Well im 8 weeks pregnant today! Yay!
Around the 7th week I started feeling
neasous, no puking just neasua. Well
tonight me and my boyfriend went out to
eat and I ate alot of greasy stuff.
Bloomming onion, fish fry and french
fries. Usually I have an iron
stomach...But alas 3:30 in the morning I
threw up. I felt much better afterwards,
but now im afarid im gonna be puking all
the time. Do you think it was just from
the overload of greasy foods? What are
some tips to curb morning sickness?
Thanks so much! I'm also almost positive
its not a stomach flu becuase I havent
been around anyone who's been sick. I
also threw up my prenantal vitiman...Is it
ok to miss one for a day? Thanks again!

My suggestion is just to eat lighter
meals.(lighter as in less food) never too
full when pregnant. Just eat more times
per day.

I cooked gallons of chicken soup and we
almost had to buy a saltine factory for my
wife in her first 4 almost 5 months of
pregnancy.
She would be so hungry, eat, throw up, and
come back and eat and then start all over
again.
It would probably be a good idea to ask
your hubby or mom or someone to cook up a
bunch of lightly seasoned chicken or
turkey or even vegetable soup and get lots
of saltine crackers and ginger ale.
It was a miserable time for my wife but
once she was done being sick, it was like
a miracle. She just didnt get sick again.
It was finally over.
Also, do like joanna said, eat light meals
many times a day. The baby will get all
the food it needs by default but you can
become very malnurished because you cannot
keep food down for the 2 of you.
Another think nicole did was eat peanut
butter toast in the morning. That would
stay down and nestle chocolate milk. They
are not cheap but I could have her
breakfast done and her lunch packed in 10
minutes before she had to be out the
door.
Good luck,
brian

My doctor told me to eat more but spread
it out during the day. Dont try to eat
all I want at once. I had a serious
problem with nausia but doing this had
helpped me alot with it. I have not
thrown up since . Lol

Hey, I heard that there are ways to stop
you from throwing up like eatting ice and
I also heard that you should have a box of
crackers by your bed so when u feel like
your going to throw up you just nibble
down some crackers and no more puking...
But to me this dosnt seem to relalistic,
kinda songs like an old wise tail.. Is
there actallu anything you can do to
pervent it?

From what I saw with my wife, there is
nothing that will help! She also had a
prescription for promethazine
suppositories and they helped a very
little bit but it did not stop her from
throwing up! It helped her to not have to
throw up multiple times at a meal.
It is horrible for the person going
through it but it does end at some point
and then it is smooth sailing from there.
(at least for us it was)

Eating For Two! Posted: 01-16-06 09:45am
Maybe this is like an omen, a reminder
that you are feeding your little one
inside of you. You may not can control
the nausea and throwing up, but you can
control what goes into your body. Start
by eating healthy, if not for you for this
baby. Whole grains, fruits, vegetables,
proteins( turkey and chicken).........All
the fried foods are clogging your
arteries....Imagine what toll its taking
on this baby! You have other things to
consider now when you eat! This baby
should be your number one priority! :d

Yes fairy godmother eating a good diet is
important but I will give the advice my
wifes ob gave.
Eat anything that will stay down with the
exception of shellfish because they
contain high levels of pollution that is
not too dangerous for adults but can
affect the baby seriously.
If mcdonalds double cheeseburgers are the
only food that you can get in you without
throwing up, eat them and do not feel bad.
As long as you get your prenatals down
and they stay down, the baby will be
great!

Popsicles, vitamin b12 worked wonders for
me dr even told me I could take maalox
(for heartburn/sick stomach), I have to
say mcdonalds chesseburgers helped out
lol!!! There is also another thing to
try its called a brat diet when you not
feeling so good
b-banana
r-rice
a-apple
t-toast
it does help
unfortunatly I never suffered morning
sickness only severe heartburn which would
make me puke or feel nauseated....

We tried the b.R.A.T. Diet for about 1
week and by the end of it I really was
afraid for my life..... Lol
like I said before, I cooked chicken soup
and packed saltines for months, if she
wanted anything it actually wasn't
mcdonalds it was wendys cheese burgers and
medium frostys.
I actually gained weight durring pregnancy
because our diet was so horrible but I had
to do everything I could to get food in
her belly!
Also, don't forget to drink lots of water!
We had the er run due to dehydration from
sickness and I knew we were going to get
hit with a bag of fluids and a $1500
hospital bill because she was dehydrated
and that was exactly what it was. So
please if your husbands are begging you to
drink water even though you are throwing
up, drink it dont throw it at them ;)

I puked a lot during the first few weeks
and still do (just not too often as I
controle what I eat) I am 9 weeks
preggers and durning the first 6 weeks I
was only able to eat oranges without
throwing up. But I had to force myself
to eat other things just not greasey
stuff. Now I only throw up stuff that
doesn't sit well.
Eating crackers or sipping on ice or
ginger ale didn't help me too much.
