Crippling Nausea and fatigue.

Well I just found out a few days ago that #3 is on the way. I haven't been to the doc yet (3rd time in a row, gatta go through the whole getting insurance thing, ugh). But if I calculated correctly, I'm roughly around 6 weeks and just got slammed with pregnancy symptoms. I'm nauseous almost non stop all day and night. The only time I get away from it is when I'm asleep. I can barely eat. I can barely drink anything outside of the water or ginger ale department. Almost any scent or the thought of food -even someone just saying the word "hamburger" makes me want to run to the bathroom and empty my stomach.

As I've mentioned I've gone through two successful pregnancies previously and I've never had a whole lot of problems when it came to fatigue and nausea. Random bouts here and there, especially fatigue when my due date approached, but nothing like this. I've been practically living off of pepto before I found out I was pregnant, for months because of problems with IBS and now I cannot take the pepto anymore. Ginger Ale isn't cutting it like it did with my previous pregnancies and tums make me even more nauseated. I'm nauseated if I don't eat, and I'm nauseated if I do. I'm kind of at a stump here. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

Were your first two boys? Because I hear the MS is worse with girls and my first was a girl, who gave me MS for the entire pregnancy! The only thing that helped me, a little bit, was saltine crackers.
I feel for ya!! Hope you can find something that helps :)

Where I was pg with number 3 I had horrible ms.  Try sucking on sour candy like lemon drops or jolly ranchers, small frequent snacks and make sure there is a protein in there, and regular unisom not the rapid release kind 1/2 pill up to 4 times daily.  Good luck
