Q: Morning Sickness

so i've read the comments that most of you have posted when i was talking about my ultrasound results, and no people i am not lying about being pregnant. the doctor that did the ultra sound said its early in my pregnancy, but everything is going well, i dont have a family doctor which is WHY i have gone to only TWO doctors, i am on a waiting list for a family doctor. and yes i took a hpt on the 10th of dec. and it was positive, i even took one the day after that one and it was positve too. im 5 weeks pregnant now, and the answer that i got from the doc. that did my ultrasound was: you dont concieve while on your period, but doctors go by when you had your last period and then tell you how far along you are. But an ultrasound tells you exactally how far along you are.

Anyways, i had the flu on dec.25th which sucked, and it lasted for three days but now its all gone. But now morning sickness has kicked in, anytime i have milk products i get nauseus and throw up, does anyone have any tips on what helped them with morning sickness?

I just didn't eat in the morning. For the first 3 months of my pregnancies, I had almost no appetite.

Try hard cheeses, hard boiled eggs, and bland carbs (like potatoes cooked in butter, or saltine crackers).

I can't have milk products even now (36 weeks) You could with the milk product just grown a temp. allergy like we think I have during pregnancy.

i still dont know what foods are better for me to eat right now, most things i eat come right back up, like [u]some[u/] fruits, cheese, yogurt, plain bread, chicken noodle soup, some pastas...
today was a pretty good day, i only had sickness in the morning and i kept down spaghetti, peanut butter and jelly a small fruit cup and some lasanga, which is way better than this last week!

often when you are pregnant your taste buds will drastically change. good luck with that!

Every morning I grated some fresh ginger and poured hot water over it. It seemed to help a bit.

Since milks kinda hard right now, make sure you're taking you're vitamin and getting lots of calcium.

I also found that baby cookies were really easy on my stomach too. Mmmmm and Popsicles and ice cream. It helped kinda numb my nausea : )

I also found that fresh air works wonders, and colder air as well. Good luck!

Man, I looked everywhere for Preggie-pops! I saw them on the internet and wanted to find them so I looked in the pharmacy, Walmart, Zellers, even a specialty supplement store, and nada!

Do we even have those in Canada?

I was going to buy them on-line but deliver was gonna be forever and I figured I'd be better by then, lol.

You can't get pregnant when you are having your period because there is no egg. What happens, I guess, is that people are having unprotected sex at the very. very end of their periods and the sperm are living long enough to fertilize the egg that comes early, after the period.

So what krystineM said is true, you cannot CONCEIVE during your period.

In other words, the first day you are late on your period, you are approximately 2 weeks pregnant.

What bugs me about that is that you technically are only two weeks...but when you get a positive, your doc says four weeks, counting from your LMP. Makes no sense! I really think that's why so many chicks go overdue.

i agree though it is stupid (im just playing with the above, its true but i know what you mean), i dont get why they cant just tell you from early ultrasounds...although those arent completly accurate

When did they schedule your follow up ultrasound? Next week?

I think the reason they can't tell from an early ultrasound is because there is basically a bubble there for 4wks or something... Just don't quote me on it, I'm not a doctor.
