MS is so bad. Had to stay home today!

I could not get out of bed this morning. How did eveyone deal with morning sickness and the throbbing headaches? I feel like I am going to die. I am only 6 weeks, 1 day but I need suggestions or I am not going to make it.

You just have to suck it up. I threw up everywhere, On the train, in jamaica, at work.

Try crackers and lemon drops ginger-ale or sprite. Find whatever works for you. Hope you feel better soon

Hopefully it will go away around week 12, but for the time being you should try all sorts of things to see what helps you.
For me I lived on ginger ale and crackers.
I know carbs (bagels and bread) also helped.
As for the headache, do you normally get migraines? I got them before I was pregnant, but they got WORSE from being pregnant. My doctor had to give me a prescription for them, because I was getting them 3-4 times a week.
Good Luck! I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks so much! I just am so scared about being so queasy.This is such a horrible feeling. I am really nervous about next week- week 7- I have a week long business trip for work and of course, dh won't be around. No one at works knows I am pg. And I'm frightened to be so far from home like this.

The headaches- just started this morning. But omg, are they bad!

I'm int he same boat with you. It's so tough, but it will hopefully pass soon! It is amazing once you turn that corner, all of a sudden it's GONE! You feel like you can live again.

Cold water helps me and milk, it coats your stomach. Try to eat every 2 hrs, walnuts are great, especially since they are really high in folic acid.

No one knows I'm pregnant at work either and I have such huge administrative meetings each week where I have to present patients to the director and all the hospital big wigs, and I barely got through it today. I think I'll have to tell them soon since there are certain patient's who I cannot be exposed to while pregnant. If it gets really bad, you may need to just tell your supervisor!!!

I went away on business trip during week 8. I was very ill and flying was a nightmare. Once I was at the client I had to excuse myself often! It wasn't fun. Nobody new I was PG either.

I was away agin last week and unfortunately am still sick but again I got through it. A little easier since everyone knows now.

Do what you can and don't push yourself. I didn't go out to dinner everynight with them because I was so tired. I blamed it on the early flight.

Try Peppermint candies. That is the only thing that helped me!

I have been the same way. I carry salteins with me everywhere and eat small meals all day. I feel like all i do is sleep and get sick. Best of luck to you. Make sure to drink a lot of water i was told that helps a little and if anything it keeps you hydrated.
