Morning sickness

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I am struggling to eat any food without severe nausea and gag reflex kicking in. Are there any suggestions apart from smaller meals more regularly?  I am doing that already but can currently only tolerate breadsticks and water :/

Yea my doc 1st gave me unisom and b6. That helped a little but not much. Then they put me on zofran. I would ask ur doc.

Are you opposed to medication? Your Dr would be able to give you a prescription if that is appropriate. There are a couple safe anti- emetic (anti nausea) medications that you can take during your pregnancy. From experience I have taken zofran and have been satisfied, however everyone is different and that may not be the best course of action for you.

Awe :( I'm sorry you are having a rough time. You may consider sea bands for motion sickness and also the sea band brand of ginger gum. I found relief off and on with them. I've also heard that b12 vitimins can also help with nausea. I found that for me pretty much anything ginger seemed to help me (even though I hate ginger). You can buy Ginger capsules at most vitimin shops. As always, saltines and water,  preggie pops, and time.  I hope you feel better soon. :)
