So this is the start of my 7th week. I spent all weekend feeling sick and gagging at pretty much nothing. I can hardly eat because my stomach has shrunk and because eating makes me feel sick. Tried all plain stuff and still doesnt really help. Had a sunday dinner cooked for me and i managed to eat 1 bit of beef and a couple of mouthfuls of (lumpy) mash. It's really getting me down feeling so sick all day.

To top it off, i got up today and as i was getting dressed i felt a really strong gag coming so ran to the loo just in case and i was sick :( I was sick maybe 4 times and had pretty much nothing to bring up. I feel so ill and i just want to cry all the time and its making me quite negative about the whole thing. I obviously already love my babies and i know its not thier fault and i feel awful that i cant feed myself enough to give them what they need. I dont want to be affecting them.

Im at the hospital for my scan tomorrow so i will ask the nurses how i can stay healthy for the babies. I've got a meeting tomorrow which i have to go to straight from my scan which is 100 miles away so that'll be a fun trip with morning sickness!!

Im feeling very sorry for myself and really down and it's only week 7. I dont know how i can cope with this for another few weeks!!

	Comment from charliexoxo » Posted Nov. 7, 2012 3:31am Thanks ladies. I had a scan yesterday and was dated at 7wks 2days. I saw their little heartbeats and they're growing really well so they must be doing OK with what they're getting from me. It's made it more managable seeing them but i'm still pretty miserable! But I know i'm not alone xx

I've been sick for weeks, and I've lost more than 15 pounds so I know how you feel about worrying about the baby getting enough. My doctor told me the best I can do is try. She also told me about some shakes to get the nutrients I need, so far they make me sick. You'll find food you can keep down, and tricks to keeping things down. My doctor gave me an anti nausea and vertigo pill today, I threw it up =/. I've been crazy sick (8-10 visits to bathroom a day minimum), it's exhausting. Water melon and candy corn stay down for me. Root beer too (which is caffeine free so that's good). I also try to drink tea with honey and a lot of water to stay hydrated. Also if I can just sit and not move sometimes it'll help. Hopefully you'll find a trick that works for you soon =)
