I'm almost 4 months pregnant and i hardly eat, i just can't stand to eat and then throw up right after. I've notice i don't eat healthy either. I just don't know what to do, what to eat, nor how this is affecting my baby?I'm also not taking prenatal vitamins right now, i ran out and my pharmacy is too far away for me to go get the refill, i have no car and the buses run very weird around here, what should i do at the mean time? What should i eat mostly and how should i enteract?

1. you don't need precription vitamins. get the over-the-counter. they are cheaper, and just as good.
2. you need to eat fresh fruit, veggies, and lots of calcium products such as milk, yogurts, cheese.
3. it is very important to drink plenty of liquids
4.and start to enjoy the pregnancy, since you sound you are not.
good luck.

If you get the over-the-counter prenatal vitamins, buy an additional 400mg folic acid vitamin. My doctor says we need at least 800mg of folic acid a day and over-the-counter prenatal only has 400mg. Together, 1 bottle of each, cost under $10 and comes with so many pills they will last the entire pregnancy!
