Congrats on being 9 weeks   I'm just past 10 weeks and I'm thrilled. Can't wait to be out of this trimester.  Good luck!  Oh, I'm no help on the sickness.  I don't suffer from it.

Ew- milk is NEVER something to drink when you are feeling nauseous.

Gatorade works for me. Or regular Coca-Cola.

Why can't you go to the regular dr by yourself? If you're not spotting, you "just want to see a dr.", please dear lord do NOT go the emergency room- it is for EMERGENCIES, which this is not.

Uhm why do you want to go to the ER? For an early u/s??

Cramping is normal.. unless its severe cramping. (esp with Blood)

We all had to wait to go to the Dr. I suggest not going to the E.R. UNLESS its a serious emergency. Some of us longer than others but we did..

Eat what you can. For days I puked up everything I ate. If anything, drink a tablespoon of gadorade or pedialyte and wait 15 mins.. see if it makes you puke. If not, keep doing it until you slowly start to get hydrated. When  you are sick like I am.. I find that NO MATTER what is it I crave it, I eat it and pray it stays down. SMALL MEALS.. too. Vital.

UNISOM (the sleep meds, yes) worked wonders for me last nite. I slept thru the nite.. and so far am vomit free. My Midwife said it should last me thru most of the day.. B6 will also help.

BUT YEAH like I said.. I HIGHLY suggest NOT using the ER as a way to get an early u/s. Bad news.

I was getting severe cramps every time I had to pee.  I finally made the connection after a few days.  Your doctor should have an emergency line that you can call in order to get in to see him. I wouldn't waste your time or money on the ER, they will just refer you to your OB.
