Answer 1

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Paracetamol and some ginger tea and ginger buscuits sweetie.
Don't take any ibuprofen or anything, just plain paracetamol.

I had morning sickness for 18 week solid, 24/7. It was horrible. I really sympathise with you.

Mail me if you wanna chat.

Answer 2

The chances are your'e pregnant with a girl, by the way. Hormones!
Hopefully you'll get over it, but if not, speak to your doctor. Are you actually throwing up? I found that by eating a small amount once the spasms had passed, helped. So as miserable as I felt I actually put on weight! I had it down to a fine art - every twenty minutes I'd eat something - even a piece of dry bread.
It's awful and you have my sympathies.
Other old favourites include ginger, salt and vinegar crisps, etc etc. But nothing really helps. I hope it passes for you, at the three month stage.

Answer 3

My wife had big problems with this. The best remedy is a prescription called Zofran. It's an anti-nausea drug. It's rather expensive, though. So you should probably try other methods first.

We had really good results with those SeaBand things. (not sure if that's the right name). The device looks like a wristwatch. It gives you a mild electric current on your wrist, which does something with the nerves. I don't know the details of why it works, but it really worked well for us. You can buy them at many pharmacies or at marine/boat supply stores. Ask the folks at your local drug store if they have one. They are mildly uncomfortable, depending on how high you turn them up. But it's better than the nausea.

One of those B vitamins is also supposed to help...

Answer 4

I had sickness throughout my pregnancy - my son is 12 weeks old - I can safely say, NONE of the homeopathic rememdies worked for me. BUT, the do work for some people, so, try ginger (tea or biscuits), or peppermint. Also try those travel sickness wrist bands. If you find you are sick after EVERYTHING you eat, and you can't even keep fluid down, ring your midwife asap, as you may need rehydrating in hospital.
As for the headache, DRINK LOADS OF WATER, it's a good sign of dehydration, having a headache. Occasional paracetamol is OK during pregnancy too.

Answer 5

I can sympathise, I was the same and it was Christmas!! You have a headache because you are not drinking enough. It is nothing serious but you really must try and drink. I couldnt stomach water, only really strong hot decaff tea. Ginger products did nothing for me, but i could eat crusts from bread!! Just nibble on whatever you fancy at the time even if it means sending your partner to the 24 hour shop for it at 3am! It will get better so focus on that and also think that whilst your feeling so crappy, your baby is thriving.

Answer 6

You can get medication for morning sickness but I would rather go and see a GP before just taking anything someone recommends. Here are some remedies that might help...

Morning Sickness Remedies
Not all morning sickness remedies will work for you, but here is a collection of suggested remedies. You may have to try a few in order to get some relief.

Be sure to discuss your morning sickness and potential relief with your doctor.

Do you have a favorite remedy or have one that did absolutely nothing for you?? Why not share your thoughts with other morning sickness sufferers!

General Remedies:

* Avoid warm places as heat can increase the nausea feelings.
* Take naps during the day (but not right after eating). Tiredness plays a big part in morning sickness.
* Get enough sleep at night.
* Get out of bed slowly in the morning.
* Try eating plain crackers or dry cereal before you get out of bed in the morning.

Smells:

* Open windows or turn on exhaust fans when cooking and after meals.
* Cooking in the microwave usually produces less odors.
* Silly as it sounds, carry a handkerchief with a few drops of a non nausea causing essential oil (lemon for example) in it and breath through it if you can't get away from the smell that is bothering you.

Food and Drink:

* Avoid greasy or spicy foods as they often cause nausea or heartburn.
* Eat what you want when you want it. Your cravings will not lead you the wrong way.
* Have frequent protein snacks. (Low fat meats and seafood, nuts, eggs and beans are high protein.)
* Eat smaller meals every two hours or so.
* Eating something salty before a meal can help you "make it through" a meal.
* Do not drink fluids with your meals.
* Non caffeinated teas like peppermint and ginger can help calm nausea.
* Drink small amounts of fluids regularly though out the day to avoid dehydration.
* Do not skip meals if you can help it.
* Avoid spicy and fried food - both eating and smelling it can increase your nausea.
* Cold food may have less nausea inducing smells associated with them.

Supplements:

* Try taking your prenatals later in the day.
* Talk to your doctor about:
o Vitamin B6 - 50 mg. daily. Vitamin B6 has been shown to help with pregnancy induced nausea.
o Ginger capsules: 250 mg. three times daily. Ginger has long been associated with alleviating nausea. (Remember drinking ginger ale when you felt sick when you were little?)
o Ask your doctor if you can stop taking your Prenatals temporarily to see if the nausea diminishes. You may still need to take a Folic Acid supplement to help protect your baby.
o Talk to your doctor about not taking iron supplements unless you are anemic. Iron supplements can be hard for your stomach to deal with.

Answer 8

eat some crackers before getting out of bed so I hear but I am 29 weeks and have been throwing up nonstop for over 2 months now take tylenol of course if it gets too bad go to the er and they will give you something for your pain and nasuea I finally got some stuff for my vomitting funny I felt better in the early months then I do know good luck hopefully it wont last long for you.

Answer 9

Call your midwife or go to your doctor / if you have really bad sickness - you could be dehydrated and that is bad for both of you. Doctors have drugs to stop this excessive vomiting - drugs that are safe even during early pregnancy. Go soon and don't suffer.

Answer 10

I dont think there is much you can take really, but i would ask your gp or midwife for advice before asking any old joe bloggs off here. i know its no comfort but it will probably pass in another couple of weeks or so, good luck hope your feeling better soon to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy x

Answer 11

Get your DR to give you some phentergrine for sickness it is safe enough to take the whole time your pregnant and maybe a very mild pain pill like ultracet.
