Hello everyone i am 7 weeks an 2 days i can't eat i am throwing up often feeling sick any suggestions?

Not sure what you’ve tried already so apologies if I am duplicating anything.

Eat and drink little and often. Lots of people talk about having crackers first thing- some people have kept them at their bedside. I used to have a bite of an apple. I ate a lot of carbs- it was the food I could bear the most. I drank ginger ale too (it was very hot during my first trimester but you could try fresh ginger in boiling water).

If you can’t stomach anything, it is worth seeing your GP as there are medications to help with sickness and it’s important to keep well hydrated and nourished. Hopefully it will get better for you xxx

I had ginger tea it didn't help,food as i start eating my stomach get upset i tried crackers n no difference as am done eating my mouth starts to taste bad i don't kno i tried gravol it didn't help,😒

Got up this morning am vomiting right now i feel sick, how long does it last?

[Hidden in reply to itzvanilla]

Oh poor you Lots of people only have it for the first trimester (up to 12 weeks) but some people are unlucky and have it longer. There are other medications out there so do try other ones out. Keep taking your vitamins (although I know the iron in the supplement can make people feel sick so important to take after food).

Would sucking sweets/mint help? Xxx

I tried but as the taste wears out back to feeling bad i hope it ends soon not a good feeling at all😒

Fruit is what got me through the first trimester. Refreshing things like watermelon, grapes, raspberries, apple juice. Fizzy drinks too. Though not quite as healthy for the baby.

I believe the sickness is meant to peak at 10 weeks, but then it settles (though not for everyone!), I think due to your hormones settling a bit. Hopefully it'll be the same for you.

Good luck with the pregnancy

Great advice above.....Ginger ale and sweets from Holland & Barrett and also try a can of Coke I was so sick for 12 weeks couldn’t stomach anything. Went to the GP and got sickness tablets they helped. Try dry toast and as mentioned carbs do help.

[itzvanilla in reply to Elibee48]

Ok will do

I must be the unlucky one who still has this at 22 weeks lol. I have sickness tablets to help me as lost a lot of weight but try not to take as often as i should. I found cookies and melon have helped and plenty of bottles ice cold water. Hope you feel better soon x

I've still got chronic sickness at 36 weeks so you aren't alone. Xx

[lcheckley in reply to Kate91]

Thank God It's not just me. Lol x

[Kate91 in reply to lcheckley]

Nope had same with last pregnanancy too. My hormones run really high when pregnant so causes lots of problems. I projectile vomit with or without meds and sometimes rupture my throat or stomach lining.

[lcheckley in reply to Kate91]

Oh my! I thought I had it bad. I feel for you there is nothing worse but at least it will be over soon with the best present at the end x

Can't wait hun☺

[itzvanilla in reply to lcheckley]

22 weeks😦 i hate the feeling hun i hate vomiting i went hospital last night n got drip stayed the night over

[lcheckley in reply to itzvanilla]

Oh it's the worst isn't it. I was on a drip for 2 days as I was so dehydrated and lost 10kg in 3 weeks. Iv never been so sick in my life. It's not as bad now but if i don't take a sickness tablet in the morning I'm projectile vomiting for days. Hope you feel better soon x

[itzvanilla in reply to lcheckley]

Hope so too hun couldn't eat for 6 hours but i got some pills to buy n so gonna get them soon am tired my hand hurts

[destiny121]

To be honest there’s no magical cure... you just have to ride the storm. I couldnt eat... threw up everything I ate to the point my throat was so sore... I would say drink lots of water... and try to eat whatever you can... xx

Ok hun thanks much i never had any of these with my first child
