sickness

I'm 7 weeks pregnant today and although ive had constant nausea for two weeks the actual sickness and vomiting has kicked in since Monday. I can't stop throwing up. I can't eat and certainly can't drink... despite how hard i try. I have sea bands which don't work. What can i do? I know most women go through it so it might just be a case of riding it out. I'm cared of getting dehyrdated though.

Thanks for these replies. I went to the doctor because having tried everything I could I was getting dehydrated. I've been now given metoclopramide. It's not fantastic but its doing something. I'm not just exhausted and ache all over like when you have a fever. Roll on 4 weeks time when hopefully these symptoms pass.

Eat something high in protein before going to bed. Helps your blood sugar stay more level.
Two crackers before your head leaves the pillow is old but wise advice.
Have sips of ice water as the urge to purge strikes. Many women say that this helps them keep meals down as well.
Flat SpriteĀ® is supposedly great at keeping the stomach from churning.
Avoid foods and smells that seem to trigger nausea. Sometimes this will be nearly every food or every smell.
Ginger, teas, cookies, even the spice can be helpful in preventing nausea.
Acupressure bands can be worn like bracelets and can curb nausea while you wear them. But be forewarned as one mom says, stand next to a bucket when you take them off!
Smaller frequent meals can also help keep an ailing belly at bay.
Peppermint, either smelling it in aromatherapy form or sipping the tea can help curb nausea. It's also known to help with sagging energy levels.
Try peanut butter or other protein snack before rising from your bed.
A teaspoon of cider vinegar in a cup of warm water has been said to be effective.
Take a deep breath. It might be mind over matter sometimes.
Comfort foods! Eat what you can, if it stays down it is probably a good thing. Slowly add more foods to your diet as possible.
Sleep to avoid nausea. Hey, don't knock it until you've tried it.
I swear  by cold veggies soaking in water to help relieve the churning feeling.
