I felt the same way darling. I had to go to the hospital loads of times to get physiological salt solution, cause I couldn't even drink water and I was always throwing up even though I couldn't have anything to eat or drink. Just wait, I felt the same way. And I just had to wait. I started feeling better when I was like 14 weeks along. I also felt that I couldn't take it anymore but you'll be fine just wait and you'll see that sickness will go away. Hang on there

Hi! I know exactly what you are going through. I was even hospitalized for hyperemis gravidium (execssive pregnancy vomiting). The only med that worked for me was Zofran, and it was only used when absolutely necessary. Unfortunately nothing really helps. I was getting sick 9 or 10 times a day for about 14 weeks, and was absolutely miserable. I walked around with cheerios all day. A cup of tea also helped sometimes. Plus, amke sure you eat something before getting out of bed in the morning. And try to slow down. It seemed to be worse on very busy days. But in the end, I had a wonderful baby girl and forgot all about the morning sickness until now that I am 11 weeks pregnant with my second. Good luck!

Im really sorry. I dont know how your working with that. I have 3 boys and was very very sick and just crying out of frustration because I felt so bad all of the time and was throwing up alot.There was no way I would have been able to work. .It was really bad. At 7 weeks called the Doctor and they gave me Phenegran which didnt work, and so then they changed to Zofran, which stopped me from throwing up, but I still felt sick. I dont know waht to tell you. This is my 4th pregnancy and I was sick until I was around 20 weeks. Im 23 weeks now. This didnt work for me with this pregnancy(it did with my 3rd) but go to http://preggiepops.com
or try sea bands that you can buy from walmart in the medicine aisle. Good Luck and I hope you are feeling better soon.

Please do your best to stay away from drugs for this.
Lemon's, Ginger Root, Ginger Beer (not real beer just stronger ginger ale) Ginger Snap cookies, Search the Internet for other natural anti nausea stuff, but make sure to stay away from any of the things you are supposed to avoid during pregnancy.
Avoid Marijuana, or any drugs if you can especially in the first trimester since it is the most important development period. Drugs (including Marijuana) can stop the nausea but there is no way of telling exactly what else will happen because of them (behaviour problems, attention problems, abnormal development, etc.)
If you haven't had this kind of sickness with your 2 other children then you can expect this to settle down within 5 more weeks.

ask for phenergan suppositories, you take them rectally, its the ONLY thing that helped me.
also the key is to NEVER get hungry cause that makes it worse. I was literally bedridden the first 9wks or so from being so sick. Right now you are at the very worse part, it should lessen some in the coming weeks.
another anti-nauseant is Zofran, ask about it, supposedly real good for morning sickness. A cold wet rag to your face will help as well, try not to get overheated.

i'm a little over three months pregnant and the only thing that worked for me besides the prescription of zofran were some pills i got from the health food store called ipecacuanha....its a homeopathic remedy. u dissolve 4 pills under the tongue about 4 times a day (but it says 'or as needed') and u should be able to eat a little better. look up homeopathic remedies and try the ipecacuanha or nux vomica.

They make wrist bands for air sickness. They are supposed to work on accupressure. I saw them at Walgreens, and the cashier told me they work for morning sickness. Try to rest and sip some peppermint tea or ginger ale. Anything at all that you can get down, try to. even if it's chocolate. You will just feel worse the longer you don't eat.
Try the wristbands. I hope they help

My mom has herbal teas that help with certain things like this..and I can't really say anything but to go to her website and order one...or email my mom.
I never had a baby!
This will help you out GREATLY.
But u should drink some of the tea, take a nice hot bubble bath BY YOURSELF, (no disruptions) and u will feel just a LITTLE bit better.

I was just wondering if you were taking the pre-natal vitamins and the folic acid? I don't know if this helps but when I was taking these vitamins I was sick all day and all night. Mayby you could stop taking them a couple days and see if it's your vitamins. My doctor told me to stop taking them for now. You could also go to the doctor for diclectin that really helped me
