Cant eat ! HELP

[Jess&Jay]

Passed three days, I have lost weight dramatically. I can't have any foods touch my tongue, I feel the nausea stronger than ever. If I can't eat, what do I do?! I thought it was just a certain food I had so I stayed away from it. But now I cant even eat a nice hot sandwich. two bites and I want to vomit.

Help

Go to your doctor and they should be able to give you sickness medication. Can you drink water?

Awww hope you feel better I just got my first breeze of nausea this morning! & i'm so hungry but nothing appeals to me, I've been forcing myself to eat today

 

[Jess&Jay]

Yes, water is all I drink. I take my prenatals and folic acid everyday. At least I can keep those down. I try to eat first before I take my pills.There pill that wont make you feel sick anymore? oh gosh. I need those asap. haha. This morning I didnt know what to make because everything was "ew" to me. so i toasted a bagel and threw some ham & cheese on the skillet to put in my bagel. two bites and i wanted to vomit! so i forced myself to eat more. and iit has stayed down but i feel like it will come up soon.

you NEEED to call your doctor. There are several different medications you can take for nausea and vomiting, especially excessive vomiting, when you are pregnant. Zofran, Phennogrin (sp?) and a few others are considered "safe" during pregnancy.]
If you are dehydrated, ask them to check your urine to see if you are, and get an IV. Usually they can give you an IV to help rehydrate you and to start you on the anti nausea meds, so by the time you leave your doctor you should be able to pee normally and to eat, at least a little bit.

I find the only way to keep the sickness at a minimum is to eat little and often and even then the constant nausea and tiredness is still there. If you are having problems keeping anything down you really do need to go and see the doc. It is hard but chin up chick it doesn't last forever and it will be well worth it in the end. x

Defo go to your doctor and get antisickness pills!! You may have to try a few to find one that suits you but they make the world of difference

Until then, try gatorade, flat soda etc to get some sugar in. You will feel 100x worse on an empty stomach, even if you are being sick try and keep eating, being sick on an empty stomach is not fun!

Try, oatmeal, toast, nice bland things. Maybe some ginger. I find peppermint tea great too. Hope some of this helps

I second what everyone's saying. Get some antisickness pills as soon as possible!

Ginger tea and peppermint tea work great for sickness, as well as raw honey, which has natural enzymes to fight off any bad bacteria you may have in your belly. Nibble on some toast - plain! - and cornflakes, oatmeal, Gatorade, ginger ale... preferably sipped through a straw.

It may make you sick but just eating something you'll get the nutrients from it.
Also stick to the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce and toast). You want to go for bland but nutrient rich. If you can do whole wheat rice/toast and applesauce with no sugar added.
If it keeps up, go to your doctor.

I have been suffering from hyperemesis and at times can't keep anything down. I don't like it but one of the things that does seem to help a little is fresh ginger in hot water. Other than that, REST! You will feel worse the more tired you get. When my HG really goes mad I crawl into bed and stay there.

It's not pleasant and it's not easy - sending you a big (((hug))) and hope you feel less grotty soon.

my prenatal vitamins have ginger which my doctor told me is good for preventing nausea

She also mentioned ginger ale works wonders.. I have not gotten nauseous at all, i wonder if it's because of my vitamins.

Feel better soon~~

the anti sickness pillls wont stop you feeling sick, it can help you to stop physically being sick. Im on them now and i still cant eat im managing on fluids only. Im still urging often.
