  The most important thing right now is to stay hydrated. You really don’t want to be dehydrated, so drink as much as possible. Take small sips so as not to overwhelm your stomach. Water can sometimes hurt an empty stomach, so try ginger ale with the bubbles stirred out (carbonation can also hurt your stomach), powerade or gatorade, or juice, if you can manage it.

  Other things that might work for you are popsicles or ices, and fruit–a lot of miserably pregnant women find that they CAN eat fruit, so try out different kinds if that appeals at all. For me, I found that I could eat (at different times) strawberries, grapefruit, and thinly sliced golden delicious apples. It was weirdly specific, but it kept me alive!

  You should try having very small "meals"–a bite of a cracker here and there when you can stomach it. A lot of people find that keeping crackers or something light next to their bed and taking a few bites before they even get out of bed in the morning. You will feel worse if your stomach is empty, so keeping food in it–even just a little bit–will help stave off the misery.

  You might also want to try adding peanut butter to your crackers. Peanut butter has protein, which will make you feel better if you can keep it down.

  If nothing else works, ask your doctor for medication like reglan or zofran to help. If you’re really feeling horrible and can’t keep anything down, your doctor may be willing to see you earlier.

  Good luck!

  So sorry you are going through all that. I didn’t have morning sickness as bad as you but I usually tried drinking a ton of water, I kept crackers by my bed and would eat two crackers and drink some water in the morning before even trying to get out of bed. Don’t feel guilty, it’s not your fault. Your doctor will continue to help you.

  I had the same problem! I actually lost weight the first few months, I was 125 when I conceived, and about 2 months in I was down to 115 because I couldn’t keep anything down! What worked for me was to eat a few ritz crackers before I even got out of bed in the morning with my nausea medicine, and I never let myself get too hungry, it seemed like as soon as I started to feel hungry I was in a bathroom throwing up. I just took my crackers everywhere with me and snacked on them all day, and it seemed to help me! I couldnt eat any kind of fast food either, the grease made my stomach super upset!

  i’m going through the same thing except i’m only nine weeks, preggie pop drops help, green jolly ranchers help, taking my prenatals at night right before bed with a yogurt, and tropical tootsie pops.i’ve been hospitalized for dehydration, i’ve found gatorade is easy to keep down especially the clear ones, as well as grape propel and i’ve actually lost about ten pounds, but i’m already plus size. i’m on zofran and phenegrin, neither of which help. haha. i eat what i can when i can, it’s hard to eat, makes me want to puke. i’ve only heard it gets better, and i keep thinking about the beautiful baby i’m gonna have, and that helps, me and my husband tried for months to get pregnant when we finally took the test and it came out positive i was ecstatic, oh i forgot to mention capri sun and juicy juice help me as well.
