First trimester nausea

[14522W]

I really need advice! I’m pregnant with my first baby, I’m only 5 weeks, no one apart from my husband knows. I am really struggling with sickness, the only thing I’ve managed to keep down so far is a plain piece of toast. I have bought everything else back up, including anything ginger related, plain biscuits. I was keeping plain crumpets down until this morning so now they are out the window.

I’m really struggling with it, along with feeling really lonely. We are waiting until we are over the 6 weeks to have a private early reassurance scan, and then we will tell our parents.

Any advice would be amazing as I’m really down about it at the moment. I am unbelievably grateful to be pregnant, it’s everything I’ve always wanted, I’m just struggling to be positive right now. And struggling to eat!!

Go to the drs! There are lots of medications that can be given that are safe to take.

Yeah if it's bad enough that you can't function, go to doctors. If you can muddle through, then tips to improve it are...
Eat little and often. Never ever ever get hungry, or too full. Nibble all day on whatever food you can stomach.
Things I could eat were plain carbs (but the exact type changed daily), 'zingy' fruit like berries and oranges, smoothie, some breakfast cereals. It's boring, but keeps you alive!
Sip cold water all day. Vital to stay hydrated.
Some people find anti-nausea devices helpful, like sickness bands or emeterm.

I would agree - go to the doctors.
If you can’t keep any fluids down at all, and haven’t for 24 hrs, the advice I had was to go to A&E. I was severely dehydrated and needed an IV drip and several bags of fluid.
Hope you get some relief soon!
