Hello,
I am almost seven weeks pregnant and decided to visit this board. I have been doing really well with eating...until the morning sickness hit! Now I feel like I am force feeding myself when i REALLY don't feel like I want to eat. i am doing it so I stay on track...but it is hard!
I know I need to eat and I want to eat to stay healthy, but when you feel like you might throw up because of morning sickness...it is hard!

did you guys have morning sickness? How did you get past it and stay on track? I just don't want to lose any weight!

Thanks!

Dee,

Welcome, welcome,welcome!!!!!!!!

I am short on time so but I wanted to let you know how pleased I am for you. (not sure if you saw my rather late reply on the a/b recovery board)

Morning sickness can really suck and it can be much worse to deal with emotionally when recovering from an ed. My suggestion would be to talk to your ob/gyn about this and see if he/she can give you something to help.

Is she aware of your struggles with an ed? If not it is so important to share this with her. I had a friend who go pregnant at about the same stage of recovery you are in and while she was thrilled about the pregnancy she had awful morning sickness twenty-four seven. Her ob/gyn gave her a cream that she rubbed on her wrist that really helped. (sorry can't name the med :winky)

Also, a lot of maternity shops (and maybe BabysRUS) sell these suckers that are supposed to really help with morning sickness. They weren't out back in the stone age when I had my children but I have heard a lot of woman praise them.

Hello,
Thanks NC! :-) My OBGYN works with my PCP a lot. She suggested I go see him and so far he has been great! He does know I am recovering from an ED...but I won't see him until the week after next. We are leaving for Jamaica tomorrow. :-) I should go find those things they sell at baby store. My friend mentioned them to me but I forgot to go and get them! Thanks for the suggestion!

I have noticed that I am get very nervous about the morning sickness. Most people just eat
saltines and don't care. I feel like it will mess me up because I don't want to lose weight. I know a lot of pregnant woman lose wieght in the first three months because of the sickness...but I can't affrd to do that. Hopefully it won't be really bad......keep your fingers crossed!

Ok, time to go make some tea. I have heartburn!!!! :-)
