Pregnancy Info HOME

I am 12 weeks 2 days today, and I still have morning sickness. Mine began at week 8 and has continued since then. It was so bad that my doctor prescribed me some phenegran....since it makes me so sleepy, I usually take 1/2 a pill in the morning and the other half mid morning instead of the whole thing at one time. It is suppose to help you keep food down and keep you from feeling nausea...BUT, it doesn't always work for me.....for example, last week, I was sick throwing up Monday morning before work, and Friday morning before work, but the rest of the week I was fine. Then over the weekend, I was absolutely miserable....I threw up 3 times Saturday, to the point I was throwing up bile, and one time on Friday while I was in the middle of eating something. I don't know what's worse, vomiting on an empty stomach or full....its DISGUSTING!!! I guess during the week I'm on a routine and the weekends, I sleep in, and sometimes that means skipping breakfast....so I'm going to start getting up regular time on Sat. and Sun. and do my regular routine...I have found that very little satisfies me. Chocolate milk has been a life saver! I drink it all the time.....I also drink Gatorade in moderation....these are the only two liquids I can keep down.....occasionally I'll sip on some water, but it usually makes me throw up. As far as food.....anything with bread has worked well. I really crave spaghetti right now, but the acid in the sauce KILLS my stomach and leaves me with severe indigestion and nausea....I usually don't eat meals, I just munch....jello, popsicles, toast, cheeze nips, salt-vinegar chips (in moderation), apple sauce, grapes, sliced apples (in moderation as well because of the acid), and sandwiches or subs. Thats about it! So, if you have any other suggestions for me, please enlighten me!!!!! Thanks, and it is nice to know I'm not the only one hanging over the toilet every day!!!
