None of the usual suggestions made any difference for me. I basically had to eat simple foods out of necessity rather than appetite. Most things I usually like made me queasy. I have eaten crazy amounts of fruit and I drink a lot of ice water.
For those mentioning ginger biscuits, Ikea does some very thin, crispy ones that are nice.
Funny as pregnancy is always associated with cravings and I've not had any yet. Just aversions..eep.
Thanks for the tip on the Ikea ginger thins. I looked in Migros and Coop and couldnt find anything. It resorted to me buying ginger nuts from britshop.ch.
I am in Oerlikon & I do not speak the language so I will also definitely need English speaking help. Thanks for the offer of help.
I am 14 weeks along and have only lived in Switzerland ten months. The pregnancy wasn't planned (surprise!) but am getting more used to the idea. I found a wonderful doctor in Zurich but would also like to meet more English speaking (I am still struggling with learning German) people in a similar situation.
P.S.Enjoy! The first one is always special... :-)
keep up good spirits it will go away and then you'll feel great (at least as long as you can still see your feet LOL)
However, I find getting out and not dwelling somehow allows me to get through the day. 4 weeks left of 1 st trimester.
For my son I felt vaguely nauseous the first trimester. Otherwise I was ecstatic, full of energy.
With my daughter, the morning sickness lasted 6 months, and I felt really down for the whole pregnancy: tired, depressed, crying a lot.
Education in english medium is too expensive.
I think it's making me depressed as I seem to cry whenever my head is in that toilet bowl now. My OH is feeling the strain of my misery.
What can I do? B6 not working, ginger makes me puke and I try to eat little and often but the waves of nausciousness keep coming back.
I really feel for you, as I experienced the same during my pregnancy. But in my case it evolved into pre-birth depression and required treatment. If you feel you can't stop crying, are much more depressed than normal for more than a week or two, please seak professional help. Those depressions are hormone-related but can lead to severe post-partum depression and interfere with your bonding with the baby.
I don't want to worry you, just to be sure you're aware of what could happen and don't hesitate to mention it to your OB.
Make an appointment, yes nausea is a sign of healthy pregnancy (doubling HCG and all that fun) but you don't have to suffer to that extreme.
As for the depression, normal when you are nauseous pretty much all the time. Do seek help though if you need... There is a good cocktail (combination of drugs) specifically for hyperemesis... But mostly given at the hospital. And keep in mind... It will be over... I hope very soon for you :-)
I finally spoke with my doctor about just how bad it is, and he suggested that the nausea could be caused from acid reflux and gave a prescription for a type of milk of magnesia. The Itenerol didn't help me at all. If you normally vomit easily, acid reflux could cause you to be vomiting now, because one of the hormones released during pregnancy keeps the flap that covers the stomach from contracting normally.
So as others suggested -- talk to you doctor. He may be able to help. And don't wait until your next appointment. Call the office first thing Monday. They may even be able to send a prescription to your local pharmacy.
In the meantime, have you tried drinking milk? Sipping a glass of milk (or 2) can help neutralize the acids in the stomach and give some relief.
