 Starting to "feel" pregnant.... 
Yesterday I felt off, a little lightheaded and dizzy, plus I felt nauseous on and off all day.  Last night I started dry heaving, but nothing was coming up (sorry if TMI).  Today, I feel alittle better but I am trying to eat lunch and the thought of eating makes me sick.  And it's linguini w/broccoli, garlic, and oil something I ususally love!!!!    DH tells me there is a reason women have babies, and not men, b/c they couldnt handle it.  Geez...I hope I can.

 Re: Starting to "feel" pregnant.... 
  take it easy, eat what you can.  For 10 weeks I lived on nothing but plain carbs.  Drink liquids in this heat though, that's important.  
  Your husband sounds like he is going to be very supportive, that is a great thing.  I could not cook or grocery shop.

 Re: Starting to "feel" pregnant.... 
All i can offer are        How many weeks are you?  I absolutely hated MS and dont know if I could go through it again. Some things that should work, could work, are supposed to work are... Mostly carbs peppermints sea band wrist bracelets (didnt work 4 me) lots of rest

 Re: Starting to "feel" pregnant.... 
I totally know what you are going through.  I had the dry heaves as well.  I drank a lot of selter and that helped a lot.  Any foods that gave an after taste like garlic and onions I couldn't eat.  Hang in there it will pass!

 Re: Starting to "feel" pregnant.... 
also, you maybe giving up soda, or cutting back...in the mornings, gingerale was the best thing for my commute.  
  I hope you don't get to this point, but I found vomiting with no liquids in my stomach was the worst.  Liquids made it so much easier and quicker to throw up at work.

 Re: Starting to "feel" pregnant.... 
You know I am a GARLIC LOVER and I was very lucky that I never had m/s, but I have to say - garlic doesn't have the same appeal anymore.  It doesn't make me sick, but I just don't LOVE it like I used to.  
  I bet DH is very grateful that  
  Feel better

  DH is right!!  Don't worry, you'll be just fine.  I know the first few weeks are tough, but you will get through it!!  Just hang on   .  By the time you get to 12 or 13 weeks it should start getting better.  I found eating pretzels and drinking ginger ale or watered down OJ helped the nausea.  Just remember to eat slowly, and grazing all day instead of 3 meals also helps.  Try to always keep food in your stomach.  Feel better!!!

 Re: Starting to "feel" pregnant.... 
                           I had the nausousness every morning, then to top it off got hit with a 4 day stomach virus and people getting on my back about eating and I didnt even want to look at food. I did make sure I stayed hydrated lots of water, some gatorade, gingerale. I would eat a bagel or saltines. It will get better. I am 14 weeks now and I do promise, it gets better.
