Pregnancy Info HOME

kristi you are experience EXACTLY what i know i will if i actually get pregnant. it is a constant struggle not to stop eating any time i am stressed or in a situation that might even possibly cause me to be sick. i made sure that my gyno knew that there was no possible way i would even consider getting pregnant without a prescription for something. i know that you cant really continue xanax when pregnant so i need to have something that i know will help me, just in case. my biggest fear is that i will be so afraid that i will stop eating...just as you are afraid. i would make an appointment to see my regular medical dr if your ob will not bend. and keep in your mind that whatever happens you can handle it. i dont know about you but i have not thrown up in 18 years...not because i havent needed to, i just wont or cant (after all this time) allow it. my girlfriend has the same fear as us and she has 3 kids. the few times she did feel sick she dealt with it the same way we always do. whatever works for you when you normally feel nauseous will work now. lie down, air ,water, whatever it takes to find relief should the situation arise but for her and my other emetophobic girlfriend they only had a few moments...not days and hours. i truly believe in mind over matter and while we do struggle every day to try and live as normally as possible, with regard to actual sickness, you know you can do it. eat little bits, you can actually make yourself sick just from lack of food. plus if all of those women in your family did it w/o morning sickness i cant imagine you would be the first to suffer from it! its going to be ok. dont worry about the baby if you cant bring yourself to eat, the baby is getting all it needs from your body. just keep taking your vitamins. my dr also told me that if i didnt want to take a big prenatal (that can make you queasy) i could take the equivalent amount of vitamins in individual pills throughout the day so thats what i do. youre going to be great! & my 2 girlfriends, their labors were breezes too! do whatever makes you feel normal and happy. the baby will take care of itself. :)
