how are you suppsed to eat right... when you are so sick?

i think i'm started to get dehydrated... i only get sick in the am but i dont eat too much the rest of the day because i am soooo nauscious all the time... and what i can get into my mouth isnt that nutritous.. and i havent been able to swallow my vitamins this past week so i have took them in 1 week... so i am sooo worried about that too... i still have seen my obgyn yet either... i dont go for another 2 weeks.. i will be 9 weeks then.. i feel i would have benefited seeing these past weeks thats i've been sooo sick...

i really feel like i'm dying..... i could cry i am so sick all the time... weak too... no matter what i eat... i feel this is being harmful to the baby.. but i dont know what else to do...

Honestly, I think for now just eat what you can eat. Even something that's not that good for you is better than nothing. What about soup? Chat Icon

You should get into your ob sooner than 2 weeks. call them and tell them you are really sick, they will get youin earlier. I am in the same boat, this is the second time for me. I am now a high risk pregnancy and on various medications and steroids at the moment. I am still sick, but praying it will pass around the 20 week mark like it did the first time for me. I eat a BRAT diet per my doctors. It's rice, toast, banana's and applesauce. also edememe (soy products). Drinking is very difficult for me as well. If you are not getting enough food or water in you may have to get fluids from an IV which I had several times thus far and i'm only 8 weeks.

Good luck and Ihope it passes soon!

I am in the same boat as you. I am sick all the time. I cannot keep down anything I eat, but so far I don't think I have lost any weight. I don't go to see my doctor unil the 18th and I will be in my 8th week. RIght now I am trying to keep down some gatorade, keep your fingers crossed.

Hope you start feeling better soon. Chat Icon

I didnt believe my dr when he told me the baby gets what it needs in the first trimester when you are sick but I am 7 months now ...so I am living proof that you will make it through this even if you dont think so. You would think by now they could control MS. I took zofran 3xs a day and was still ill.

Chat Icon I lived on carbs and pudding. I drank gatorade and gingerale. A veggie did not enter my body for weeks. I lost weight in my first trimester, but I made up for lost time quick.

I went through the same thing for about 3 weeks. It was horrible, I thought I was dying too. I was weak and light headed b/c I wasnt eating or drinking that much. I couldnt even brush my teeth without gagging and throwing up. Drink vitamin water if you can, and I ate yogurt, chocolate pudding, anything not really heavy and I kept it down.

Don't worry about eating nutricious foods. Just make sure to keep hydrated and eat whatever you can keep down. Usually carbs are your best bet.

Just remember to keep yourself hydrated. You will more than make up for the lack of food later on in your pregnancy. Eat what you can.

Re: how are you suppsed to eat right... when you are so sick?

everyone gave you great advice.. I know how awful M/S is , as do many of us, and I promise you it will get better eventually! eat whatever you can stomach (even if its not healthy) and stay hydrated -- that is the only advice to give you

Feel better! Chat IconChat Icon
