feeling really bad

[siany]

Hi all,
I am 10 weeks pregnant and this weekend have just felt terrible. I could'nt get out of bed as I was so tired. My body is aching like I have flu and I am exhusted. My morning sickness has gone wild and this weekend I havent been able to keep any food down. Starting to worry that I might have an infection/bug? any advice on what I should/can do? I thought the sickness would be easing off now. Dreading going to work!

Sorry to hear you're feeling so bad. If you do have a bug, you need to do your best to try and keep your fluids up as you could become dehydrated. Hopefully it will pass very soon! Take care of yourself

Sorry to hear you're feeling so awful

Hope today wasn't too bad at work. Maybe you should take a few days off until it passes

I have hyperemesis and find that I can only really eat small amounts at a time. The best food for me is a baked potato with a little cheese on it. I think the small amount of salt I use helps a little. I have cream crackers or something similar to top up at all times, because if I go longer than an hour or so without eating anything I start to feel very bad again. Oh, and most importantly, if I don't have enough sleep (MUCH more than I normally would need), I am very sick. So nap a lot but wait for a while after eating, because that makes it bad, too.

I recently graduated to raw carrots and celery with hummous, which makes me feel a lot better too. No apples, though!

Good luck!

thanks for that advice. Have sent the OH out for a pack of crackers and potatoes for baking! I am not sure he is finding this site as helpful as I am

Somthing I have found that makes me feel loads better is a piece of cheese on toast and tomato sauce. mmmmmmmm. Eating every hour or so even if its a piece of bread or drink a milkshake or juice. And lots of water . Hope you feel better soon xx

Hope u are feeling better

Like moss I had hypermesis too and it got that bad I was admitted to hospital - make sure u keep yourself hydrated and eat little and often.

I am feeling much better. Thanks for the posts. My sickness is still really bad, but I am managing to keep baked potatoes down so thanks for that advice!

Hi Siany,

Sorry you were feeling poorly

Hope you're feeling better! Looking at it from another point of view, it's good that you're getting strong symptoms!!
