unable to keep the food down..help!

Hello,  I have been unable to eat the last week without vomiting. I have tried eating small amounts, not eating too late, taking tums etc.. But I start with indigestion and then it just comes up. I mean REALLY comes up! Anyone else dealing with this problem? Anyone take anything for this problem? I realize my stomach is swished a bit with the 2 LO's in there but geezzz! Thanks!

  • Make sure to call your doctor.  Nausea/vomiting can be a sign of pre-eclampsia.  Since you're expecting twins, you are at increased risk. 

    However, it's probably just normal pregnancy puking.  My vomiting came back with a vengence third trimester.  I puked every single day and multiple times a day in third trimester.  Dh would make dinner, I'd eat then go straight and sit in the shower as it came back.  I would use a big cup from a sporting event to puke into and then flush it into the toilet.  I just got tired of throwing up over the toilet, and I'd pee on myself which is annoying.  Your poor little sphincters can only do so much when you're forcefully puking and carrying the weight of 2 babies.  I found the shower made me feel better and was the easiest place to be.  Yep that's kinda graphic and TMI but it's the reality of carrying twins.  Every single night pretty much same routine. 

    Are you taking an H2 blocker or a PPI?  That did seem to help me a little. 

    Hope you feel better soon!!
