Help me!!!

im 9 weeks along and up till now everything has been fine, but this week hit and I cannot even stand up without immediately throwing up. I've wanted so badly to do this without prescription drugs, but I'm running out of things to try. I have acupressure bands on, I drink ginger, I take B6, I've tried the suckers and nothing is helping the past two days. I'm getting scared because I can't keep anything nutrious down. Anyone else have any suggestions?

  • Ask the doctor for dicelgis. That's what many on here have been helped by. It's category A so about as safe as you can hope for. It's a combo of B6 and unisom.

    I had the same thing at week 9. It will pass. I spent as much of the time as I could laying down or sitting with my feet up. Sleep was a good escape. Nothing really helped but it did get better. If you can, have someone bring food/drink to you rather than getting up. I couldn't eat much but if I minimized movement it helped. I also switched to taking my prenatal at night which helped with nausea during the morning and afternoon. Hope you feel better soon!
  • Go and get checked for dehydration. I got sick a bit earlier on than that but have been in hospital for IV's to rehydrate... The food isn't an issue at this stage so much as the water. Your body needs hydration.

    Being on medication does suck, but I lost seven kilos, and since I've been taking the meds I was able to put two back on and can hold some stuff down. It can be worth it... Currently being medicated for hyperemesis. If you have that too, I think medication is the safest option.
  • The B6 and Unisom combo at night has been a lifesaver for me! Maybe ask your OB about it. Feel better soon!
  • I second diclegis. It hasn't been magical for me, but definitely takes the edge off.
