20 weeks PG today - normal to have random bout of nausea/sickness?

[ktdelsur]

As the title says - I'm 20 weeks PG today and haven't been truly sick since around 13-14 weeks of pregnancy.

I had a random bout of morning sickness on the first day of week 18, and now today, the first day of week 20...I got sick this morning before breakfast, and am feeling sick again right now. (Enough to where I might have to get up and walk out of here before I even finish this post.)

Other than this - I've had a great appetite and no problems.

Should I be worried, or is it maybe the baby is just having another growth spurt?

I just read something that said random bouts of nausea during pg are common and usually happen when your stomach is empty. Hope you feel better :)

I'm almost 28 weeks and I *still* have random bouts of nausea. ;)

Everyone is different...some people have bad m/s, some people have none and some people have mild. It also sticks around for different lengths of time. As long as you can keep food and water down (especially water...baby can survive without actual nutrition for a few days because it gets what it needs from you), you are likely fine.

Hi there,

I just posted on our thread that I have been sick today too. My doc told me not to worry , it is very normal to be sick throughout your pregnancy. It is just our crazy hormones.

Bleck. I have been feeling so great since Week 14 that I was hoping I was home free. Ugh. Yeah I'm definitely keeping food down, etc...and I think I'm going to warm up my lunch a little bit earlier than usual.

I got the urge for orange juice around 11 last night and gulped down a huge glass. That might have had to do with this morning's upset. :(

Thanks girls -
Mrs Buw: I saw your post right after I started this thread - glad you are feeling a little bit better. I had forgotten you have still had to take the prescription for this long! :(

Hi kt! ;) I totally think growth spurt/nausea have a connection...I got randomly nauseous too all over the place here and there. You never know. Stay hydrated as best you can, that might help too. Feel better babe!
