so very early in my pregnancy, I was pretty sick. . . I was throwing up a lot, couldn't keep anything down, and was loosing weight like crazy ( normally a good thing, but not so much when you are hoping for a healthy baby). When I went to my first doctors appointment, they gave me a whole packet of information. One of the papers said to try 'Unisome' tablets to help ease morning sickness. ( along with b12 or b6 . .. can't remember which) I take 1/2 of a Unisome tablet at night before I go to bed, and it has cut the severity of my morning sickness in half. . . I still threw up about once a week until 20 weeks, but I was able to actually eat food, and I wasn't constantly nausious unless there was a weird smell in the air. it has been a life saver and I will definitly use it again. . . . .pretty inexpensive too. I can get a pack of 36 tablets ( that lasts me for 72 days ) for about 8.00 at Walmart. Unisome is a over the counter sleep aid. I guess how it works, is it relaxes your central nervous system, so that you are less apt to nausia. . . . If you think it is worth a try, talk to your doctor first. . . . . cause I don't know your medical history, and there may be a good reason why you shouldn't try it.
short history of my pregnancy
Morning sickness from weeks 5 - about 20
0 weight gain last time they told me . ( they don't usually tell me cause I don't ask ...don't really want to know). . . . gaining as fast as I'm loosing . . . until the doctor says something about it, I'm going to assume that everything is still okay.
easiest foods for me to eat: Slim fast . . .recently switched to Carnation Instant breakfast . . . . for some reason, cold drinks are easy to get down. sucking on candy, or chewing gum also helped a little bit with nausia, raw veggies , steamed broccolli, ice cream, milk shakes , salad,
bad foods for me while I'm pregnant: Potatoes, ( including fries sadly . . . the smell just makes me want to run away) , orange juice , soup , bread ( for the first 18 weeks anyway) , rice, Pizza
