I know the saltine crackers, ordeal.
But those dont work with me.
Im currently not taking in vitamins as I just found out I was pregnant about a week ago, when I went to the doctor for upper abdominal pain, I still dont know what that could be from, she said she didnt know either.
But I have a GYNO app, friday. I just feel sick when I start to eat.
And I know I need to eat atleast something, but everything hurts my stomach, so much, I have absolutely no appettite.
Foods I love, seem totally BLAH to me.
Im not vomiting or anything, just sick, and its at the top of my stomach, not the bottom?

My OB told me to take a Unisom at night and vitamin B6, 25mg three times a day for the nausea. It works great! I wish I had know about it 3 pregnancies ago. I am normally sick morning, noon and night for 6 months!
And yes, try three small meals with snacks in between. The hungrier you get the more nauseaus you'll be. I know nothing sounds good, but just try to eat. Someone suggested the things you would eat if you had the flu.
Good luck. I know it's tough, But the Unisom thing REALLY helped me.

This is only the beginning, I am currently 14weeks pregnant and still nauseas. I have been sick to my stomach since my 7th week, everyday since that day I have been throwing up. I have been throwing up to a point that my stomach hurts. I get dizzy,faint and weak, all that really makes me feel better is when I lay down. Sometimes even when I lay down I still feel nauseas. I had even lost weight because of all the puking I did. But thankfully things have calmed down, I only throw up once a day sometimes twice. There were also times that I couldnt keep food in my stomach, and now I really have no cravings. Ginger ale helped me a lot, also beans. Dont eat and drink water, that always made puke. But do keep yourself hydrated, because that helps with feeling nauseas. Im not big on water, so it didnt help me.So Good Luck and Congrats.

When I was pregnant with my second I was so sick at the stomach. Of course I tried the cracker thing. I had to consult with my doctor to see. You do not need to take or do anything until you get through with your app Friday. You wouldn't want to do anything to hurt the baby. Keep trying the cracker thing(saltine).

oh i definetly understand!!! I had the SAME thing when i was pregnant. It was just that i had very bad heartburn! Eating SUCKS while your pregnant especially when you have heartburn. What i tried was eating 2 tums about half hour before i tried to eat anything and then i would eat small meals that were gentle on my stomach like soup and toast or something. Avoid juices like orange juice as the acid can make it worse! Good luck though....try to eat somethin!!! The crackers thing didn't work for me either so..really..it will get better!

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.
