Nauseous all day - can't stop snacking!

brittanyandseth · August 2014

I get so nauseous throughout the day and the only thing that really seems to help are lots of carbs (mostly pretzels) all day. I can't keep eating like this!!! The Preggie Pops have helped slight but doesn't fully do the trick. Any suggestions?!? BTW I'm expecting twins!!! Yay!

I agree. I've been really sick for the past three weeks. No vomiting, but it's almost unbearable, and I'm so blah that there are days when I can barely eat anything. Sometimes I'm in tears, alone of course, or I just sleep. I find after a nap everyone's in a whole my belly feels just good enough to eat a small light meal.

I find constant snacking is the only way to make it through my day without feeling like death everyday.
If pretzels help you get through your day I say go with it until you feel better and can eat better

I'm here w you ... Nauseous all the damn time ... Shoving food in my mouth is the only thing that helps ... I'm also expecting twins ( dbl the hormones ... Ugh)

Edit: no advise really .. I would say do whatever it takes to get through the day !!

Do what works, sounds like constant snacking is working! So keep doing it. It won't last forever

I'm with you. Right now, I'm going with whatever works. I can't force foods or I'm running for the Porcelain God.

9 weeks has hit me like a ton of bricks.

Whatever works, stick with it.

It's 2:30 am and I woke up dry heaving so I did what helps and had a bowl of Cheerios!

Only way to survive. Keep doing it.

Eat whatever it takes. I've been living on lemonade, ruffles, corned beef hash, bagels and McDonalds for 8 weeks. My belly is bigger than necessary but it kept me just a little more comfortable. At 13 weeks I can finally drink a cup of water and eat some fruit without crying.

I am 9 weeks and feel the same way. It seems to be getting worse. I don't throw up just so nauseated it makes it hard to do anything. Carbs are the only thing that seems to help. My work is starting to get upset because I keep calling in but it is hard just to get up and going. I have been in two different nausea meds and they don't seem to work. Any suggestions other then carbs?

I heard water melon helps!! Already called dh to bring some home to try it out tomorrow

Are you using the regular preggie pop drops or the Plus ones? The Plus one worked the best for me.

I would also alternate snacking on crackers/pretzels with unsalted roasted nuts, cucumbers and greek yogurt ranch as well as pretzels and hummus that way I was also getting some protein in with my snacks.

Sorry you're so nauseous, hope it calms down soon!

jpavenski · August 2014

I am the same exact way! Feel like I need to eat small amounts every two hours to get through the day. I got the preggo pop drops, I think they do help a little.

My whole 10th week was hell.

11 week this Monday and to "celebrate" I pretty much had 'hospital' food:
Toast with honey - throw up
Jello - throw up
Berry juice diluted with water - throw up
Water - throw up.

It's hopeless. I gotten to a point I rather starve and feel nauseous and then dry heave instead of throwing up every half hour. Good thing I had a dr appt the next day.

So at appt, I weighed in 14lbs lighter than 1.5 months ago. She upped my meds from Diclectin to Zofran.

I only threw up once since then and able to keep food and fluids down. But even though i don't throw up or feel nauseous, I still the discomfort, and knowing the wave is hitting me, throughout the day.

When will this end???????

dmiranda4 · August 2014

oatmeal has been the only thing i can keep down for weeks now! ginger tea seems to be helping somewhat as well. good luck! midwife says morning sickness should let up soon!

ccsojourner · August 2014

Watermelon and sipping lemonade helped me a lot. I made some lemonade into popcicle, which also helped. Along with lots and lots of carbs. (I ate a lot of pasta with a little butter and Parmesan cheese.)

I'm 13wk4d and am finally starting to feel like myself again. Hopefully there's a light at the end of the tunnel for you all!

My doc prescribed diclegis. Been taking it for two days and I can eat so much better now. Their website has an awesome deal good til the end of the year. But u do need a prescription. I have a high deductible medical plan, so I'm paying out of pocket for now. Worth every penny tho!

jstobs · September 2014

I'm the same and carbs definitely help. My doctor said eat whatever you can keep down while nauseous. It should ease up in the second trimester. I feel you though. Hope that helps!

skatergrl · September 2014

I'm 13 weeks today and know exactly how you feel. I haven't thrown up at all but I have been nauseous constantly and carbs are the only thing helping. I weighed myself yesterday and so far in this pregnancy I've gained 4 pounds. I know that's totally within the normal range but I was still hoping to keep it more at bay for a little bit longer but you have to do whatever you can do so the carbs will keep on coming I guess.

Small meals or snacks during the day work best for me. I try to add some protien or cheese with my carb choices. I also do a lot of fruit & veggies. Thinking of eating a full meal sometimes makes me feel sick so I stick with what I know works. I do find that if I don't eat enough protien during the day I feel sicker at night & If I don't eat something that sticks with me thru the night the next day starts out bad.
