I'm 6 1/2 weeks along. Been sooo sick, I vomit all day non stop after a while it turns into just stomach acid..SICK!! It hurts and I can't look at any food w/out vomiting or getting nausea's. I tried a B6 and unisom it didnt really do anything, I want something that will fix it not just put me to sleep so I dont get uncomfy. I tried phenergen that was awful, yesterday I got one Zofran and so far it's helped I've only vomited once and it's 11:30, I still feel like crap though..HELP!!!
Re: Extreme Morning/all day sickness
Sorry you are so sick . . . and I do know how awful it can be! Although mine has gotten a bit better. I went from all day sickness to now only when I first get up but once I eat I am fine ( I have to force myself to eat ) and then it hits again about 5 o-clock and throughout the evening! Fruit has seemed to help a lot!!
I know it's really hard to eat expecially when NOTHING sounds good but try to force yourself to eat something. I eat dry cheerios sometimes in the am because I can't stomach crackers anymore (and cheerios have folic acid in them too)!! A lot of times the reasoning behind being sick is that your stomach is empty and it's the acids that cause you to throw up. I know it's hard. I've seen the inside of our toilet more than I've ever in my life thought I would but it's all worth it!
I too take Zofran but I don't take it every day. I never take it on the weekends unless I'm really sick or knowing we are going out somewhere and not feeling too hot. It helps some but I still dry heave and am nauseated sometimes even after taking it! I'm sure if it wasn't for the drug though my food at times wouldn't be staying down.
Just becareful with how much you are vomiting. You don't want to get dehydrated and if you continue to vomit repeatedly and have spells of diarrhea (another sign of dehydration) you may want to call your doctor right away or go to the ER. Not to scare you but you just don't want to get dehydrated!! Maybe buy some gatorade too!
Thanks so much for your thoughts, so many people have been telling me "you can do it" or "that's just pregnancy" I feel like nobodys willing to help me and even though it may be common this is my first pregnancy and I get worried when I'm living in the bathrooom all day.
Thanks again!
