Hello girls! I had my positive B-HCG last Monday at 14dp5dt and am currently 6 weeks pregnant. But I have been feeling nauseous since 2 days ago and it's getting worse. There's no vomiting yet but this nausea prevents me from eating or drinking. Any home made remedies that I can try? I have tried sour plums, ginger candy but they make me feel worse
The support medication we are taking worsens the nausea but bo bian, in order to have best chances for your beanie, you have to tahan ok.
There are plenty of websites that give you info on what to do to combat nausea. if you are lucky, they will work. if you, like me sway, one day will work, other days will chuck up. But I'll just share with you what worked for me.
In terms of what to eat. You will find that your appetite has evaporated. You'd be lucky to finish half of what is in front of you. I found it useful to eat soupy things and things that have no strong smell. Those things with strong smell really triggered my nausea and I couldn't even get the food down. Different people take to different things but it seems like fish is a common disliked food amongst us severe nausea victims. Don't be too worried about not taking enough food, because beanie is still small and has the yolk sac which is its main source of nutrition. When nausea eases off around, you will suddenly become godzilla of food - like me.
it's counter-intuitive, but do not go hungry. It makes the nausea worse. What really helped me was crackers and digestive biscuits. I'd put a box of them next to my bed. Before I sleep, I'd take one. Sometimes I'd wake up at 4am for no reason feeling hungry and nauseous, I would eat some of those biscuits. The moment I wake up, the first thing I do is to reach out for the biscuits. It's really desperation. Ultimately, I still felt nauseous throughout the day but not filling my tummy with something makes it way worse. Digestive biscuits may or may not work for you. I suggest going to the supermarket (or get DH to go if you can't even drag yourself out) and buy a variety of different dry crackers. Find one that works for you, and stick to it
Oh ya, rolled oats are good. I start off the day with oats and find I don't really chuck up for some weird reason. Rolled oats will keep you feeling full too.
It helps to know that there's an end to this misery. For most people, the nausea peaks around Week 9 - 10 and thereafter, tapers off. But this is general rule of the thumb. I'm not sure about twins scenario. I have a singleton and am currently at Week 11.. the nausea has, thankfully, eased up quite a bit.
Good luck sweetie. hang in there, I know it's horrible. But when you see the bub on the ultrasound, you'd say 'a million times over for you, darling'.
