I was wondering if any of you are experiencing the same thing. I'm 22 weeks and 3 days right now and for about the past week I have noticed that within an hour of eating I get sick. No matter what it is, I can't keep food down. The baby isn't kicking up into my stomach or anything, and no matter what I try, I can't keep food down. I am drinking lots of water and juice to stay hydrated, but I was wondering if any of you are going through the same thing. Thanks ladies and congrats on your pregnancies.

I am 24 weeks, and 6 days. I get sick from coughing, and eating. I think its because the baby has pushed up and given my stomach less room. So I eat my regular amount yet there isn't enough room so my body expells it. I haven't put on any weight with this pregnancy either in fact I have lost weight, but the Dr isn't worried since my blood work is coming out ok, and today I have a sonogram to check on the lil ones progress. I was never sick this long with my first daughter, but this lil one is completely different.

Just wanted you to know that you are not alone in the sickness this far in the game

Thanks for letting me know that I'm not the only one. I've only put on about 2 or 3 pounds so far, but doc is ok with that since I started out overweight. I did have some morning sickness at the beginning of the pregnancy, but that went away and I was fine for about 6 weeks or so. With my first daughter I wasn't sick at all, it was the perfect pregnancy, no complaints at all...but this one it seems like anything that can happen is happening...lol

Yes that is how this pregnancy is for me too, its like ALL the symptoms you COULD have, I have. She feels very heavy (a lot of lower pressure) and she seems to make bigger movements than my first. And I still get sick almost daily, just from coughing. Dealing with this extra mucous brought on by pregnancy causes me to cough and gag, and then it its and I get sick. Or when I eat, I can feel fine up until I take my last bite, then BAM sick as could be. We are considering this as being our last, so I will take what comes, but PHEW what I wouldn't give to keep my meals down... I think I may start taking ensure or something to make sure I am getting the nutrients I need.

You were lucky with your first not being sick at all, I was sick until 13 weeks, as soonn as I hit that, it all stoped, and the second trimester was good, and the third was just uncomfortable due to being big and sore....this time though so far none of it has been easy, and chasing around a 15 month old doesn't make it any easier lol...
