I was exactly the same..... no physical sickness, just nausea. I took a multi vitamin for use during pregnancy as i knew i was going to be losing out on a lot of food groups, plus it gives little one a great start. I also found my adversion to certain foods made it difficult to eat. I used to love salt and vinegar crisps and chocolate, but could no longer eat those ( Wot - No chocolate!!!). I used to stay alive on glasses of milk, fresh veg (i know this is boring but it really boosts your energy), bananas are good for cramps and a pottasium supply, basically eat little and often! also ginger biscuits by the bed - have one or 2 before you get up. Dont not eat - the empty stomach will make it a whole lot worse. But do sleep or nap when you get the opputunity - you have an excuse now!

Good luck hun

You are experiencing "morning sickness" You don't have to be throwing up all the time! I am 9 weeks pregnant at the moment & am expeeriencing the same thing. I already have 2 kids & know from experience that the best thing to do, no matter how much you DON"T feel like it is EAT!!! That is the best way to stop the nausia. Just try a hand full of grapes! They are light & sweet & should be enough to bring your blood sugar up alittle so you might feel upto making yourself some toast or something. Just remember, eat small meals OFTEN!!! & you will feel much better!
Take care, I hope all goes well for you!

I had so called morning sickness all day and all night untill I was 6 months pregnant. The things I found that helped were drinking very cold water, chewing ice, keeping my body slightly cold as I got sick whenever I got even a little bit warm. Also nibbling on very plain biscuits or crackers helped. I got sick because I was pregnant and then felt even worse because I couldn't eat. You must try your best to eat a little to keep your strength up. Eat little and often so you don't feel bloated of too full. That's all I got hun but hope it helps. Good luck xxx

I think it is safe to say that you are having morning sickness.
FYI: morning sickness isn't just in the morning. It can last all day and night.
I was sick for about 16 hours a day until my 13th week.
You need to eat about 5-6 small meals a day. When you always have something in your stomach it can lessen the effect of the sickness.
Some people say eat crackers or drink ginger tea. You can try that, but it never worked for me
About 25 mg of vitamin B6 pills can lessen the sickness.
You can also contact your OB and see if they can give a prescription for Phenergan, which is an anti nausea medication.

dnt take any multi-vits BEFORE asking ur doc if ur ok to. s/he may actually perscribe u pregnancy safe ones as theres some vits in the normal shop ones u suldn't have alot of.
take a glass of water to bed so u can just have a sip (and i REALLY mean sip, or u'll puke there n then) last thing @ night n 1st thing in the morning.
try anything wiv ginger, idealy actual ginger. i drank 4 pinks of ginger ale when i had morning sickness and for that whole day i didn't have anymore sickness. only down side was i hate ginger ale and everytime i burped i culd taste it agn!!!! ewwwwwwww.

ur doc can give u summat if ur sickness is gettin too bad to keep anything dwn. if u get the option, go for the jab! my m8 had the anti-sickness pills n they came straight bk up.

but anyway! congratulations!! u fink puking is bad? u w8 til ur crying @ the end of a cupper!

Hi:) Sounds like morning sickness to me.It can happen anytime day or night so why it's called morning sickness who know's..lol. Make sure you are taking your pre-natal vitamins and drinking lot's of fluids.Staying hydrated is very important.Ginger is supposed to help,some teas have ginger in them,ginger candies ,ginger ale,etc.Eat anything that will stay down .It's hard to tell you what to eat since there are certain things that make me sick right now that won't bother you and vice versa.Keep in mind it will pass soon ..feel better :)

I was just like you - feeling sick but not actually throwing up. The important thing is to make sure you do eat. I felt better after eating even though I didn't feel like doing so. Small meals eaten frequently helped. Personally I found cheese sandwiches helped (I don't know why).

I had this - it came in themorning but lasted all blomming day!!! I wouldn't eat as I felt so sick then I would get faint and dizzy becuase of this! It was a viscious circle!

Eat little and often was the answer for me. I ate dry toast, ginger nut biscuits, simple tasting sandwiches and plain pasta. Looking in the fridge or round the shops for something to eat would just make me feel sick!

It will pass but its a nightmare at the time!

All the best!

There are a number of remedies for morning sickness. These include:

* Eat small, frequent meals. When the stomach is empty, it produces acid that irritates the stomach lining. In addition, an empty stomach can cause low blood sugar, which can also cause nausea.
* Eat foods high in proteins and complex carbohydrates. Protein foods (e.g., eggs, cheese, and yogurt) and complex carbohydrates (e.g., whole-grain breads and cereals, dried beans and peas, and baked potatoes) discourage stomach upset and are also beneficial to both mother and baby.
* Avoid foods and beverages that do not sound appealing. Pregnant women usually experience at least one food aversion. The more appetizing a food appears to be, the more likely it is to stay down.
* Stay hydrated. Dehydration can worsen nausea, so pregnant women should drink plenty of fluids. If a woman has an aversion to fluids, she can eat foods with a high water content, such as watermelon, grapes, and other fruits.
* Try a vitamin B6 supplement. Vitamin B6 reduces nausea in some women, and is not harmful in recommended doses during pregnancy. Women should consult their healthcare practitioner before taking supplements.
* Eat or drink ginger. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) settles the stomach for some women. Ginger tea and foods made with ginger (such as ginger snaps) are usually available at grocery or health food stores.
* Try an herbal infusion. An infusion, or tea, of two parts black horehound (Ballota nigra), one part meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), and one part chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile), taken three times a day, can soothe morning sickness for some women. Women should always consult their healthcare practitioner before taking herbal remedies during pregnancy.
* Wear sea bands. Sea bands are elastic bands worn around the wrists which place pressure on the inner wrist, an acupressure point for controlling nausea. They are usually used for controlling carsickness and seasickness.
* Keep the mouth fresh. Mints and regular tooth brushing can decrease excess saliva. Using a mouth rinse and/or brushing the teeth after vomiting is a good idea to control tooth decay and lessen stomach upset.
* Stay well rested. Fatigue and stress can make morning sickness worse.

Allopathic Treatment

Some women with extreme cases of morning sickness may develop a condition known as hyperemesis gravidarium (excessive vomiting during pregnancy). These women are at risk for dehydration and insufficient weight gain, and may require bed rest and intravenous nutrition and fluids if vomiting cannot be controlled.

Several antiemetic, or antivomiting, medications are available for pregnant women. Antiemetic medication should always be prescribed by a physician familiar with its use and with the patient's medical history. Antiemetics may be contraindicated (or not recommended) for patients with certain medical conditions. They may also interact with other medications.

Expected Results

Morning sickness treatments have varying success. Some women will find one or more remedies that can completely cure their nausea, while others may remain sick throughout their pregnancy. In addition, women expecting two or more babies usually experience heightened morning sickness due to the higher level of pregnancy hormones in their bodies, and may suffer from nausea and vomiting for a longer time than women with a single pregnancy. However, for the majority of pregnant women, nausea stops or at least diminishes by the end of the first trimester.

Prevention

The best cure for preventing bouts of nausea is to eat frequently. Many women find that eating six small meals or snacks a day (morning, mid-morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and bedtime) prevents stomach upset. Getting adequate rest can also help to keep morning sickness at bay.

Sounds lik it could be morning sickness. Try to sip flat cola or ginger ale. Make sure you stay hydrated if you find it hard to eat. Eat salty potato chips ( they have been found to settle stomachs enough to eat a meal).
