Vomiting

Hey everyone, I'm 5 weeks pregnant and are vomiting almost all day, I have tried crackers, 7~up, not drinking fluids before or after meals. I hardly want to eat and chewing mint gum isn't helping. Any suggestions?

Welcome to pregnancy! With my first I gained literally 10 lbs baby weighed 6lb 13 oz I could not eat at all. Water wasn't even an option. Food made my stomache turn with just the smell. Good luck and I hope you find something that helps.. I carried a lot of bread bc every now and again I was able to get a piece down

Try sea bands.   They work on the pressure points in your wrists,  no drugs,  no chemicals.   They took the edge off for me,  not a complete cure but I didn't want to take anything and ginger gave me heartburn.

The sea bands don't work for everyone,  but they're worth a shot.

Same thing happened to me, my OB prescribed me Zofran and that's the only thing that seemed to help. It took me from throwing up eight or nine times a day, to once or twice a day.

Get some preggy pop drops, they helped me a lot, was able to get them from a local maternity store. Motherhood maternity. Check around. They are a candy that help with nausea and vomiting.

If I remember correctly from my first pregnancy there is an otc pill u can take for morning sickness so I'd try that if I was you that and tums may help. I lived on tums most of the Preg for my first kid.
