Throwing up after eating

Johnsonbmj · August 2013

Does anyone else feel sick to their stomachs or throw up after they eat? I get incredibly nauseous when I'm hungry and then feel sick after I eat too. I've thrown up about 5 different within 10 minutes of eating, and when I don't throw up I have to lay down for a while until it passes. I'm not eating very big meals either. Are there any tips? It's making me scared to eat. Maybe I should take a bite and wait a few minutes before taking another? I just don't know. I'm 14w5d and so frustrated that I'm still getting sick. I'm ready to start enjoying this pregnancy!!!!!! >:(

My nausea went away a few days into 15 weeks. When it got bad, I asked my doc for zofran which did help, but made me sleepy. Try bland foods, like toast, and see if that works. I know it sucks but hang in there! It can't last forever!

That sounds awful. I had days where I threw up everything I ate. I have a couple pieces of advice that might help:

1: Try eating bland foods (applesauce, yogurt, pears, bread, crackers were my go tos when I wasn't sure what would stay down)

2: I think you are on the right track with eating slowly. I think it's better to graze and never get hungry because like you said, being hungry makes you feel yucky.

3: If you're not keeping anything down for a couple of days you should give your doctor a call and see if they'll prescribe you something. I held off doing that for too long because i was trying to be tough and it was a poor choice. As soon as I started taking Phenergan it was like rainbows and puppies I felt so much better and was able to function.

Hope you find relief soon!

Thanks for the advice! Ill try snacking on bland foods throughout the day hopefully that'll help. At my last appointment my doctor offered to prescribe me something for the nausea but I thought it was getting better so I said no... Wish I could go back in time and say heck yes!
