  call your dr and they can give you medicine. Do this asap so that you can start eating and giving your baby the nutrients it needs to grow!

  Have you talked to your OB at all about it? Sounds like you need to call your OB asap and get some prescription nausea meds like Zofran.

  I agree with PPs.  Zofran is my best friend while pregnant.  I waited until I was 19 weeks with DS and this time I asked for it at my first appointment....worth every penny!

  Go to Planned Parenthood

  They do prenatal care on a sliding fee basis (usually free or very low cost) and should be able to write you a prescription.  If they can't help you, they should know of resources in your area that can help

  GL and I hope you feel better soon

  You should see your MD, but, I ate sour candy, sour patch kids and that helped a bit as well as fresh cut watermelon.  Hope you feel better soon.

  Oh sweetie I've been suffering through the same since week 6. Been on Zofran since then. Have you talked to your Dr?

  For me, it helped to eat carbs. Not the healthiest but I've tried them all: sea bands, ginger teas, cookies, candies, natal pops, water in between meals vs WITH your meals, sucking on lemons and other citrus, taking prenatals at night vs daytime, saltine crackers, switching to natural toothpaste. Sigh. Unfortunately still suffering from it and I'm almost in my 19weeks. 

  The one thing my colleague, a dietitian, suggested that I didn't try is Hydrochloric supplements. Google it if you're interested. Her theory is that because a pregnant woman's digestion is very slow, you get this "back up" and build up in your stomach that causes upset stomach. She said the hydrochloric acid will help with faster digestion but somehow already suffering from some heartburn, that doesn't make much sense to me. I'm already having to take tums for the heartburn because of the extra acid. I don't know how adding hydrochloric acid is going to help my case. 
  

  The good news is I believe the energy comes back around 16 weeks, at least for me it did and the constant nausea and vomiting becomes a bit more tolerable. It's still icky I know but hang in there. Let's hope it gets better for us soon.

  It's fun, huh? I've been on Zofran since week 9 and am still relying on it at least once a day. Something OTC that my OB recommended was to take a B6 vitamin with half a Unisom tablet. I never tried it because I didn't want to pay for the Unisom but it's another option if you're still waiting to see your doctor or not wanting a Rx. Good luck!
