Hi everyone. So I’m currently 8 weeks 3 days and have my very first prenatal appointment in a couple of days. I found out I was pregnant when I was 4 weeks and the nausea started at week 5. But when week 6 hit, the nausea went into overdrive. I wasn’t throwing up but the nausea quickly became severe and CONSTANT (every moment of the day).

This past week I haven’t been able to hold back in the mornings and I’ve been throwing up and I feel like the nausea is just getting worse. I’ve lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks because I can barely eat anything (4 of those pounds were in the last week alone). There will be random 5 minute spurts maybe twice a day where I try to eat anything I can but it’s just been awful.

Now I know there are people who get way worse morning sickness and are puking many times per day, which makes me feel awful and weak about complaining about this when I’m only throwing up once or twice a day. But I don’t know how I’m going to handle another month of this nausea and not being able to eat. I’ve tried every remedy I could find (ginger chews, preggie pops, ginger tea, ginger concentrate pills, acupressure bands, etc) but nothing has helped in the slightest and now the taste of ginger makes me even more nauseous.

Is this a mild case of HG? I want to bring my it up to my doctor this week and see if they’ll prescribe Zofran or something, but I’m scared they’ll tell me to just deal with it. Any advice from someone who’s experienced something similar?

Thank you all!
