So sick I can't eat... and it's getting worse

Tish - you may already be doing this but take a pregnancy multi vitamin as well, like Elevit or the Blackmores one. At least that way if you can't eat (i lived on salt and vinegar chips for months), your bubs will be getting something from the vitamin.

Thanks em I am on elevit (sometimes I think this makes the MS even worse!). I am hopeful the MS will go soon - it hasn't been too bad, but it's weird to not want to eat. Eating was like a hobby before LOL. Anyway, any excuse for ginger snaps in the morning!!

Cheers,
Tish

MANNA I posted a similar thread to yours in the Pregnancy in the First Trimester section. That's where you'll find the few other posts about this too.

I also had terrible MS from 5.5 wks & still have it now. I went through about 1.5 weeks where it was bearable but it's now back to being really awful. It's so hard to see the road at the end of the tunnell & nothing really does help. I found that things helped only for a very very short period. Maxalon will help stop the vomitting, but as someone else mentioned here it doesn't stop the nausea, it just takes the edge off it. I have now found that the more I eat, the more I can eat. I was finding it hard to eat anything, but that passed. The thought of having food still haunts me but once I actually start eating it's ok. It did take me a few weeks to get to this point though.

Check out the other threads, try all the things people say, & hope you get some relief for at least a short period of time. It's so awful, but unfortunately there's not alot you can do about it.
