Every pregnancy is different, so it's hard to say if you'll get worse or not (doesn't sound like it can get much worse though).
If you seriously can't even keep liquids down you need to talk to your doctor - he/she might put you on medication, or at least an IV every now and again to keep you hydrated.
Um, for me, Pedyalite Popsicles have been a huge help in calming my stomach and keeping me hydrated after loosing my cookies.
...and Carnation Instant breakfasts have been a life-saver for me because I've been better at keeping liquids down than solids - and since I kept throwing up my pre-natal vitamins the instant breakfasts have been a good way to get a lot of those vital nutrients back in my body.
Hang in there - I know it's miserable.

Congrats first of all. Secondly, morning sickness is actually a good thing. Its an indicator that all the hormones are flowing! That's the positive spin my doc put on it to try and make me feel better, lol. If you can't keep any food down and none of the old tricks work, call your doctor he can give you something for it. Best of luck.

I know you must be feeling awful right now but the sickness is a good sign.It means there is a high level of the pregnancy hormone.This indicates a strong pregnancy.As you have miscarried twice already,you need to get an early scan done,just to set your mind at rest.Try to avoid the triggers that make you sick,make sure you don't become dehydrated and rest all you can.Keep in touch with your doctor,sometimes,if you are really sick you may need to go to hospital to have fluids via a drip.

• Try to avoid foods and smells that trigger your nausea. If that seems like almost everything, it's okay to eat the few things that do appeal to you for this part of your pregnancy, even if they don't add up to a balanced diet.
It might also help to stick to bland foods. Try to eat food cold or at room temperature, when it tends to have less of an aroma than when it's hot.
• Keep simple snacks, such as crackers, by your bed. When you first wake up, nibble a few crackers and then rest for 20 to 30 minutes before getting up. Snacking on crackers may also help you feel better if you wake up nauseated in the middle of the night.
• Eat small, frequent meals and snacks throughout the day so that your stomach is never empty. Some women find that carbohydrates are most appealing when they feel nauseated, but one small study found that high-protein foods were more likely to ease symptoms.
• Avoid fatty foods, which take longer to digest. Also steer clear of rich, spicy, acidic, and fried foods, which can irritate your digestive system.
• Try drinking fluids primarily between meals. And don't drink so much at one time that your stomach feels full, as that will make you less hungry for food. A good strategy is to sip fluids frequently throughout the day.
Aim to drink about a quart and a half altogether. If you've been vomiting a lot, try a sports drink that contains glucose, salt, and potassium to replace lost electrolytes.
• Give yourself time to relax and take naps if you can. Watching a movie (preferably not one about food!) or visiting with a friend can help relieve stress and take your mind off your discomfort. Or try hypnosis — while there's no definitive evidence that it helps with morning sickness, it has been shown to be effective in combating nausea during chemotherapy.
• Try taking your prenatal vitamins with food or just before bed. You might also want to ask your healthcare provider whether you can switch to a prenatal vitamin with a low dose of iron or no iron for the first trimester, since this mineral can be hard on your digestive system.
• Try ginger, an alternative remedy thought to settle the stomach and help quell queasiness. See if you can find ginger ale made with real ginger. (Most supermarket ginger ales aren't.) Grate some fresh ginger into hot water to make ginger tea, or see if ginger candies help.
A few studies found that taking powdered ginger root in capsules provided some relief, but be sure to talk to your provider before taking ginger supplements. There's no way to be sure how much of the active ingredient you're getting in these supplements, so some experts think it's best not to use them. (As with many other things that are helpful in small amounts, the effects of megadoses are unknown.)
• Try an acupressure band, a soft cotton wristband that's sold at drugstores. You strap it on so that the plastic button pushes against an acupressure point on the underside of your wrist. This simple and inexpensive device, designed to ward off seasickness, has helped some pregnant women through morning sickness — although research suggests that it may be largely a placebo effect.
• Ask your provider about a device that stimulates the underside of your wrist with a mild electric current. This "acustimulation" device costs about $75 and is available by prescription only. It's safe, and research has shown that this technique works well for some women.

Congratulations, Hopefully with all of this morning sickness you will have a healthy baby! It will pass, don't worry!!! Keep food on your stomach though so that you won't get to the nauseas point. If you aren't keeping anything down though, you should call your doctor they can give you phenergan. Good Luck!! =)

In my first 6 weeks, I was so incredibly nauseous. I couldn't even get out of bed or turn over without gagging.
I'm sure it's normal. You, your baby, and the rest of your family are in my thoughts! Best of luck to you & congratulations!

Unfortunately, I was nauseas constantly until about my 3rd month. If you can just try and take a lot of naps, and drink ginger ale and eat soda crackers- it helps a little.

Ginger capsules, ginger snaps, ginger ale. Bananas worked for me, too. I couldn't handle water, so I really had to experiment to find something I could drink. Whatever works for you, don't chug it, no matter how thirsty you are. And keep talking to your doctor. You shouldn't get too dehydrated.

Relax. Good luck and congrats! It's so normal to be sick all day. I was. I didn't feel better until the 9th week. So, hold on it does get better. :)
