Can't even think about food, much less keep snacking all the time. PREGNANT AND SICK-Please help!?
I’m 6 weeks pregnant and my stomach is constantly upset. I feel nauseated, bloated, and diareah-ey. It is so hard to eat anything, but everyone keeps telling me to keep eating-keep something in my stomach at all times. So I’ve been munching on Saltines, whole grain breakfast bars, broccoli-everything I should be eating. But I feel soooo sick. I can hardly eat anything. I’ll eat a few crackers and feel like I’m going to throw them up. It makes me sick to even think about food. I tried to make a grocery list earlier and literally ran to the bathroom to vomit (but just dry-heaved). What can I do about this?? Any pointers?? It’s so bad that I don’t even want to get out of the house in case I vomit.
The strange thing is that I’ve only thrown up one time. I just feel on the verge all the time. It’s not a normal nauseated feeling. I feel like I’m really, really nervous. Like right before I got married-just extremely unsettled, but I’m not nervous about anything. Please help!

this is weird because i am 6 weeks also, and can hardly eat, the thought of food makes me sick, i dry heave, though and have thrown up only once. but i did feel better today a litte, maybe im just getting used to feeling like this every morning and afternoon. uhhh i hate feeling nauseated. i also have a 2 year old daughter to take care of, and its so hard when i wake up sick, i feel sooo bad for her cause im not my old self!
ya know what ive been doing? i dont eat when i get up i know every one says "oh you gotta eat, eat some crackers, eat some toast" but i just cant, and they dont get it. there is no way i feel like toast or crakers at this point, so i just get some water and sip on it, and keep a bowl with my just in case. then, as soon as i feel that small feeling like eating i get in my fridge and grab me some grapes- i just eat some and i feel a little better. then, later i actaully start starving and feel like eating something, but you gotta be quick, like ill feel hungry one second, and then sick again its so weird. i dread waking up in the morning cause i know i will feel sick.. and i know hwat you mean about the nervous feeling, i do it too. i wonder if tis cause im afraid of throwing up, i HATE it!
i know your pain. i hope this ends soon for he both of us.
hey, feel free to e mail me, we can chat, i wonder if we are having the same gender since we feel the same, im hopin for a boy this time! what about you?
good luck
eat healthy
My dr put me on Zofran, I was vomiting all the time and lost 15 lbs the first trimester. I was the same way about food ask your OB what they can do. I know it doesn’t help but it will pass, eventually
Try to snack every 2 hours. Don’t force yourself to eat more often than that. When you do eat, just grab 4-5 bites and see how it goes. I’ve had issues with eating this entire pregnancy (25 weeks on 4th pregnancy). I was nausteated alot, so I understand your pain. I really suggest you take your prenatal at a time during the day where you are least likely to throw it up. For me that means first thing in the morning, then eating a small breakfast 2 hours later. When you do feel good, eat good. When you don’t, just make sure what you do eat is healthy for you both.
I’m in the same boat, except I barf 2-4 times daily. My doctor said it may end around 13-14 weeks. I’ll be 9 weeks on Monday and I dread doing anything involving food. My poor husband tries to ask me what I think I can handle, and the answer is always ‘I don’t know’. I seem to always throw up the first few bites of dinner, no matter what it is. I take naps, but have extreme nausea when I wake up. I feel like it’s a no-win situation right now. I can’t even fathom going to a grocery store. How do people with a bunch of kids do this? I can barely take care of myself right now, I don’t know what I’d do with someone else to take care of. It’s frustrating.
i went through the exact same thing. i didnt eat for a month except for a cracker here and there but i thre up everything i ate. i mean EVERYTHING, its really horrible to deal with and the feeling isnt even i regular sick feeling right? yeah it will go away. youve just got to deal with it. throwing up is a bad part of being pregnant. usually the sickess will end around 12 weeks. Keep trying saltines and warm sprite or 7up. good luck hun
i went thru the same thing and definitely would consider it to be queasiness. if i ate something that didn’t agree with me i would throw up but otherwise i just felt queasy. the only thing that would make me NOT want to throw up is melba toast (which i love anyway) i would suggest trying to find ONE food that you can tolerate without it making you more sick. also after the initial queasiness i would still have food aversions and often could only eat cheese toast. also lemonade has been a drink that consistently satisfies me. good luck!
