Nauseus when stomach empty?

Ok, my newest symptom is immediate full blown nauseasness the second my stomach has nothing in it.  Its led me to run to the kitchen or anywhere there is food and shove my face.  DH thought I should avoid food because it would make me sicker.  Somehow not the case...

Day before Thanksgiving at 2am in bed went something like this:

Me: Honey I think I need something--like a cracker

Him: You're fine, it will just make your stomach hurt more

Me: No, I think I need something-- my stomach really hurts

Him: A cracker will just irritate your stomach and you will throw up.

Me: ok.... ::one minute later is running into the bathroom throwing up in the sink::

Only time I have actually thrown up.  Why did I listen to him in the first place?  Dumb meHuh? 


 

Re: Nauseus when stomach empty?

  • That is how I am. If I don't eat about every 2 hours I am sick.

  • I'm the same way...I feel like I'm going to be sick all the time, until I eat something! One of my friends just kept some saltine crackers on her nightstand so when she would get nauseated she would just roll over and grab a cracker. I haven't tried that yet but I keep waking up in the middle of the night because I'm so sick to my stomach...haven't actually gotten sick but it's pretty annoying not being able to sleep at night and I'm sure my hubby wouldn't mind if he could get a good night's sleep before going to work. 

    Good luck!

  • Keep food in your belly at all times.

    Even if it is just a cracker.  All of the increased hormones can take a toll on your tummy.

  • I've vomited because I had an empty stomach.  It was just bile, and I was driving on the freeway vomiting into a plastic bag.  

    NOT fun.

  • Same thing with me- I actually got out of bed last night at 1am made myself peanut butter and crackers and went back to sleep. I get hunger pains so bad like I havent eaten in a week- which quickly turns into nausea

  • i keep an insulated lunch bag on my nightstand. it's filled with yogurt and fruit cups so that every two hours, i just roll over and munch away. it's saved my life.

    i also need to buy stock in activia yogurt. i can't even count how many i've eaten in the past two months.

  • Yep, I have to eat every two hours or my m/s is much worse.  What sucks is that my food aversions keep changing.  It's hard to keep the right snacks at work.
  • yes, with my first pregnancy I had to have crackers in the nightstand for weeks!
  • Fortunately, this has been the extent of my m/s, but whenever I don't eat for too long I get sick. As long as I keep food around - even if it isn't much - I'm fine.
  • I thought I was the only one who felt this way!  So far I've never actually gotten sick, but it's been close.  I feel much better when my stomach is not empty.  I always have some sort of snack with me!

  • I've had the EXACT same thing. About every 3 hrs I'm hungry, and I've noticed that if my stomach growls and I don't eat something right away, within 15-20 mins I feel so sick it's horrible, but as soon as I eat, I'm fine...so next time you feel sick, EAT..
