Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 Hi all... I am 15 weeks pregnant and have been really sick since about 5 weeks. I haven't been able to hold any food down, nor vitamins at all during this period. My OBGYN assures me that my baby will take the nutrients it needs from my body and that it won't be in jeapordy from my lack of eating. I just wondered what your thoughts were. How long can I go without food before the baby is affected ? They tell me the morning sickness should end soon and I can resume eating, but as of today, I am still nauseaus. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks edd 6-18-03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 I know how you feel. I am 12 weeks PG and was suffering from horrible hyeremesis. I was rehydrated in the hospital once. My doc put me on Zofran to stop the vomiting. It took about 4 days to kick in, but it does work. I'm still taking it (its been about a month now). Definately talk to your doc about that. Mine also said not to worry just yet about not being able to eat, but it will become more important into the second trimester. But, I totally feel for you. It can really put a damper on your pregnancy (especially because I didnt have much morning sickness with my first). Hang in there and ask your doc right away. mom of , 2 yrs. old due July 15, 2003 > Hi all... > > I am 15 weeks pregnant and have been really sick since about 5 weeks. > I haven't been able to hold any food down, nor vitamins at all during > this period.
