Sickness
Hello im 7 weeks pregnant and up until yesterday I have been feeling queasy 24/7. Yesterday i started with vomiting and today im really struggling to keep food down. I cant drink anything but water. I can only manage quite plain food like crackers but if i start walking about i end up being sick. I dont mind it when im at home cos i can cope with it but work is awful. I work an hour away and i feel so sick in the car, also im sat really far from the toilets which is awful cos im always in there and its obvious i am. If people are drinking coffee or eating something smelly that sets me off again.
Has anyone got any advice?

the travel sickness bands helped for me as did biscuits containing real ginger.
Milk in the mornings made it worse for me and i worked out by painful trial and error what i could and couldn't eat (and for a while the list just seemed to get smaller and smaller) - things fried, or greasy were awful and bananas and onions were a disaster!
also eating a little bit at least every two hours did help.
You are just in the worst bit and i promise it does get better (i'm 15+6 now)
I worried loads about what effect it was having on the baby and mine seems fine i did make sure i had my vitamin just before i went to sleep at night as this is when it stayed down best!!! also have lots of fluids and see your doc if you feel you need to!!
hang in there!! and good luck!!
Has anyone been to the doctors about it? Im worried they will just think im being pathetic for not getting on with it. If i didnt work i could quite easily get on with it but i cant stop the office from drinking coffee or eaating smelly food.
milk definately made me feel worse!
and oh god the smelly food and office thing - i had to go on the bus and it was hell! sorry that probably doesn't help you!!
the bands didn't stop me being sick they just helped me feel less sick but sadly i think it is just finding what works for you.
you aren't pathetic though - this is one of the much less fun but normal bits of pregnancy!!

Currently i am eating little and often, toast and chocolate seem to help. Try drinking lemonade and in between meals chew spearmint chewing gum. Chewing gum has really helped and since i started last week i haven't been sick (was vomiting 6 or 7 times a day before). So give it ago.
Hope it helps!

I just wish the doctor would say i can stay at home! I think that may be asking too much but i can hope
