What do I eat?! (Venting)

Question

I have been sooo nauseous the past few weeks and I finally threw up. Although I feel better now I am still struggling with what to eat. I’ve read tons of articles and tried everything but I still feel so sick constantly. It’s gotten to the point that I don’t want to eat or drink anything ever. I know that’s not good for me or baby but nothing eases my stomach. I’m so frustrated, exhausted, AND HUNGRY. I can’t even drink water without gagging. 
Any serious suggestions would be very much appreciated. I think I’m gonna try super duper bland foods like brown rice and crackers? Has anyone tried chicken soup? Has that been easy on the stomach?

Answer

I know this sounds dumb, but I just wander around the grocery store and buy the first thing that sounds good - go home and cook it. This week I ate stuffed mushrooms, which I don’t usually like. 
I was watching TV yesterday and she was making something that reminded me of this soup we used to make at home, so I ran out and got the ingredients. 
If I don’t eat something I actually want it always triggers my gag reflex. It’s like my throat just closes off and will not swallow. 
I hope that helps at all. I know it sucks to not want anything and to always feel sick.

I'm the same and am miserable. One day something will sound good, the next day the thought of that same food has me gagging. Water doesn't sit well & throwing up usually doesn't give relief. I'm pretty sure my Kindergarten students think I'm dying 😂 The things that have been pretty constant for me that I can keep down are crackers, bread, ginger ale, & I'm drinking water through really mild lukewarm ginger tea. Maybe some of those will help? Good luck!

Answer

I do sprite and saltine crackers on days my nausea simply doesn’t let up (seems like today is another one of those days...).
 
I also do the grocery store wandering... BUT, stay away from the butcher section.  The smells there get me EVERY PREGNANCY. 😭😭😭

Answer

girl you gotta find what works for you and not what works for anyone else. bc every pregnancy is different. for me my medication was working for a week but now I still throw up every hour in the morning. the foods that have helped me don't anymore my body keeps changing and obviously the stuff that's going to help me is going to change with it.

Answer

The only thing I could eat was fried foods...like McDonald’s 🤷‍♀️ but that only last week 6 And wasn’t that bad. I feel like I’ll get it worse later

Answer

I feel ya...I couldn’t even go in a grocery store and lost about fifteen pounds but I had hyperemesis. When I was up for food though fresh sliced fruit or veggies was what I wanted.

Answer

Try toast.. for a little added nutrients try it with hummus, avocado or tomatoe slices.

Answer

Try Vitamin b6 and unisom at night. I was nauseous for 2 weeks straight. barely ate anything or drank. My midwife told me to take the b6 and unisom. Taking it at night helps for the next day (since unison is a sleeping medication).

Answer

Grilled cheese, Cheerios, bagels, chicken noodle soup
