Relentless nausea?

Question

Hi everyone!
I'm in week 7 of my first pregnancy and started with the nausea a little over a week ago. It has been nonstop, all day, everyday since it started!

I've tried crackers in the morning, ginger ale, light meals throughout the day.. It's getting to the point where resuming normal activities of ANY kind are out of the question. I'm so emotionally and physically exhausted and I'm not sure what to do!

My Doc has given me an anti nausea Rx but I'm looking for advice on natural stuff! I want to avoid the Rx if possible but I'm feeling like I'm at a dead end. I'm not eating or drinking much of anything and what I do eat/drink comes back up within a matter of hours.. Just concerned about mine and my baby's nutritional status!

Thanks!

Answer

I take dicelgius, started taking it at 5 weeks and I'm 10.5 weeks now. I had 24/7 nausea & dry heaving prior to taking it, I wish I could throw up! I'm still nauseous all the time, but i can at least function with being on it. Before I was worthless.

Prior to taking the medication I tried everything. Eating smaller meals, ginger ale, peppermints, different teas, protein, crackers, carbs, lemons, lemon water, sucking on sour candy ...nothing helped. On top of it I have horrid food aversions, so it was hard to find anything palatable. And any liquid is disgusting to me, so I've been dehydrated for awhile. I bought sea bands, the lady at the store swore they helped her nausea...they did nothing for me. You can try some of the above, maybe it'll work for you! But honestly, I regret not calling my dr sooner. I was sooo miserable. Dicelgius does help, but like I said, still nauseous on it..but it's better then nothing!

Answer

I gave in and took the rx - Diclegis. I only take 1 pill a day (dr recommended 2 but I hate taking pills so I'm trying to go on the bare minimum). It's been a life saver. It's the only way I can eat and function.

Answer

I take prenatal vitamins and don't worry about it.
