My younger sister is 16, she recently found out she is pregnant, as far as i know im the only one in my family that knows, i dont want to tel anyone i want her to, but i want to help her where i can, she lives with her boyfriend and his mum at the moment, she txt me saying that whatever she eats or drinks she is sick, even water. she said she tried milk, cola, grapes, water and nothing is working, does anyone know if there is anything that will help her? She has always panicked when shes been sick so i'd really like to find something to help her.

i just realised that this prob looked quite bad for my parents. My mum was very upset about her staying with her bf, but my gran pointed out that the more she is trying to get her to stay at home, the more she is driving her away, and since she is old enough to live alone, it is her choice, so its not nearly an ideal situation, but theres nothing my mum can do about it.
I just thought i better clear that up. :)

If she's pregnant, then she needs to see a doctor ASAP for both her own health and that of the baby. The doctor can also evaluate her sickness feelings; it may be that she might need a medication to deal with the nausea.
When I carried twins, I was so sick I couldn't hold down anything (including water). The doctor gave me a shot of vitamin B12, and then prescribed B12 pill supplements to take once I COULD keep things in my stomach.
She REALLY needs to see a doctor before she becomes malnourished and/or dehydrated.

She has morning sickness. Tell her to try some ginger tea in the morning, also gingerale is good too.
She should have crackers, something dry and light.
You must tell her it is very important to see a doctor on a regular basis during her pregnancy, it is important for her healthy and especially the babies.
Most importantly, she should do some serious thinking about her life. Why is she living with her boyfriend and having babies at 16? Not a good way to go. I hope she adopts out the baby, she will most likely regret it if she doesn't. Then, she must get on birth control if she cannot refrain from sexual activity or she'll become pregnant again.
Let her know that sooner, more than later, she will begin to show and the secret will be out. Best to be honest and tell whomever now.

A doctor and some dry crackers, dont be embarassed to seek outside help from people who are trained to deal with things like this, i have been through young teen pregnancies in my family and i was always surprised how well my parents took it both from me and my other siblings, so if the situation permits i would let the parents know and try to get a support system going, trying to do it alone will be too hard, and it will be easier to deal with the reprocusions now and hurt and bad feelings now rather than waiting until the last minute and those who you and your sister will need the most feeling alianated and exile at the worst moment , good luck

This happend to me to. I was told to eat saltine crackers. At first they did not help but after awhile I got used to it. I was really sick to the point that I had to go into the hospital and get and IV with liquids pumped into me. She may have to do that. Have her make a docotors appointment asap so the doctor can help her. They have a pills for people with bad morning sickness. Try crackers thats all that I know of. Good luck.

Certainly no medications until she knows for sure if she is pregnant. Have her take some crackers to bed with her, and nibble on them before she gets up. Sipping ginger ale helps, and small meals. Filling up will only increase the nausea. She needs to see a doctor as soon as possible to get the best possible care for herself and the baby. She is still very young and still developing herself, so the baby will take more than she can afford to give. Starting on prenatal vitamins will help both her and the baby.

She has severe case of morning sickness, and she need to see a doctor to-day.
Some time eating salt cracker in the morning in the bad without getting out of the bed may help. Try sipping little water after the cracker then slowly move out of the bed. Must not jump out.

Christians could say... Brother Mixxed... or in the experience that your a woman....Sister Mixxed. the clarification is we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. Opps, sorry, I got here lower back to end the question...I pushed too early...LOL The plural "brethren" is often used for contributors of a company, fairly a non secular physique, while the plural "brothers" is used interior the familial experience besides as for greater desirable team. for this reason, if a pastor is speaking in front of the congregation and say Brethern...he's chatting with everybody interior the objective audience

I know you don't want to tell anyone, but you have to tell your parents and they'll know what to do. If you don't then your sister and her baby are going down the drain. Your parents will definetly freak out but what are they gonna do? they can't kill the baby or something. It is your sister's fault that she did that with her boyfriend and she's gonna hurt herself and her baby if she doesn't tell your parents soon. Tell her not to be afraid because obviously your parents are gonna know soon because of her ginormous belly.
I hope she'll be okay and think over the parent telling thing.

hi. take her to planned parenthood. since she's over 16 they don't have to disclose anything to your parents and they're very reliable and knowledgeable. try peppermint until you get in there but go ASAP. the mints will help to settle her stomach. part of it may be stress related and that may be why she's sick too. good luck

CRACKERS!!!!! Trust me.. She needs to go to the doctor. She can even go to the clinic and get free care. Sometimes the sickness is so bad that phenergan is needed. She really needs to get her prenatal care ASAP. Nobody has to know about it.
