Can't keep down water?

in 1st Trimester
I've had horrible m/s for the past week. I throw up about 5 times a day (mostly in the morning and after 8 pm).

I've noticed that whenever I drink water, I throw up immediately (and a lot). I can drink other fluids (powerade, sprint, juice, etc), but can't keep water down for some reason. I even tested ice chips, and sure enough, started throwing up.

Anyone else not able to stomach water?

    Water does make me feel a lot more nausea than other drinks but not as bad as you. I hope you get better soon!

    Ask your doctor for zofran. I'm lurking from the 2nd trimester, but I'm 20 weeks and still have to take zofran every day or else I throw up. Try small frequent sips and nothing too too cold. Maybe add a lemon or a splash of cranberry juice. Good luck!

    I stopped drinking water a couple of weeks ago.  I used to drink tons of water, pre PG, but now can't stand the thought of it.

    I had to have an iv for my first pregnancy. I had something called hyperemesis gravidarum. You should definitely call your care provider to get a prescription that can help. Also if Gatorade didn't make you throw up then by all means drink that instead. It is really important to stay hydrated.

    I've noticed that I can't drink plain water lately... it's almost like it makes me gag.  Forget about it when I am trying to take my prenatals!  I've been putting lime juice or lemon juice in my water and that helps soooo much.

    I'm in the same boat. I can't keep water down, even with zofran. It comes up within a minute or so. :( I hope you feel better soon.

    Are you drinking tap or filtered? We have a brita filter and that was the only water I could drink for a while. Tap would make me vom. Also, try adding lemon juice or a little lemonade to the water. It might help you keep it down.

    Im glad I'm not alone!

    I drink filtered water. I don't know why it treats me so bad, before m/s kicked in I drank about 12 glasses a day!

    I'll stick to other beverages for now. Hopefully lemonade and Gatorade can sustain me!

    Yes.. That still happens to me occasionally, I'm 14 1/2 weeks now and while the sickness has gotten better, I still have some bad days where I need zofran. Even now, water just makes my stomach turn on some day, especially if I drink it quickly. I don't know why! But at least you can drink other things, just make sure you drink plenty of whatever it is you can handle! Lately juice has made me throw up and things like Gatorade give me terrible stomach cramps. I can always handle carbonated drinks though. Most days, I just have to slowly sip water all day and deal with it!
