I don't know how i'm going to make it. I
am sick all day and all night and it is
pure torture. I feel a little better
after I throw up but most of the time that
doesn't happen. I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and
this started about 4 or 5 days ago. I
also feel better after I eat but finding
foods that appeal to me is hard. I really
hate this.
How long should I expect this to last? I
can't really enjoy being pregnant if I
feel like i'm going to die. :(

I felt rough till about 13 or 14 weeks!
But everyone is different!
Try to eat little and often rather than 3
meals a day.. That should help as the
waiting too long before eating made me
feel even worse!
Hope you feel better soon!

Oh hun I wouldnt' want to trade places
with you. I remember those days. It
stopped for me at about 15 weeks. I have
been 4 weeks puke free and it's wonderful.
I do know that if I put off eating (like
I am doing now) it makes me a little ill.
They say just because you are sick, dont'
not eat, (love the double neg?) force
yourself to eat a little something. It
helped me. I didnt' eat greasy foods or
very spicy foods.
Good luck girl....Look on the brightside
only about 7 more weeks to go...Give or
take a few.

Ginger tea and lemon drops worked for me.
Also making sure that my stomach was
never empty was a big help. If you can
stand breads nad crackers and applesauce,
those things helped settle my stomach so I
could eat something else.

Oranges helped me. Made me feel lots
better and settled my stomach so that I
could eat a meal....But it wouldn't always
stay down.

I was on meds for the first trimester
cause I was losing so much weight from
throwing up.
Here are some tips if the doc doesn't give
you anything.
1. Always wait at least 1/2 hour before
or after eating before drinking
anything.
2. Carry lifesavers (now I now why
they're named that! Lol) for those times
you're in public
3. Like someone else said, eat small
meals frequently instead of 3 large
ones.
Worse comes to worse get the doc to
prescribe something. I was on diclectin.
My son is perfectly healthy (ok he's a
lil crazy! But what almost 9 month old
isnt?? Lol)
