Working during pregnancy

vvvirus · June 2022

I’m working as a server at a sea food place. I’m 6 weeks pregnant and 3 days ago I started vomiting everything I eat. I literally look at some food (especially fried food) and I need to throw up right away. My doctor recommended me ginger gum but it only helps to keep some foods/fluids down. My husband commented on what he was cooking and when he said “lamb” I immediately threw up. I’m terrified to work this week. Because it lasts all day long not only mornings. Any recommendations?

Some people find lemons/lemonade helpful, or mints. There's a product called preggie pops that some people swear by. Vitamin B6 (with or without unisom) can help, but you'll probably have to buy it online to get the small dose recommended for pregnant women (https://www.acog.org/womens-health/faqs/morning-sickness-nausea-and-vomiting-of-pregnancy#:~:text=Vitamin B6 is a safe,B6 and doxylamine is available.).

If you're vomiting multiple times a day and can't keep fluids down, talk to your doctor- at that point it's more than an inconvenience and becomes a health risk.
