Re: endless nausea and puking-

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

I was sick throughout my whole pregnancy and I was VERY VERY

sensitive to dumping during. Bread with sugar more than 6grms would

send me to the toilet. Pre-pregnancy I could eat about 11-13grms of

sugar and be ok. I think it's different for everyone and not

everyone gets sick, for those that do my best advice is to really

listen to your body.

I had to stop taking vitamins, I could not eat ANY protein and I ate

basically what I could keep down which wasn't much. I did need help

for the first *few* months and then got the hang of feeling icky and

it let up a bit and I was able to manage as long as I ate every

hour. (yup, that's right every hour! even at night the hubby would

get up to make me something because if I let myself get hungry I

would have dry heaves and not be able to eat at all)

Best of luck to you...it's all worth it in the end.
