Suggest Remedy For Nausea During Pregnancy

Hi Prior to taking two positive home pregnancy tests I had felt nauseated all day and then around 9pm I went from cold to dripping sweat. So I ran to my bathroom and peeled my shirt off for relief and instantly threw up. From that point on until 11am the next morning I repeated this about every 30 min. If I stood up I'd throw up so I sleep on the floor next to a bowl. Question is did I have really bad morning sickness or am I prego with a bad stomach flu? Days later still nauseous but not throwing up since that night.

Hi
Yes. you had bad morning sickness. Good to know that the severity has reduced.
Try these tips to reduce nausea.
-Eat frequent small quantity of meals. Eat what appeals to you. Don't drink water immediately after food. wait for half hour and then drink water.
-Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid food that has smell.
-Take ginger powder 250mg 6th hrly daily
-Some of them feel good after eating icecream first thing in the morning. try that.
-When you want to get up from lying down dont stand up suddenly.
first sit down for some time and then stand up.

I hope you are eating adequately. If you feel you are unable to eat adequately see your obstetritian. You need to take urine examintion to see if acetones are present in urine. If so you will need drip to give fluids. You may need tablets to reduce nausea.
Dont worry. In all probability you will be free from this nausea as you complete three months of pregnancy.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
