Even with it I couldn't eat much and still lost it occasionally but at least it wasn't all day, every day anymore.<BR/><BR/>I sure hope things get better for you soon. <BR/><BR/>Thank goodness babies are so cute and sweet because it sure wouldn't be worth going through all the crap of pregnancy and labor without such a wonderful reward.Momma Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01075769462130524701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-85670774349488764442007-10-17T08:42:00.000-05:002007-10-17T08:42:00.000-05:00Chicky sadly I know how you feel.

I was feeling pathetic as I lay there fearing that I would need to go to the hospital to be rehydrated because I could not make myself drink or eat anything. I felt like it was mental, and I was lacking the ability to take care of myself. I literally sobbed as I read through the experiences people have shared on these blogs and in comments, and I am so grateful to everyone for sharing. I am finally entering my second trimester, and my nausea is no longer an all day companion, for which I am so grateful. Pregnancy number 1 (10 years ago!) was not like this. Regarding Vitamin Water, which my husband has been buying me - I also have had good luck with Fruit Punch Recharge, which is not as strong tasting as it sounds. I have struggled with the fact that one day I can eat something and the next day I can't, and I felt like I was running out of things that would not make me ill. Another thing that helped me a lot was "surprise" food. If my husband made something or brought me something that I did not have to smell or think about, I could usually eat a little more! Thanks again for all of your thoughts and comments and strength!Jackie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13502011220794213281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-85676500403379069182007-10-13T13:25:00.000-05:002007-10-13T13:25:00.000-05:00I'm just happy you're starting to keep a bit of fo...I'm just happy you're starting to keep a bit of food down.
