Back on this board!
Hi all! I'm back with DC#2! (If you know me IRL, shhhhh! Nothing on FB--it's super early).
I'm about 7 weeks. Haven't been to the doctor yet (had a beta at 4 wks) but MS is in full swing. I had it bad with DD1 for 17 weeks  and so far, it's just about the same. The nausea started on and off almost immediately this time and last week, I started throwing a couple of times a day up and haven't stopped. Oy!
Other than that, I'm very excited to be here. My EDD might even be the same as it was with DD. I conceived the same week. She'll be turning 3 as this baby arrives. My first appt isn't until 5/28.
Now for a question: Any advice on how to drink more water when it's making me sick? I know I'm not drinking enough, especially given that I'm puking. But I swear it makes me feel worse.

Drink whatever you can if you are throwing up. If water is t doing it then juice soda Gatorade whatever.
Congrats.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well.
I've had the same issue with water - even though I haven't thrown up - it makes me feel really sick. I haven't had a straight swig of water for weeks! Basically I'm drinking mostly lemonade but occasionally iced tea and juice and mixing it in. I've been having regular Coke almost daily too because it's one of the very few beverages that doesn't bother me. Even my tried and true staple for nausea - ginger ale - does nothing for me right now.

CONGRATS!!!!
I'm SO sorry you feel so terrible! I had hyperemesis and was put on a zofran pump so I understand what you are going through. Water was THE WORST for me. It made me SO SICK. When they put me on the pump I also got a nutritionist that called me to help me with some tips on getting the liquids that I needed. She told me to try and mix water with something else, juice, gatorade, anything that would make it have a little flavor and take away the "waterness" of the drink. She also said that some girls find it that if they take Capri Sun or juice boxes and put them in the freezer and eat them as ices it helped. This worked WONDERS for me!!! I was so happy to finally start to feel like I was getting the baby what he needed. She also said like a PP said, try to drink as much as you can. I found the colder the drink the better and room temp drinks made me feel worse.
Good luck and I hope some of our advice helps you!

Re: Back on this board!
Thanks all!!!
And thanks for the advice. I did drink the flavored smart waters last time (basically gatorade) and I think that helped. I'll try that. Last night I was craving watermelon, probably because I'm dehydrated. But I know water-rich fruits can count toward water intake, so I'll keep snacking on that as I can.
