Eat whatever sounds good or whatever you can keep down. If it gets too bad, you might want to get in touch with your doctor.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Try keeping some crackers by your bed and eating a couple before you even get up in the morning, and always try to keep a little something in you...As in don't let yourself get completely empty cause that makes you feel even worse. Truthfully, I wasn't super sick but the few weeks where I was the only thing I could keep down were peanut butter crackers...And make sure you are getting enough fluids...

But if you are throwing everything up you need to get ahold of your doctor, he could give you something to help...

Take care and know that your baby will be fine, and that this will most likely pass in a few weeks!

Take care

I Went Through the Same Thing!!!!!
I am about 4 1/2 months along....(well now they think 6) - but I was very sick for atleast 6 weeks. I lost 14 lbs total. I didn't get dehydrated so I was fine....But I could not eat a thing - not even water. I just had to force toast and juice down. It was terrible. Make sure to let your doctor know though so they can make sure you stay hydrated. One thing that did help is stopping my prenatals (my doctor said to)! Lying in bed only makes is worse - like the room is spinning when you get up. Try to get some fresh air. I came through it, and I am sure you will too. Good luck sweetie......Feel free to ask any questions.

Onions
I love fried onions but in the last week, im 6 weeks gone,with twins (pray hope their ok) even the thought of them makes me heave and gag. Its sooo bizarre why does this happen? Is it only meat that does it to you?

i have no clue why it happens. I loved spegettii and then bam just tha thought of it made me wana barf. Sodas, meat, veggies, mostly everythng. The only thing I can eat or drink is jello, fruit loops, cucumbers, salad, krackers and orange juice. Im hoping this will get better soon cuz it sucks.

Is it only onions that does this to you or is there more??

In the evenings I cant eat anything apart from exactly what im craving at the time, last night it was oranges( I ate 6) and the night before it was spaghetti carbanara. But no its is only onions that makes me gag 24/7. But at the moment im a fiend for hot orange squash its killing my morning sickness right off.
