Vomiting at 12 weeks ?

Hello,
Welcome to the ehealthforum and I am glad to help you out.

I can understand the pain and agony that your wife is going through. In majority, the symptoms go away by the middle of the 2nd trimester.

The dietary changes need to be done and are really helpful. Ask her to eat small amounts of food frequently so that she’s never too hungry or too full. Avoid spicy and fatty foods.

It’s good to try eating simple carbohydrates, such as unbuttered toast, plain baked potatoes, white rice, gelatin desserts, herbal or decaffeinated tea with sugar, or non-diet ginger ale.

Combining these simple carbohydrates with a serving of protein (e.g. egg white), especially right before bed helps in minimizing swings in blood sugar that may contribute to nausea.

Ask her to drink liquids between meals and not during meals to minimize nausea and vomiting. She should keep biscuits at the bedside table to help with nausea in the morning.

Pyridoxine (vitamin B-6) supplements help reduce nausea and vomiting. The suggested dose is 25-50 mg every eight hours.

The drugs like ondansteron, phenergan or metoclopramide are used for the vomiting but these are usually taken after the prescription from a physician. I sincerely hope this information helps. Take care.
