[punk.rock.mama 101]

Highest weight 450lbs, current weight 220lbs! IUD went MIA and here we are. Having a phenomenally HORRIBLE go of it. The only time I am not quesy is when I am asleep, can't keep pills down, dehydrated...so worried about my choice to continue on...potential risk of harm to baby and self :'(

Also have moderate-severe fibromyalgia and am now in a wheelchair since becoming pregnant.

Anyone else have a rough go with POSITIVE results? Hints? Help!

Oh yes of course! I am still being seen by the Weight Management Clinic and have a specialist with the High Risk OB/GYN unit at the same hospital. I guess I am hping for any day to day tips/tricks/advice. I am in a mild depression due to my failing physical health and the stress is just the WORST! I have tried flat sugar free gingerale and soda crackers but that does NOTHING to combat the INSANE nausea

Congrats! Just wondering if you tried Greek yorgert for some reason whe I was pregnant milk products helped with my nausea maybe Greek yorgert with some Protein Powder. Help you get the Protein and you only need to eat a little bit.

Congrats! I'm 26w pregnant and the nausea and vomiting didn't stop until a few weeks into my second trimester. Zofran helped sometimes where I wasn't vomiting so much but was still nauseous. I have no tips cuz every woman and pregnancy is different but all I ate was deli meat and cold fruit in those days. Good luck!

I had to get fluids 3 times for dehydration. I still struggle now with drinking Water. Water is so gross now. Weird because pre op I would drink at least 10 bottles a day.

AGREED!

I have a question. Did anything help with extremely bad nausea? I am sick 24/7 and now getting to the point I'm hardly able to keep food in me at all. Im trying to get myself hydrated again and dealing with low blood pressure and I sleep all the time. Has anyone else dealt with this and is there any help??? Everyone thinks I'm crazy that I'm feeling this bad at 8 weeks but I am.

Weeks 7-9 were def the worst for me with nausea. Trying to eat something small every 2 hrs Helped some. It has gotten a little better since then. Also taking zofran which helps a very little bit. Ck on taking Vitamin B6 & unison daily as it is supposed to help too. I've been taking it at night but not sure if it works or not. But I was desperate to try anything!

Anybody know anything about Protein in the urine while pregnant?

[jerz 251]

Zofran helps a lot. And at each visit I have Protein in my urine but not to the point that my doc is worried.
