You more that likely have hyperemesis gravidarum, which is extreme nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. I have it and I'm 18 weeks today, and I'm still sick. Ask your doctor for dissolvable zofran, that seems to have helped me a little bit, take it as soon as you wake up. The only downside is that it will probably give you a headache. Try eating baby food, if it's easy for a baby to digest it, it will be easier for you to keep down. Also you can try Italian ice, you can get them in the frozen section at Walmart, they are kind of bitter so it helps me also. If you get to where to you literally cannot keep anything down one day, then go to the ER and get some IV fluids. Hope you start feeling better soon!
