Loss of appetite, nauseous..

[marycotter567]

Hi everyone. I am 6 weeks along and have started to feel nauseous and don't have much of an appetite. Even when I do get hungry though, I cant eat much because it makes me want to throw up. I am already underweight and a little worried... anyone know what helps?

I found that cutting fresh ginger root and putting it in a cup of water, either boiling or cold, really helped. Eating small amounts frequently helps a little too. I really hate the nausea. Mine isn't frequent but when I do get it it's fierce. I keep crackers, bananas, and tums next to my bed to help along with the water.
Rice, toast and other bland carb heavy foods helped me too!
Hope this helps Soon you'll feel better!!

I found that having a small snack every hour or two kept the nausea at bay. If you're becoming concerned about dehydration, I would call your provider and ask for an anti-nausea script.

None of the natural methods helped me. I had to be prescribed Diclegis for my morning sickness that became 24/7 nausea at only 5 weeks. Hopefully you can find something that helps. A lot of women try Sea Bands that you wear around both of your wrists, but even that didn't work for me. I suffer from HG though.
