i'll be 14 weeks in a couple of days and I
had the same problem until I was about
11-12 weeks. I'm surprised since you can't
hold anything down your doctor didn't
offer you some kind of medication.
Diclectin and Zofran (i think thats how
you spell it) are completely safe during
pregnancy and help alot with nausea,
especially if you can't eat.
I know for me the thought of food at all
made me feel ill. I found taking my
prenatal at night helped alot (you don't
mention when your taking it now), and also
popsicles! I would always get sick in the
car on the way to work so i'd grab a
popsicles on the way out and it helped
alot.
Also I found the longer I went without
eating (especially when i felt sick), the
more sick I would feel later on, if that
makes sense. It just turned into a cycle
of not feeling like i could eat for days
which seemed to compound the sickness.
when I did force myself to eat small meals
throughout the day my sickness seemed to
lessen (altough I was obviously still
nauseaus and not enjoying the eating) Try
to eat at least something, maybe some
saltine crackers or toast, something to
have in your stomach.
