i feel like im dying!!!!!

edited January 2011 in Pregnant
So I am about 8 weeks pregnant and I feel like I'm dying. Ever since I first found out at the beginning of the month I have been nothing but sick. I have tried everything but I barely eat and can barely keep things down. It seems like all I do is sleep n feel crappy. I don't know wat to do n the dr doesn't wanna see me until the 16th. I have lost 15 pounds jus this week alone... wat do I do? I need HELP!!

    its normal ppl will lose more weight then they gain. Ur jus goin have a rough pregnancy. But b n that ur sick now it might stop before the end. U will b fine. Drink lots of fluids n get rest.
  • Everybodies pregnancy is different u will b fine.
  • Tell ur Dr right away about losing that much weight they can prescribe u Zofran 4 it b4 they see u. It's safe in pregnancy too. I'm on it too after being just like u and now I can eat. It can make u drowsy tho but many ppl including me suffer from pregnancy fatigue. It should go away in ur 2nd trimester. As for now u don't have to suffer. Gl hun.
  • Just try to drink fluids if you can. Usually goes away after the first trimester. I couldn't eat at all. Try a real ginger ale, or ginger tea. Ginger settles your tummy, and water is actually hard on your stomach when its upset. Last down when you can. Get up slowly, and try keeping saltine crackers by your bed. Eat a few before you get up, and when you lady down.
  • *lay not last..
  • Ginger does help and crackers. I really hope it gets etter I was the same way. Mine lasted longer than some 19wks ut my sis n law who is due 4 days after me was super sick like you ut hers went away.
  • Well the Dr did call me in meds but my insurance hasn't went through yet so the meds are $120.00 and I can't afford that right now :( I'm going to try to get into the Dr tomorrow I can't take much more of this
  • Ya that's expensive. But ur Dr may have samples to tide u over until ur insurance is approved for them.
  • I had the same pregnancy. I was sick from 6weeks till about 18. And it wasn't even that bad. I guess it was 4years ago lol so at the time it probably was. I threw up everynite after dinner, if I smelt perfume or ciggies, or if I got in a car or any public transport.. after giving birth I weighed 5kilos less than what I did before I got pregnant lol. But everything was fine and I had no problems at all. Hope that helped :)
  • The dr called me in some meds but they haven't helped at all... I have been throwing up worse then ever! :(
