Hi there!
I am new to the bump... just found out that we are pregnant on Thanksgiving morning. So excited, but so sick! Everyone talks about morning sickness- well this is morning, noon, and night sickness. GI issues, constant nausea and dizziness, and the last 2 days a slight fever. Has anyone else experienced this? I've treated the fever, and I'm calling a potential OB tomorrow morning. I never expected to feel like this... hopefully since I'm almost in week 7 it will only be for a few more weeks! Any thoughts/advice would be lovely

Re: Sick and Tired
Hello this is going to sound funny but there are these lollipops called preggie pops(you can get them online, im a doula ordered them before) they come in funky flavors that really help nausea,also ginger, ginger tea ginger snaps and crakers(saltines before you get out of bed- and the seabands will help lots of fliud too!
First of all congrats!!
I too was sick all day long. What helped most for me was to eat carbs every couple of hours. Even though i felt sick and didn't want to eat that helped the most!
Good luck!
If you're 7 weeks, the nausea is probably only beginning for you! Mine started at the end of week 6- I'm now midway through week 10 and it's in full force! Along with what everyone else has said, if it gets really bad and you start losing weight, see if you can get a prescription for Zofran. My OB prescribed it for me and it's a wonder drug! I just take it every 8 hours (or as needed) and it's been a big help.
Feel better!
