Hi,
Thank you for adking I undrstand your concern.
Nausea in ealy weeks of pregnancy is a normsl feature due to mother's sensitivity to increased pregnancy hormones in her body. The symptom is dubjective &depends on infividual tollarence of mother.
Eating can induce nausea &vomitting according to maternal tollerance ..&fwarof vomitting many a times results inavoidence to eat anything...this in turns increases stomach acidity &abdominal cramps/burning &finally uncontrolled vomiting.
You seem to have such symptomatology.Not being able todigest anything leads to physical &psychological stress... concern about thegowing baby ... and thus all the symptoms go on in a vicious circle..
* In such acondition to avoid dehydration &weakness by suplimrnting water, m8nerals &vitamins forms first step to healing... &needs hospitalization.
-Sip by sip intake of cold milk with dugar,fruit juices .. semisolid &then solid nutrients one by one would be possible with support of medicines like pyridoxin hydrochloride(pregnidoxin) & proton pump inhibiter (ranitidine) over the counter .
*To avoid psychological stress &maintaon light nutrition (at home or in hospital )woyld be fine forthe baby. Please be cool.
Thanks.
