morning sickness

I am 5 weeks and a couple days and am sick already! I have to force myself to eat and talk myself out of puking. I want nothing to do with my prenprenatal still have to work full time. I have been doing some research and everything says that you have to "eat through it".   Well,  for me that is a lot easier said than done.  I munch on dry cereal, yogurt and crackers all day but I know that isn't enough for my baby. Any tips?

I was sick at 6w4d with my 1st child and continued to be sick the entire pregnancy. I had it with my current
pregnancy at 6w4d up until I was 5 months. I had what's called hyperemesis gravidarum. Lost weight, got dehydrated all the time, couldn't eat or drink  anything. Not even keep water down. There isn't much you can do. But like everyone says, every pregnancy is different. The only thing I craved was Top Ramen. The kind in the bag. If I didn't have it at the exact moment I was craving it, my body would reject it. So I advise you to keep a bunch of your fav foods close by just in case and don't over eat at each sitting. Take your time with your food too! Some people try prego pops, zots, toast, ginger or ginger ale, crackers. A lot of other pregnant woman would tell me that their doctor said to watch their salt intake. Which Top Ramen is loaded with. But my doctor said that if that was all my body would agree with-then go for it! Well I hope this helps! Good luck!!!

It's okay for now u have the whole rest of your pregnancy to eat nutritious I was the same oatmeal all day started the nausea and vomit at 4 weeks and it ended at my 9th week cinnamon tea helped me the most in the mornings and prenatels are very needed right now take them during lunch or dinner make sure it's a heavier meal
