Why? Why do I feel so gross ....

Question

I throw up everything.... I take medicine to keep it down but it only last for a few and I can’t take more then a 4 a day... I feel gross... like in my own body ... I know I shouldn’t but I do . I’m almost 8 weeks pregnant but I feel gross in my own body.

Answer

Honestly I hate to say it but you just have to suck it up. I had awful “morning” sickness all 37 weeks I was pregnant throwing up 5-9 times a day. I too was prescribed diclegis and it did nothing. My only advice is eat things you know will try to help settle you stomach. For me it was watermelon. And eat tiny tiny tiny amounts basically whenever you have a moment that feeling like vomiting has subsided.  To be honest the best thin I did was continue working and going about my daily thing because it helped me take my mind off of constantly feeling sick and hungry at the same time. It’s hard. At my 27 week appoint I had lost nearly 20lbs from when I got pregnant. I think back and wonder how the heck I managed but I just stayed positive. I tried to avoid anything that brought attention to me. People asked how I was doing it was always I’m doing awesome and baby is great because it kept me grounded knowing there’s still a growing fetus and I might feel crappy that soon to be baby is doing awesome!
