Nausea, Heartburn, and Throwing Up during Pregnancy
Nausea (feeling like you're going to throw up), heartburn, and throwing up are normal to feel in the beginning of your pregnancy. This handout will tell you what you can do to feel better at home. Too much throwing up can be dangerous.
If you have any of these symptoms, go to OB Triage. You're throwing up more than 4 times in 1 day. You feel dizzy, lightheaded, dehydrated (like you haven't drunk enough water). You haven't peed in 12 or more hours. You've lost more than 10 pounds. Your throw-up is brown or bloody. You can't keep food or drinks down for 1 day without throwing up.
If you feel nauseous--
Rest. Drink lots of fluids, especially water. Try eating cereal, bananas, or rice to settle your stomach. Eat frequent small meals and snacks that are high in protein. Try eating crackers before you get out of bed in the morning. Take ginger capsules (250mg) every day or drink ginger ale
or ginger tea. Take Vitamin B6 and Doxylamine. You can get them at the
pharmacy without a prescription. Follow the directions on the box. If you don't understand the box, ask a medical professional. Try acupuncture or wrist bands. Take your prenatal vitamin at night or with food. Don't eat spicy or fatty foods.
