WHOAH this is the hardest thing I have ever done! I was recently in the ER as I hadn't been able to eat or drink anything for 6 days and was SEVERLY dehydrated. I felt like such a failure by not being able to handle it. I guess I am hard headed but any advice on help with eating and drinking water? The ER gave me ant nausea medication but I don't want to have to take it every day!!!

Due May 10th!

    If you are that sick, why would you put yourself and baby at risk? Take the medicine.

    No advice here, but if the med will help you to stay hydrated and keep food down, it sounds like that's the best thing for you and baby. I hope you feel better soon.

    My nausea is increasing everyday. I have yet to throw up, but nearly lost it yesterday morning in the grocery store. I hate throwing up, so I am dreading it getting worse in the weeks ahead as I am only reaching week 5. I have been diligent about eating something before I get hungry. I also find drinking milk before bed, and any time I start to feel sick helps. I don't drink a ton, just a little, except when I go to bed when I drink a whole glass. I also carry crackers with me and my water bottle is filled with either peppermint or ginger tea at all times. I teach, so I have a stash of bananas, crackers, and almonds in my desk to munch on when I get dizzy or nauseated theoughout the day. I also aim to max out my protein consumption during the day. Good luck!

    Thanks for the advice ladies. I am scared thats for sure. Its all so new to me. I have been taking the medication and its been helping a lot, I am not throwing up nearly as much as I was. Still very hard to eat much of anything so far its mac and cheese and popcorn. I am usually a very healthy eater so it drives me a little crazy but I am taking a veggie and fruit supplament so I am hoping it helps get some nutrients to the baby. I see the OB on October 6th for the first time! I am so excited to see the little peanut! Thanks for the advice!
    Due May 10th!
