Help?

Is it just me? Am I the only one w/ horrible morning sickness? I'm now 9 weeks and CAN'T eat or drink ANYTHING w/o throwing up... What could I do to stop this? When will this end?

Yea, I just left ER an hour ago. I had to get that IV because of dehydration. What are the nausea meds called? Are they over the counter or only Dr. Prescribed?

It's definitely not you. At least 80-90% of pregnant women experience nausea/vomiting, and some definitely vomit more than others. I had severe nausea/vomiting from 5 weeks till I delivered at 39 weeks, and continued to have it until my hormone levels dropped completely a few weeks later. In my case I had hyperemesis, which is extreme nausea/vomiting.

If you're unable to hold down anything, especially water, you will likely need to go to the ER. Dehydration is very dangerous while pregnant, and you would need medical care to keep your body hydrated. They can also give you medicine to help control your nausea/vomiting. I was on them for 7 months of my pregnancy and they were the only thing that helped me keep some food down.
