Morning sickness!!!

Hello everyone!

After a m/c last year, i found out i was expecting again. My last pregnancy did not have these symptoms as much but this time around, i am only 6 weeks right now and the morning sickness is taking over my life!

I googled what can help me and lemon candies and gingerale helps a little but my life is just depending on it. Its so unhealthy, imagine the sugar!

I haven’t announced my pregnancy yet so i cant ask around for help. Can you suggest me food that will make me feel better?

Re: Morning sickness!!!

And i dont feel like doing anything, like even get up and do the dishes which is NOT like me.

Re: Morning sickness!!!

Congratsss! I pray this one makes it through, Ameen. I'll let the ob/gyns answer this question. Best wishes.

Re: Morning sickness!!!

Congrats! try dry plums and saltines. If these don't help, call your doctor's office for a prescription.

Re: Morning sickness!!!

Congratulations! I was pretty much inactive the first trimester as well. I used to sleep a lot and did not have the energy to do anything. Also experienced morning sickness, but my ob told me to eat salted crackers first thing in the morning. As soon as you wake up. In sha Allah hope you will feel better and may Allah bless you with a healthy baby and a full term pregnancy!

Re: Morning sickness!!!

Someone told me about the salted crackers too and it works. Keep them by your bed and eat them as soon as you wake up. Also I found going without food too long actually made the nausea worse so try eating something small every couple hours. It will eventually get better. If it gets really bad, I heard there is a medicine (diclectin I believe) that helps so see your doctor.

Re: Morning sickness!!!

Congrats - may Allah make this one an easy and successful pregnancy for you.
Saltines helped me.
Ginger Ale made it worse.

Re: Morning sickness!!!

Things will get better from second trimester. Morning sickness and vomiting are very common in first trimester.

Re: Morning sickness!!!

Anything salty helps. I used to eat lays potato chips. And eating after long intervals makes it worse. This too shall pass. If it's really bad you can ask your doc for a prescription for diclectin. But I was wary of taking it and only took it if I felt really bad.

Re: Morning sickness!!!

Thank you everyone!

Yeah, it helped initially but then the bloating started. :smack: I am not throwing up as much, and able to eat more.

Digestion is a major problem right now, still gagging. I feel so hungry all the time, sometimes it gets to the point where I just feel like I might collapse and then after a few bites, I’m done!

I dont know how people give birth. :hayaa:
