Multiples Cubby Hot Topic: Morning Sickness with multiples?

[nj teacher]

Hi there everyone.

I was just wondering when your m/s ended. I have been really sick. I throw up 3 or 4 days out of the week, and when I am not throwing up, I am deathly nauseus. I may have a day or two somewhere that I feel "very quesy" and that's the best I've felt since 5.5 weeks.

My MIL had twins (DH is a twin) and she said she had m/s for eight months :mr.pukey: I start back to work/school Sept 7th. I definitely can't work like this! I guess I will have to take my nausea meds which make me miserably constipated...

So...how long did your m/s last? Please tell me it will end soon :)

I had absolutely no m/s when I was having my twins. I had no symptoms of pregnancy at all. Now with my singleton - I was so sick for the first 3-4 months. It was awful. But I think m/s depends upon the person - I had a friend who was sick the entire pregnancy. Ask your mom how her pregnancies went - from what I understand, the way your pregnancy goes can be reflected in family lines (if that made any sense!)

I had nauseau the whole time! Plus heartburn and fatigue....you would think I would have known something was different! Anyway, do the diet secrets, sleep at an angle, and drink lots of water. Hope you get some relief soon!

I really hate to tell you this, but I did not have MS with either sets of my twins.. infact I did not even get sick once...

I hope you feel better really quick.

I didn't have ms with my twins either but just felt 'BLAH' a lot of the time though...had worst ms with a couple of my other single pgs

mine ended the day they were born. I threw up almost every day the entire time.

My Mom didn't get sick at all with either of her pregnancies (singleton). I guess there goes that theory! It seems no one in my family ever got sick at all during pgy. I am the only one.

It seems so random - some people didn't get sick at all, some had relief by week 12-14, and some didn't get relief at all. I bet I will be one of those who is sick the whole time :( I hope I can work like this.

I sure hope it subsides soon. i think it really does depend on the individual. I have never actually thrown up with any of my pregnancies, but feel realy naseous. It usually subsides around 12-14 weeks for me (I'm hoping 12 this time!)

[Monette]

Sorry you have m/s. Must be hard. I never got it with either of my pregnancies. Lucky I guess. I got gallstones instead. :P I would have rather had m/s!

I hope it goes away soon for you!

[TwinMama6]

Monette
Yeah,I got gallstones when I was pg with Ethan and I'd rather have ms too! :rolleyes: Actually,I did have ms too,and I didn't know I was even pg until 12wks because of all the other health problems.

Mine ended around 16 weeks, I think - which is WAY earlier than it ended with my singleton pregnancies. It also came back, too. But not nearly as bad, very very easy to handle just the morning bit.

I found that a lot of it was low blood sugar - eating CONSTANTLY was a requirement. If I could stay ahead of their consumption of my blood sugar, I was in pretty good shape. If not, it was miserable. Preggie pops helped me bridge the gap (blood sugar boost!) so I could then eat immediately after one, and break the cycle.

I feel for you, I had awful m/s with my girls as well. I can't remember when it went away but it lasted a few months at least. My Mom was one of those people who had really bad m/s all 9 months with all 4 of us kids so I just assumed that would happen to me, lucky for me it went away. I can't imagine being that sick your whole pregnancy, Ugh!

Hang in there, I hope you are feeling better soon. You could ask your Dr if you could take metamucil or a laxative to help with the constipation. Drink plenty of water and eat lots of fruit to help with constipation too, I had that as well and that is no fun either!!

Good luck!
