why am i throwing up everything I eat? Is my baby going enough nutrition?

Question

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and for the past three weeks, I have been throwing up everyday. Everything I eat. Especially when I eat meat. I'm trying to eat everything I can to support my baby nutrition but my stomach can't handle any food. Is there anything I can do from throwing. Is my baby going to be okay?

Answer 1

your baby will be fine....make sure you are not getting dehydrated and are drinking alot also try small meals at first its good to try and eat healthy but try eating what sounds good not what you think is the best choice for the baby this does not mean just cookies and cakes but you will be surprised how you will pick something that is healthy with my last daughter all i wanted was beans and cheese at first and this is full of protein and calcium and i ate it everyday for like 3 weeks my Doctor said it was fine and my baby was great and as the throwing up got less and less i added in all the other foods! so try what sounds good and hopefully it will work!! good luck

Answer 2

I had morning sickness the first 5 1/2 months of pregnancy and the only thing that helped with the nausea was ginger ale and sour patch kids. Keep taking your pre-natal vitamin at a time when you feel the least amount of nausea.

I was told that any food in the beginning is better than no food at all and not to worry too much about the nutritious content. This is because the baby is first priority in your body and any kind of nutrients from any food will go to your baby first and you will be the one who is deprived from the nutrients.

Also keep drinking your water too. Hope this helps!

I don't usually reccomend meds but I was sick like you too, I threw up at LEAST 10 times a day and unfortunately if you are that sick it can be harmful to the baby because if you are not getting enough nutrition neither is the baby. Ask your doctor about a medicine called Zofran. It really worked wonders for me and I didn't throw up once after I got on it. It is also very important that you take your pre-natal vitamins and if they make you sick like they did me take them at night with a small snack. Also try eating foods that are high in floic acid, cereal has alot of folic acid in it. It is VITAL for a baby to develope. Just a tip - grapes really made my stomache feel better =)

Ok several things you could try. Keep in mind though that it is different for every woman who is pregnant.

1. Anything that is ginger or mint. I ate those andes mints all the time for my nausea and they really helped. Or tea.

2. Try eating something really plain like crakers or bread before you get out of bed in the morning. This puts something in your stomache to help fight the nausea. Sometimes, morning sickness is just because your stomache is completely empty.

3. Try toning down the spices and variety of your food. A certain spice may be making the nausea worse. Sometimes its something like milk that could be causing it.

4. Avoid strong smells. Not just strong food smells either. Whenever I smelled a hint of Pine-Sol, I got sick.

5. Eat something right before bed and take your prenatal vitamin then.

6. Graze all day. Don't eat "meals", just kind of munch all the time. Basically, spread your food out throughout the day. This will help when you get farther along and have less room for your stomache. After a few bites my last few weeks I felt like I swallowed a rock. I got very used to constantly eating.

If it gets really bad, where you can't keep anything down, then go to your doctor. You need to keep hydrated and get enough nutrients right now. This is one of the key times during the pregnanacy where the baby is growing by leaps and bounds. So you need to keep yourself healthy. I also ate tums all the time. Should have invested in them when I was pregnant. They are one of the very few medicines you can take, and they give you extra calcium too!

Answer 5

Ahhh... the joys of 'morning sickness'. I had it really bad in my first trimester too. The good news is that it usually wears off by the second trimester, although not always. Have you talked to the doctor? Mine ended up writing me a prescription because I was getting dehydrated. Also, is it possible that you had an urinary tract infection? Pregnant women are more susceptible to them and they can make you throw up alot too. Good Luck!

Oh and by the way, the baby will be fine. My doctor said its common for women to actually lose weight during the first trimester and that the baby will get everything it needs from you.

Answer 6

The baby gets everything he needs from you, he doesn't care whether or not you are eating well .... you have all the vitamins and minerals stored in your body and he will just suck it up. That is what my doctor told me, I was sick for the most of my pregnancy and I kept loosing weight, although I tried to eat well, I couldn't keep anything besides crackers.. and the baby is completely fine {and big, too!}. So good luck, hope it won't last as long as mine sicknesses did...

My first daughter replace into born at 38 weeks, she weighed 6lbs and at 6 months weighed 12lbs, she replace into getting lots to devour and had all started drowsing via the nighttime at 6 weeks. If he mandatory to devour at nighttime then he might awaken to devour, do not wake him purely enable him sleep. toddlers strengthen while they sleep. Is he assembly maximum of his milestones?

His important source might desire to nonetheless be breast milk or formulation. you could continuously call and communicate over together with his wellbeing practitioner yet except there are different indications of failure to thrive then he's great. you besides mght might desire to renowned that charts and techniques are purely that, not each and every toddler is going to stay with the chart precisely.
