I very recently found out that I am
pregnant, I am in my 11th week, my
question is I have been violently ill the
last 2 weeks or so, I cannot hold anything
down, including water, I was hospitalized
for dehydration for a week and kept on iv.
They have given me lots of suggestions as
to what to do but none of them seem to
work. I was curious if anyone else had
this problem and if so what did you do to
fix it? Also is this harmful to my baby?
Thanks

Check with your Dr. About trying some
ensure.
Their should be something the Dr. Can
give you! Check with the pharmacist
too, their might be something over the
counter you can use, some type of
anti-nausea while being pregnant. Can
you drink gatorade?
What about pedialite, check with your Dr.
Or pharmacist.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I do
hope you feel better soon!
Sincerely,
sandy

I personally can not tell you what to do,
but my co-worker is pregnant, and she was
so bad off that she had lost almost 20
lbs. She finally went to the Dr. And he
prescribe her phenagran (sorry about
spelling). That is what they give you
during surgery to help provent vomiting.
Maybe your Dr. Could do something for
you; he might not though, if you are not
losing an excessive amount of weight.
Just have to check it out. I am sorry
that you have had a rough time so far. I
hope you start feeling better soon. Good
luck!!! Take care of you and baby

Try eating plain crackers or ginger
biscuits, gingerbread, ginger cake or
ginger ale, or just about anything with
ginger in it.
Have lots of small meals, don't try to eat
a "full" meal.
Take frequent small sips of plain water,
or with a small amount of
juice/squash/cordial added, or with a
squeeze of lemon (doesn't matter if water
is chilled or warm - which ever you like
best).
Also see if you can lay your hands on some
preggie pops - the thought of the flavours
makesme wanna puke anyway but loads of
people buy them so they might be worth a
try.
If you do feel the need to puke, the best
thing is to relax as much as possible and
not try to fight it, go with it, I know
that sounds awful but it really is best,
then when it is done, rinse out your mouth
or brush your teeth (to feel more
comfortable) and take lots of small sips
of water, or maybe try an isotonic sport
drink as this will help repace los body
salts as well.

Regardless of whether you are going to
throw up or not, you need to keep up on
fluids, as you drink you absorb some.
Keep up on juices and water! Hope you
feel better! I was sick with my son when
I was about 6 mo, and I ate ice chips all
day, yeah I throw them up, but some still
got in.

I don't know for sure how harmful this may
or may not be to your baby, have you been
to your doctor, are you going for a follow
up visit since you've been to the
hospital? I think it depends on how bad
it is, how much you're keeping down, if
you've been able to gain any weight at
all...
There are meds that can help, but I think
they are doctor prescribed.
There are also those sea bands bracelets,
they go around your wrist and have a
plastic ball that presses a pressure point
that helps reduce nausea. I've never used
them myself but i've heard they work for
some people, you can usually get them in
pharmacies.
If you're not keeping anything down see a
doctor soon, it's important that you and
your baby both get enough nutrients,
especially now in early pregnancy when
everything is forming.

My step mom had the exact same thing! I
forget what she said it was called, but
she couldn't get a thing down. She ended
up in the hospital for dehydration and was
later given a medication you could take
durring pregnancy for such an illness. I
will get back to u when I find out more
about it, but ne way to make a long story
short, she ended up have a healthy
beautiful girl who is now two years old
and this jan. Got preg again. She still
has that prob. But they gave her meds as
soon as she began her pregnancy. Now she
is due on tues. Yay! So good luck and I
will get back to u with that info!
