[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm right there with you.  About 10 weeks and feel horrible all the time.  It's not just the constant nausea, but also the utter, total, complete exhaustion, to a greater degree than ever before.  Maybe I'm just getting older?

For me, the nausea eases up between 20-24 weeks.  I have Zofran, but I need to ration it, because my insurance will only cover a small fraction of my prescription.  I save it for when I really need to be functional.

My midwife also uses an over-the-counter remedy that used to be available as a prescription:  half a tablet of Unisom with vitamin B.  It also genuinely helps.

I am also frustrated trying to communicate how awful I feel to my husband and kids, even though they are wonderful towards me.  See it as an opportunity for virtue for your loved ones, and humility for you.

Eat when you can, what you can.  My diet is pretty atrocious the first 20 weeks, but I take my vitamins and Floradix for iron, and exercise at least 30-60 minutes daily.  I definitely see improvement when I'm able to eat a bit here and there steadily throughout the day, even if it's weird stuff (prunes, an apple with PB, a few French fries, oatmeal...).

Here's to both of us feeling better and forgetting all about this time![/quote]
