Hello I Am In The 7th Week Of My Pregnancy

Posted on Mon, 13 May 2019

Question: Hello

I am in the 7th week of my pregnancy. For the last 4 days, I feel hungry and pukish all the time, however I have not puked yet. The hunger is very acute and gives a very ugly feeling. It feels like I will puke if I eat and I will puke even if I don't eat. I am also feeling a but dizzy and weak today. I have not yet had my first checkup, planning to do that after 8th week is completed.

1. Is there something I can do or eat that can reduce the acidity?
2. Can I continue having sex? Is there something I should take care of during that time?
3. I am 34 years of age and this is my first pregnancy. Does age cause any complications that I should be aware of and take any precautions due to this?
4. How can I detect if there is any issue, complication or miscarriage?

Thanks
Adisha
