tips on : nausea and vomiting

Im barely in my first trimester , but I can't eat or drink nothing without throwing up . Any tips ? I havent really ate or drank nothing in 4 days . I went back to my doctor and they prescribed me some medication for the nausea and vomiting but that medication doesn't seem to help . This is my first time pregnant . Ive tried Gatorade , Ginger Ale , Fruit , and etc .

Zofran is a miracle! I also sucked on lemon drops (candy) and preggie pops. Those helped some. Finally at 17 wks im no longer throwing up. Definitely get zofran :)

My nurse told me to have crackers and a lot of water and have light food. And even if you're vomiting you have to eat every two hours.

Okay I know it might sound really strange but you could try ginger root. You can get it at the grocery store. You put a piece in your mouth and crew on it. It might sound weired but it works.

Folic acid won't help with your nausia. You need an actual anti nausia medication. There are several kinds. Ask your doctor for  specific med like zophran or diclecton. Try to stay hydrated if nothing else.

I was prescribed zofran. Without my insurance it was 91$ so if you don't have insurance ask for the off brand

Folic acid is something you should be taking as part of your prenatals. I haven't heard of it being prescribed for nausea.
