So nauseous at 8 weeks!

Can anyone help me out? I am so nauseous 24/7. I have lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks (not super drastic, I know). The nausea is constant. I have tried bland foods including pretzels & crackers, especially before I actually get up out of bed. I live on ginger ale (sips) and ice water. I have tried the preggie pop drops and chews as well as hard peppermints with no relief. I do not want anti-nausea meds from my ob because I'm terrified of side effects (look up 1970's anti-nausea meds and birth defects).

Any tips/tricks to feel semi-normal?
