Gummy vitamins to help keep my nausea down.

I've lost a lot of weight with both of my pregnancies. With my son 4 years ago I lost around 30-35 lbs and gained back around 25. With my current pregnancy I lost around 20 lbs and have gained back 10 so far. I'm only 20 weeks so I still have some time to go. She may want to talk to her dr about zofran or phenergran to help with the nausea. With my son I was extremely sick til around 7 months and this time around I have a different dr and he started me on zofran when I started losing a lot of weight but I still have food aversions and really weird cravings. He is not worried about me taking vitamins though. He said to take them when I feel ok and if I feel bad to not worry about it. But I take flintstones

I get nauseous when I take vitamins too, I just take them right before I go to sleep, that way I sleep thru the nausea.

U didnt tell wat type of thyroid she has.. Hyper or hyp0?

[gugzii]

Well aman guess she is not living with u yeah? Talk to her n make her feel u r there for her :)
Weight loss in early pregnancy is very common due to loss of apetite n morning sickness.thyroid medicine has no side effects except hyper sensativity n thats wat she is now a days.. She has to take her thyroid medicine in the morning atleast 30 minutes breakfast..
Then she Has to take her pregnancy vitamins cuz she needs them fr her n the baby.vitamins are taken after meals NOT empty stomach to avoid sickness..
If still the vitamins make hr sick..she can talk to her doctor n can change her medicines..
Remembr every pregnancy is different from other. She can have totally different symptoms in 3rd pregnancy..
By the end of 12th to 15th week hopefully her sickkness n weight lloss wud be gone..dont worry everything will be fine

I have been extremely sick with my pregnancy and eating seemed like a chore. I am 18 weeks now but I still have lost weight instead of gaining in total I have lost 18lbs. I would try forcing myself to eat and even was on medicine to help with the vomiting but nothing seemed to help. I was really concerned also but my dr. told me that I was a little over weight when I got pregnant so the weight loss is nothing to stress over unless I get to an unhealthy weight. I do not have a thyroid problem but with the eating and being sick I can relate o and the only thing I wanted to eat was ice cream and pudding when I could eat. I pray she feels relief soon mine has just came in the last week just make sure she is drinking plenty of water!

this is our second baby after 4 yrs…..she is getting more morning sickness and tried then the first baby…..i think it could be the medicine she is taking for thyroid because she tells me she feels upset after taking the medicine….i talk to her everyday about taking her vitamins because she doesn't take them…she does not like taking vitamins because she feels sick afterwards…

is the weight lose common in women during the early stages….12-15 weeks…
also i think she is not eating right too…..we talk on daily basis about her eating right but she does not want too…
also she is not getting her sleep right, she tells me she can't sleep she gets up after few hours of sleep and doesn't feel like sleeping…
i dont had anybody who can help….everytime she is sick or something is wrong with her i get really worried….

also i should mention it was not the same during our first child…..she did feel sick but not like that,,it was really normal then...

I m a hypo thyroid n i m taking euthroxine about 175mcg.. I m 32 weeks now n im gaining weight cuz of my hypothyroid state.. My endocrynologist calls me every 20th day n get me tested..

[gugzii]

Is ur wife checking her t3 t4  n tsh every 20 days? Mostly women lose weight during their 1st trimester cuz of morning sickness n loss of apetite.is ur wife having hypo thyroid or is it hyper thyroid?

[breanna_d]

I am 18 weeks & last I checked I lost 13 lbs total. I lose weight at the beginning of every pregnancy & gain like crazy at the the of it, it's just what my body does. No thyroid problems tho...
