I've found my new best friend-----its the toilet. I HATE morning sickness and it's literally KILLING me right now. I go to the doctor monday so HOPEFULLY he'll give me some medicine. Does anyone have any tips on what works to make it go away??

    I wouldn't call it a best friend, more like an a bond that you can't get away from! But for you I will ask around, I'll even go and ask my sister in-law! I must value your friendship. I hope you feel better this weekend.

    Oh, I totally feel bad for you and understand the tight bond with the toilet these days. We were buddies this morning. When I was pregnant with Parker I literally threw up 4-6 times everyday for the entire nine months. I was SO miserable. Luckily I found a Dr. who prescribed some awesome medicine this time and I'm feeling a lot better.

    The first medicine is called Promethazine. It works wonders but it also knocks me out. I only take it if I am able to sleep for 8-10 hours, which really doesn't work with a little one running around.

    The other medicine I am taking now is called Zofran. It helps a lot and doesn't make me tired at all. It is the medicine they prescribe to people who are going through Kemo so they don't throw up.

    I would ask your doctor about either of them because they really do help. Another funny thing that the Dr. told me to do is to drink Powerade and/or Gaterade. I know it sounds weird (and who know, maybe it's just in my head) but the days I drink a big thing of either one are the days that I feel the very best. I figure it can't hurt because we are losing so much by throwing up that at least we are restoring a few fluids/electrolytes.

    Anyway, hope this helps! If you have any tips/secrets for me, let me know!!

    Sorry, one more thing... prenatal vitamins make me throw up so the Dr. gave a prescription for a folic acid tablet and told me to take chewy flintstone vitamins, instead. I think that has helped a lot, too!
