VJ lately as I was busy with preparing for the baby, going to school, working on the house, etc., but I remember reading somewhere on VJ about a pregnancy tread, so I decided to look it up. Does anybody remember (I do) there was a post on VJ tread with an attached excel file with all the baby things a couple needs to buy for a newborn? I can not find this file, but if anyone has any idea and could provide a link to download, would be very thankful.

Good day for now to all of you and good luck

Haay...finally...some breathing room for Mommy...I've been able to do nothing but feed/change nappies/soothe/carry Maizy for the past 5 hours. I just made a (very, very) quick supper for myself and Alec and virtually speed-ate it (like 5 mins). She is asleep laying swaddled (Kiddoppopatamus swaddlers are a Godsend!) in her pack-n-play after a diaper change (her sleep was interrupted by a wet nappy). Prior to that, she was breastfed --- with additional 3.5oz of formula. I swear...everyday palakas ng palakas ang appetite nya. If I give her just breastmilk, after 1 hour gising ulit. I've changed at least 7 nappies today. Actually, I am utterly frustrated as I have not been able to do much at all. Hubby is off at work and will be there till 1030pm. Yesterday was terrible...my first meal of the day was (finally) at 1pm. Supper was 8:40pm and I had to hold her in one arm while I finished my meager supper. Maizy fell asleep around 10pm and i thought I'd grab a quick shower. After about 15 mins, eto na si Alec telling me that she could not calm Maizy down. I quickly rinsed and threw a nightgown on without even towelling off. Tamang-tama dumating na si Hubby. I didn't realize that I had not welcomed him home and I had just went straight to the baby (found out she needed a nappy change). Poor hubby . I think last night was the time we spoke using the least amount of words in a day. It really is frustrating . I wish Maizy would be a few weeks (or even months) older, but at the same time, I don't want her to grow up too fast and just be a baby a little longer (she was 2 weeks old last Friday )

Doc Gracey, Didn't you give birth by c-section? I feel for you. I thought I was going crazy during the first month of taking care of my baby Nathan. I sometimes cry while feeding or changing his diapers because I was so tired and I lacked sleep. My hubby works 53 hours a week while going to school full time. I take my four year old son to school every morning and pick him up after 3 hours. Getting out of the house was a challenge considering that my my incision still hurt a lot that time. I miss my yaya arlyn and driver mang lito. Sometimes, I would have hallucinations that they were here.
