29 Weeks with Extreme Nausea
QUESTION
Dear Midwife,
I will be 29 weeks pregnant tomorrow, and am completely miserable. I have been sick since 6w4d and after trying (one I can't remember), Phenergan, Compozine, 4 mg and 8 mg of Reglan, and all the over the counter stuff, I am still really sick.I am nauseous pretty much 24 hours a day, and when I do eat, I feel that my food is stuck in my esophagus, and it makes me want to throw up. Sometimes I force myself to throw up because I am so uncomfortable.

It doesn't really hurt, just a little bit uncomfortable. I'm 5 1/2 months pregnant now.

by damomma
When my newborn daughter Mary started having screaming fits at 7 weeks, everyone told me it was "colic". It was infuriating how quick people were to dismiss my mother's instinct that something was wrong. I was a new mother and she was a tiny newborn and this, they told me, is what newborns do.
