hi there! you can ask your ob/gyn about a safe anti-nausea & vomiting medication called zofran. i have a friend that's pregnant and is a nurse and her dr. prescribed this med as safe for use during pregnancy. i personally take it also for severe nausea, but i'm not pregnant. try mentioning it to your dr. Hope this helps!

When I was pregnant the first time many many years ago, I couldn't raise my head out of bed in the morning without getting sick. My doctor had me to eat saltine crackers lying down before I even raised my head. It worked like a charm! Before this my husband used to make himself peanut butter toast. It made me so sick to smell it I couldn't eat peanut butter for years! It may be worth a try with the crackers. Know you don't want to take anything med wise unless you have to. Good luck & congratulations...

I had hyper emesis gravidum "morning sickness" with both pregs. The second (girl) being the worst. I tried it all, nothing worked. Be careful with any meds even though they are sapposed to be "safe" be careful. I vomitted so much i was hospitalized several times for dehydration. The best thing eas afterthey "topped my tank". Keeping Hydrated actually does help.Small bland frequent meals. I also had to find the right prenatals as some of those made the N&V worse. I had to take them at night. I used benadryl occasionally to help which worked for me better than any RX. But I used it sparingly. Ginger ale, Ginger tea and tummy tamer teas too. There are many herbal teas and supplements that help some people. Go over it with your doc. Do your best to keep that baby hydrated though, I know its hard when your not feeling well but even small frequent sips if you can. Sports drinks also can help replenish electrolytes.

if OTC meds like Benadryl (often used for nausea) don't work, then go to your doctor (OBGYN) and ask for a prescription medication. There are many types that won't be harmful to your baby. These include Reglan (Metoclopramide) category A, Zofran (Ondansetron), category B, and the first line treatment is Metoclopramide - category B.
All As and Bs (with some precautions) are safe to take during pregnancy. Category C drugs can be safe but the "C" listing means there are no reliable studies showing whether they are associated with pregnancy complications or damage to the fetus, but also little or no evidence they do cause harm. I'd still stick with As and Bs unless your doctor advises otherwise.
