Morning Sickness and your DH/SO.

So, I've had some pretty rough m/s with this pregnancy this past week. I know it can still get worse, I will deal with it when the time comes. My question is have you had to explain to your SO/DH at all that the most important thing right now is keeping fluids down? DH is worried that I'm not keeping enough calories in each day for me or the baby. And I understand why hes worried, I'm just not really sure how to reassure him that this is normal when you are sick all day long and fluids are my saving grace right now. Food is good, but if its not staying down, as long as I'm drinking I feel like I'm doing ok.

Any ideas on how to explain this better?

    Tell him your doctor said (as long as he/she did, as mine did) that not keeping food down is ok. The baby will get what it needs from mom's body stores, that keeping fluids down is important because dehydration is the key risk.

    Now if you do lose a certain percentage of your body weight and become malnourished they will hospitalize you. Trust me. I know.

    I haven't actually seen my DR yet. I had a second u/s yesterday but we didn't see the DR afterwards. My first appt is next week. Hes been on Dr. Google and it says essentially what you are saying. I'll just reiterate it I guess.

    Thanks!

    Agree with what others have said.  Baby gets their nutrients from you right now, not really what you eat.  As long as you aren't malnourished and can keep liquids down to stay hydrated, you should be fine.

    My DH has been acting like this lately, but with nutrient rich foods. All I seem to keep down are foods with cheese in the name (grilled cheese, broccoli cheese soup) and he's starting to get a little nervous that the baby isn't getting proper nutrition. I'm trying to explain to him that those gummie prenatals I take on days I can't keep the regular horse pills down are juuuust fine right now.
