Morning sickness?

Question

I am 9 weeks pregnant and have severe morning sickness which has resulted in me having anti-sickness medications - which I throw up. All I can do is throw up and sleep all day (because I am not eating I am so tired)

Please if you have any ideas on how I can sort this sickness out so I can eat / drink small amounts - it would be gratefully recieved - yes, my consultant does know how bad it is, and have been told I have a week to start seeing improvements or I will need IV fluids

Answer 1

Only thing that worked for me was salt & vinegar chips and a cold glass of milk. (I had morning sickness all day... all night... 't was terrible!) I've also been told that anything containing ginger, should do the trick, but that didn't really work for me. Fact of the matter (or it was like this for me) is that, if you're hungry, you're going to be nauseuous. So girl, please just try these - you're going to feel much better when you do eat/drink something, and you're going to start feeling better about your pregnancy. Good luck - I hope it works for you!

Answer 2

You said that you can eat/drink small amounts? Then nibble away. I was able to eat meals but to keep the nausea away I kept baby carrots and/or graham crackers w/ me at all times. Contantly nibbled and drank gingerale. And I mean constantly, I would go through a bag of baby carrots about every 2 days and 2 boxes of graham crackers a week.
Saltines did not work for me at all...they made me gag. Try to find anything, fairly bland that doesn't turn your stomach. I did find that when my blood sugar dropped was when I felt the worst. So by nibbling constantly I was able to get through the day.

Answer 3

I've been told flat ginger ale works. Also if you make ginger tea and sweeten with honey it tastes good cold too.

Eat the crackers before getting out of bed. Eat small quantities constantly so the tummy is never completely empty.

there are also pregnancy pops which are said to help with the nausea.
Good luck!

Ask your Dr about taking meds in suppository form then you won't be able throw them up maybe you should see a different dr one that has a little more understanding of morning sickness some drs just don't take morning sickness very seriously

Answer 5

where are you from? im in canada, and we have a prescription here called diclectin.. its a wonder drug!
if not, the only thing i can suggest is keep crackers or dry cereal like cheerios by your bed and munch as best you can the second you open your eyes.
sip water as best as you can, and i've heard to eat and drink seperately.
how far are u.. for most women, the sickness subsides by your 14th week at the latest
im so sorry your goin thru this, i kno how u feel, im just at my 14th week now and it seems to be subsiding..
hang in there hun!

Answer 6

i would stay on clear fluids and eat small amount of like saltine crackers or little pieces of bread. and ask your doc if it's okay to take like a motion sickness over the counter type of med most of those keep you from throwing up
