Not feeling so good in the morning - 5weeks

[roke]

So for the past 4 days, I have not been feeling good at all in the mornings.  I am extremely thirsty, but everytime I drink something, it makes me even more sick.  I know I should be eating better the night before, but I just can seem to find something that I like to eat and don't necessarily feel like eating.... then by the AM I am starving and not feeling good....

Anybody have any suggestions?

Early in this pregnancy, around 5 - 7 weeks I wouldnt feel like eating much in the evening or at night and I would wake up in the morning starving and not feeling good. My doctor told me I wasn't feeling good because it had been so many hours since I had ate anything. And he said I had to start eating something at night even if I didn't feel like it. So I started eating either a banana or apple, or a couple pieces of whole wheat toast, and now in the mornings I don't feel nauseaus and can stomach my breakfast, and now I haven't had a single time of morning sickness or anything. So I would recommend eating something, whether you feel like it or not.

Congratsssssssss, welcome to mourning sickness.

The best thing is to eat healthy, if you cant eat big meals, eat small six meals. Or if you eat a meal early evening, eat a snack b4 bed.  Once preggo, your body demands more glucose, and you need glucose for energy etc.  Keep a white soda and saltine crackers at the bed side, for in the mourning to help the nausea.  

But i really suggest the 6small meals, your body does need food and as bryann said, not eating can make you sick.  Im not preggo and get a little sick when i miss eating dinner and just go to sleep.

I hope you feel better, keep us posted on what your trying to help you feel better.

thanks!  I have been trying to eat smaller meals throughout the day, but it's just not working....  I'll have to find something to eat before bed... I absolutely hate this queasy feeling in the mornings....

Right now, the only thing that seems to take away the nauseous feeling is cheezies... weird - I know.

I'm 38 weeks and have had nausea and vomitting the ENTIRE time...Over the past few months I've finally figured out that I can't EVER let myself get hungry.....or I vomit......I know that it's probably not the healthiest, but when I have to force myself to eat, I find that carbs are the answer.......I have little things of Easy Mac (bad, I know) that take 3 min. to cook in the microwave....and they've saved me from getting sick so many times!  I've only gained 19 lbs., so the carbs aren't causing excessive weight gain or anything....Once I eat carbs, I find that I can better tolerate the more healthy foods like salads, fruits, etc......So try to never let yourself get hungry!
