This is awful!! I am nauseous all day, every day, and have actually thrown up. I did not experience anything like this when pregnant with Elias! I've read that with twins symptoms can be worse because of the extra hormones. Other twin moms- was this your experience too? Or anyone who has suffered horrible morning sickness, do you have any advice?
I wish I could just lay in bed and sleep all day. :-(
Oh and I tried to post the pic in a thread from my phone but it doesnt give me the option now when on my phone? Lame, I used to be able to PIP from my phone before they re-did everything! I was originally having trouble posting it from my Ipad. Ugh

I wasn't super sick, just EXHAUSTED. Your pregnancy will be very different this time. I slept a lot. I took Zofran every morning. Can you get help with baby so you can bake these two? Taking it easy will be key to getting good weights and staving off preterm labor. I had constant contractions from 20 weeks on.

I had horrible m/s. It sucked
Super minty gum, purple jolly ranchers and lots of juicy fruit helped. I would also eat plain pasta throughout the day, which helped settle my stomach a bit.

I didn't have twins but I had constant morning sickness until about 15 weeks. I am so sorry you're experiencing it! I can't imagine feeling like that and taking care of a baby. Here are a couple of things I found helped me: - EAT! It seems impossible when you feel horrible but if I got hungry, I'd feel worse. So, I grazed all day. - I found sucking on hard candies (pink mints, lemon candies or anything sour) helped me to not throw up. Sometimes, sucking on an ice cube would help too. - Take Zofran. If it becomes a constant feeling and your doctor offers it, take it. - Carbonated beverages. A can of Coke helped settle my tummy some days. Rest when you can lady. I hope it passes quickly for you!
Thanks guys. I really hope it doesn't last a long time.
I will try out the candies and gum and eating more.
It sucks cause its just me with Eli from 6am to 6pm usually. Sometimes later. Everyone lives an hour to two hours away from me. I have been so exhausted that I have the pack n play, jumper and all the toys in my room so that I can try to lay down or sit on the floor and watch him. But I still have to jump up every few minutes and redirect him. My mom said she is going to try and come a couple times a month and help me.
So, now that I am having two, we definitely need to move closer to my family cause I will need help!
