summer's mommy
Can understand how your are feeling.. I'm going thru the same situation as you. One gal was down with high fever of 40 degree last weekend and now the other gal down with flu, cough and fever also. Totally no sleep at all. Every 4 hourly got to give Ventolin and Flixotide Evohaler. And my MS is more serious in the nite rather den day time.. Also very exhausted.
Hang in there. Soon it'll be over and before you realised, MS will be gone. Our hCG peaks from week 9 to week 12. That's why MS will be very bad around that time. Will gradually drop when we reach week 16 and usually by den the MS will be gone. Just hang in there. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Guideline to hCG levels during pregnancy:
hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :
3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml
Postmenopausal females: <9.5 mIU/ml
* These numbers are just a GUIDELINE-- every woman’s level of hCG can rise differently. It is not necessarily the level that matters but rather the change in the level.
So for now, I only take those food I can take in small quantity. And I sometimes, will skip dinner since I'm definitely will throw up. Only take Jacob cream cracker with milk works better at that timing. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
