question for any other sickness sufferers?

[emme]

hey everyone,

i'm pretty much surviving on crackers and toast at the moment as am suffering with the sickness, i'm worried though that i'm not giving baby enough nutrients, the thought of fruit and veg isnt appealing all i can hack is bland food! will the baby be ok??

thanks xxxxx

I'm not sure on this one hun but didn't want to read and run...

My sister has just passed her MS phase and she said she lost about 3/4 stone because she just couldn't keep anything down. Have you tried fruit juices if you don't fancy eating fruit? That may help. x

I don't think you will do much harm I mean I know lots of people who could hardly eat during pregnancy due to sickness and their baby's turned out nice and healthy! Just try to get in the nutrients when you can handle them. Or how about some vitamin tablets to get them until you feel up to eating more?

i started feeling abit funny last week friday, the actual sickness didn't start till yesterday morning, when i was 7wks 4 days. i felt realy sick when i woke up, was sick a few times at about 9 am then felt alot better afterwards just felt abit fragile. i felt abit sick last night too but managed to sleep all night. then from about 9 am i felt sick today until 12 when i was sick again, now i feel abit better again. i know nobody likes being sick but i've had a phobia about it since i was young, so i've spent the last two days in tears all the time wondering how long its gonna last! i pray you dont get it, i wouldnt wish it on anyone!!! xxx

Your baby should be fine. I have hyperemesis and i'm almost 13 weeks now. My baby at the scan was being a fidget pants and wouldn't stop moving. ( i was so worried baby wouldn't survive because of lack of nutrients) Just eat what you can when you can

Hey honey, the main thing is that you are keeping fluids down. If you are then baby will be just fine. I have lost 19lbs so far in this pregnancy due to my sickness, hardly eating at all even though i am on meds from doc to stop sickness. I have been assured that so long as you are taking folic acid and keeping down liquids baby will get all they need from you. Sorry you're feeling so rubbish xxxx

wow 19pounds already! bless you you have it alot worse than me it kinda puts it into perspective, makes me feel rediculous for spending the morning crying feeling sorry for myself lol i hope it gets better for you! xxxx

alot of the time the only thing i can stomach is plain crisps, mints, and microwave burgers!
I told my GP this and he said its absolutely fine!
He told me if all i can't stomach is the above and a little glass of milk/juice now and then baby will be fine.

also told me not to eat for two as that is nonsense xx

Also wanted to add don't worry about not gaining weight when pregnant with Leo in 2007 all i put on through the entire pregnancy was 7lb!

At this stage in the pregnancy babys needs are very little. Just eat whatever sounds good to you! I only have mild m/s but I find if I eat about every two hours and try to add protien to each I feel tons better! Protien is said to be really good for m/s I have to force it down but my do I feel better after. Also they say not to get to full or to hungry. I really like smoothies and yogurt. I do eat saltines alot Ginger is also a good help for nausea. Hope this helps!
