Unpleasant Symptom

My most undesired pregnancy symptom has definitely been the continued nausea. I find myself feeling very jealous of women who say the were "never sick at all" during their pregnancy! Mine has never just been morning sickness, either. It can strike any time, day or night, without warning. Sometimes it is bad in the mornings, and I find myself praying that I won't lose it when I have to roll out of bed. I have tried most of the tricks and home remedies that friends and family have recommended, with very little success. I tell John all the time that our baby hates me! I have been having the typical 1st trimester exhaustion, and the nausea just adds to it. I have found sometimes, that if I feel hungry, I better eat right away, because those hunger pangs soon turn to major nausea. Luckily the times that I have actually vomited are few and far between, but the feeling of it possibly happening still isn't any fun. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled to be pregnant, but this is one side effect I could do without! I plan on asking Dr. Turner for a prescription next time I go in. Everyone has told me to hold on until 12 weeks and it should get better, but that doesn't seem to be happening, so I figure there's no use in trying to tough it out anymore - I'm going to ask for help!
