The last 2 days I have eaten breakfast and felt fine (no queasiness) only to be hit hard by the ickies (as Tara calls them) and lost it all suddenly! I had cold cereal yesterday and then a bagel with cream cheese this morning.

I'm frustrated.

Wishing this were over already...

O hon' I am so sorry you have the ickies! I have a hard time finding things to eat in the morning, maybe you should try fruit in the morning? Hope it is over for you soon.

What did you have on the days you got icky after eating?
*was a bit confused*
Cold cereal will get me. It's the milk. I seem to have some kind of pregnancy induced lactose intolerance. I know...weird! But it's been 3 pregnancies now! We don't do a lot of cow milk around here anyway. Just an occasional "ooo I want cold cereal" by me or hub which lasts a week or two then we're done. And I do fine during those times. But when pg..I tend to WANT cold cereal but I can't do it. Even with the tiniest bit of milk, I get icky afterwards.

So, I had switched to soy milk with one of the pregnancies. That helped a bit. Quite a bit actually. Just, I didn't care for the smell/taste of it. One pregnancy I dealt with that better than the other. The one, I just couldn't do it. I had to forego my cold cereal. :~(

I end up indulging in things like canned cinnamon rolls and the like LOL That was this morning.
Bagels only 'hit' with me once in a while when pg. They'll work for a week or two then that's it. No more. And, sadly, I'm in the 'no' part right now with this one.
Toast with a bit of all fruit jelly works sometimes.
Eggs.
I think I've gotten back out of my eggs era now too. I was on a roll for a week or two. This week, blech, don't like the smell.
Smoothies and peanut butter crackers work from time to time. They're my multi-purpose meal. Quite often a lunch. Or a snack. And have been breakfast several times as well. Fruit and a hint of protein. And the salt. It works.

What about just dry cereal? Cheerios or Kix are simple ones that are LOVELY dry. I suppose you could eat any of 'em dry, but, those work especially well.

Don't forget to keep some crackers at your bedside. A glass of water too. So you have something to grab during the night and first thing upon waking. Snack a couple of bites...before you have the chance to get hungry. Give yourself a moment to get up and then go try some 'real' breakfast.

Hopefully this was just a fluke and you're not *now* getting the official ickies. :~(

I can't have milk either, it makes me sick to my stomach, and so far, I haven't had any real "ickies" yet; having milk though has made me come close.

I was REALLY sick with my twins and I could NOT eat first thing in the morning, I just had to make myself throw up, get it over with and follow THAT with a nice heavy carb, like a *couple* of bagels with butter (light), cream cheese was too heavy for me. That was always the biggest meal of the day for me, and it was all I could really handle.

I tried nabbing chips when I could, those actually made me feel better (maybe it was all in my head?) ::snort:: Anything Carb-y made me feel better, really. Ugh... I hope your ickies pass soon!

What did you have on the days you got icky after eating?
Yesterday morning I had cold cereal, Quaker Oat Squares, with milk. This morning I had a bagel with cream cheese and a frappacino. (hey, that's what I was craving!) =)

Hopefully this was just a fluke and you're not *now* getting the official ickies. :~(

I've had the ickies since the first day of week 7. It's been terrible. Some days I'm totally fine (I say totally, but I mean like 90%) and other days I'm like 90% terrible! I *know* everyone says that it means the baby is healthy and for that I am VERY grateful. It's just hard, really hard. I hate complaining about it because there are so many people out there that would give anything to be pregnant!

I'm not *totally* sure it's milk/dairy because the rest of the day I crave a glass of cold milk. Tonight I drank 2 full glasses.

Jenny, I think I'm just gonna have to do what you did, wait to get sick and get it over with, then eat something. I was doing that for a while, but I figured if I could get something done, than all would be well. Guess not!

I tried editing to fix the spelling of your name, Jennie, but it's not working! sorry...

Darn that unpredictable pregnancy belly stuff eh?

I know what you mean too about complaining. I have the same thoughts/feelings. Just...argh! I feel so stinkin' miserable :~(

Praying the ickies let up for both of us SOON so we can just 'be pregnant' and really rejoice in that!! *hugs*

Thanks for your encouragement, T! Nice to know that someone else is feeling the same emotionally as I am...I too am looking forward to 'just being pregnant'!

Cheers to our wee little ones!!

((hugs back))
