[quote=Anonymous]I was queasy the entire first trimester with my 2nd baby. No real vomiting, more like feeling carsick. Everything I could think of or see to eat make me gag. Smells of most any type made dry heave. Toothpaste was too much.

I drank Dannon yogurt drinks. At the time, the size was maybe 4.5 oz. Lunch would be buttered saltines and dinner would be a plain baked potato or rice with salt and olive oil. I progressed to having a weird craving for Stovetop brand stuffing. This became my comfort food.

My trick: candy canes! Upon awakening, I’d suck on a candy cane (that helped soothe my hunger pangs that made me queasy) for a bit while I’d sit up in bed or walk around the house. The raised my blood sugar enough to quell the nausea enough to drink a yogurt drink.

I gained very little weight with my this baby initially, but he ended up being 8.4 and I gained about 35 pounds.

Hang in there, OP.

Tl; dr (and even reading made me sick first trimester):

Make smoothies! Sip and drink your calories.

Also: fresh air! Stay cool, literally. Hydrate.
Keep your blood sugar levels steady. [/quote]
