nausea

I'm 7 weeks and every evening I get so nauseous (around 5pm) and it doesn't go away all night until I just go to bed. I try to eat but it sometimes feels like a chore. I just wish I could actually throw up instead of this queasy feeling all night, it makes me really unmotivated and I cant get anything done, and not to mention the exhaustion.
I drink lots of ginger ale..any other recommendations?

Re: nausea

Crackers help too, Try not to let ur tummy get empty thats usually when it gets worse.

Re: nausea

I'm almost 7 weeks and can't seem to keep anything except for crackers down all day. It has definitely gotten worse in the past few days. My guaranteed stay down foods are not working out so well. I eat and then my body has another idea for the food.
Then at about 5ish I can keep more food down.

I suck on little pieces of candied ginger and that helps a little. Way more potent then ginger ale. I have ginger and crackers in all of the key places in my life, work, car and house.

I have also found that not drinking a lot while eating helps a little too.
Good luck

Re: nausea

i agree with the try not to drink when you eat.. seltzer water helps me, and honestly, i just eat light.. like a piece of toast, some fruit, hummus, bran cereal, CRACKERS i can't do big meals, but i will get heartburn and nausea and stuff has come up..

feel better.. its not fun.. but i have heard it gets a lot better..

Re: nausea

hang in there. i suffered miserably for almost 3 weeks and then around 8.5w it suddenly disappeared and i feel human again!

things that helped me:
ginger snaps
apple juice
ritz crackers
cheddar cheese
cereal (bran flakes)
apple slices
bagels with peanut butter

Re: nausea

You have to eat something. Having an empty stomach just makes it so much worse. Force yourself to eat a little something...it should make you feel better!

Re: nausea

my mom said she used to carry around candies with her... it didnt help to actually eat anything for her... just to suck on something... my dr gave me a lolipop for m/s... i havent had to use it tho

Re: nausea

ive been nauseaus for the last hour. just had some saltines and applesauce. im feeling better now.

Re: nausea

All I could eat then was carbs carbs carbs. Just eat whatever sounds good to you. I did a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches and mashed potatoes.

I got preggie pops and drops from the maternity clothing store and those helped me a lot at the beginning of my nausea. I started throwing up at 9 1/2 weeks and stopped the day I turned 14 weeks. But I'd throw up first thing in the morning (crackers before I got out of bed only made it worse) and then I'd actually be ok the rest of the day. I remember wanting to know if throwing up would make it better, but I was glad I didn't force myself to. When it becomes inevitable, it'll just happen. Not really fun, but the end result is worth it of course.

Re: nausea

i have the same thing- at night! except eating bread and stuff actually makes me feel better. I wish the nausea would actually help curb my appetite!

Re: nausea

I got these chewy ginger candies from Jandi's in Oceanside (a health food store)

I think they sell them online too somewhere.

Re: nausea

Ugh, so sorry you're feeling sick. Here's what helped for me (although eventually I got a prescription for Zofran)

Sipping ginger ale
Never letting me stomach get empty
pasta
bagels
eating in the middle of the night
eating before i got out of bed
watermelon
ice pops (these helped ALOT)
sea bands
dry cereal

Feel better!

Re: nausea

Best thing I can recommend is what some others have already said- try not to let your stomach get empty. I used to try to eat little meals and then constantly snack throughout the day. I always kept crackers, granola bars, pretzels, etc. stocked up at work and in my car. I'd eat things like fruit and carrot sticks, anything to nosh on.
