6wks- so sick

[Stormy16]

so im barely 6wks and i feel like im getting sicker everyday... i know its called morning sickness but its not just the morning for me.... im nauseous in the morning, sometimes i throw up... but thru the day it gets worse.... in the afternoon i have fever like flu symptoms for the past week... my head feels hot, i just feel gross... is that normal??? This is my first time pregnant and im starting to freak out about how im going to deal with this sick feeling..... any advice u guys could give me would be great

Stormy:  I feel you!  My nausea started the end of week 5, and I am at week 9 now.  I COMPLETELY sympathize with wondering how you are going to deal with this icky feeling all the time!!!!!  I have been so down in the dumps about it, but the last few days it has been a little better - but not gone.  In the mornings I eat a couple of saltines and a few sips of gingerale about 15 minutes before getting out of bed - that really helps with the morning sickness part.  I then later try to eat some grits or rice.  Lemon drops, Preggy Pops (you can get them online), and lemonade throughout the day have been my saving graces.  Also stick to bland foods - rice, potatoes, grits, apple sauce, etc.  My Dr. also prescribed me Zofran which is sage to take during pregnancy, and I take that on my really bad days and it helps.  Hange in there and let me know anytime you need to talk because I can definately sympathize with you!

Hey Stormy---

First congrats on the pregnancy. I had the same thing when i was pregnant with my son. sicker than a dog, and not sure how I was going to be able to deal with feeling that way all the time. I suggest that you go get these things called "Sea bands" or there are other bands on the market that are similar. They have a pressure point near your wrist that stops the feeling of being sick. IT WORKED FOR ME. i wore those bands all time my first pregnancy. This time, I have only had to wear them a few times, but it has taken down the feeling of wanting to throw up all the time. LOL.
Let me know if they work for you---- Maybe others have used them as well, and can let you know their expierence.

Good Luck, and Hang In there!
