Ok my wife is pregnant ! ! ! ! ! help?

Question

ok shes been pregnant for 2 months already and ever since the 2nd month started she's been throwing everything up ! why is this ? is it natural ? what can she do to reduce the "throwing up" because i think the baby is not getting any food at all either! thanks for the help ! ! !

Answer 1

Morning sickness.  Give it a month.  It will pass.

Answer 2

Morning sickness is normal the first few months of pregnancy. It'll pass eventually.

Answer 3

I wondered how the baby was getting food as well... but trust me it makes it...

its actually a good sign usually that she is throwing up, and its very normal.

I was horribly sick for the first 4 months, threw up almost everything.  Could only eat baked potatoes and crackers.  Don't worry, just make sure she tries to take her vitamins.  DON"T LET HER DRINK WHEN SHE WAKES Up.  It almost always made me puke later, she needs to eat crackers first, then take a vitamin and drink

Answer 4

I was horribly sick the first 3 months of my last pregnancy and with this one. I finally found out I could take 50mg of B6 and half a Unisom (sleep aid) at night and that would help with the nausea. It definitely did...I don't know how I would've taken care of our 2yr old without it. Tell her to consult her doctor about this. Hopefully she will be feeling better soon. Best of luck to you both, CONGRATS!!

Answer 6

Your wife is one of the unlucky girls who gets hit especially hard with the Morning (All Day) Sickness Bug. I have two friends like this and it's horrid to watch.

First and foremost, make sure she's taking in food at the time of day when she's feeling least sick (i.e. if her nights are good- eat then and go to bed...) so that as much food as possible is staying down. Make sure what she eats really counts (lots of protein and nutrients)...hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, fruit, so that whatever she gets to 'keep' is digested and passed onto the baby.

From there you can start to work on what doesn't make her sick...if smells are putting her over the edge remove anything in the house that triggers the sickness (I had candles that I liked prior to getting pregnant that made me nauseous while I was in those first 12 weeks) likewise, rule out any foods that are doing the same. There are pills that the doc can perscribe for morning sickness and your wife may or may not react positively to them. One of my girlfriends continued to 'eat everything twice' (as we began to joke about her continuous vomitting...) even on the pills. Otherwise you can try other remedies to get her on a more even keel...Preggie Pops (Google/Yahoo Preggie Pops to order or find stores in your area that carry them), sour hard candies, a finger dipped in ginger/ginger snaps (ginger is supposed to settle the tummy), Sea Bands (motion sickness bands for her wrists- check Walgreens/CVS, etc.) and drinking fluids.

Know that as miserable as she seems (and is) most women pass this phase by 12-14 weeks...be supportive for her (which is sounds like you are!) and keep her comfy. The good news is your baby sounds healthy and in 7 more months that's what counts.

Best of luck to you and your wife!

Im not much of a doctor since of my age but I do know that throwing up is pretty normal.  Well if it gets too constant then you should make sure thats normal just incase.  But I think it  should be fine.  Maybe the mother isnt eating a balanced diet or eating what she should be .  I tried to help.

Answer 8

Its normal, called morning sickness. I luckily didnt have it, but my sister did and her doc perscribed her some pills to take. She had it real bad...the pills helped. Have your wife ask her doctor what he can do for her.

Answer 9

i should pass :)

Answer 10

Have her try Saltine crackers when she first gets up.  If she is getting sick all the time,  she needs to eat very little portions more often and if that doesn't help,  let her doctor know and see if they will give her something.

Answer 11

Its called "morning" sickness.  I had some in the morning but it was worse at night. It's perfectly normal but can make you really miserable. Don't worry about her not getting enough food. Her Dr. will check for that and take care of it if thats a problem.But the baby will be fine. If she's not getting enough food to stay down the baby will feed from her bodies food stores until she can start keeping more food down. (I lost 25lbs. when I was preggie and I was perfectly fine) The only thing that ever helped me was to try to keep food in my stomach at all times. I kept a pack of saltines next to the bed and in my desk at work.  And I drank lots of gingerale. For most women it will eventually pass or atleast get better.

I hoped that helped and good luck and congratulations. Babies are beautiful little miracles.

I know some people here have mentioned "pills" the doctor can perscribe. They are called Phenigren and all they do is knock you out. It's hard to be nauseous when you're dead asleep. They didn't work for me b/c I had to work during my pregnancy. My boss wouldn't have been very happy about me sleeping on my desk at work. If she has to actually do anything during the day those "pills" are probably not the best option

Answer 12

Its just morning sickness. Its very normal. Most women have to deal with it. You can try having her eat saltines and ginger ale, just like you would when you have the flu. It should end in a month or two and then she'll be eating everything in sight. Don't worry too much, just take care of her. The baby and her wont starve to death. Also, make sure she's taking pre-natal vitamins. They help to make sure that her and the baby are both getting enough nutrition

Answer 13

Morning sickness is a normal part of pregnancy.  And don't be fooled by the name. Morning sickness can happen at any time of the day or night.   If she's concerned about excessive morning sickness or vomiting she can talk to her doctor to find ways to curb it.  For the most part, it will just be something she needs to deal with.  It's not fun.  Saltines or dry toast sometimes help the nauseous feeling to go away, but not always.  Normally morning sickness will go away at about the 12th or 16th week, but not always.  And for some women it goes away sooner than that.  Then again, some women suffer thru it their entire pregnancy.  I hope she feels better soon so she can enjoy being pregnant.

Answer 14

Its nice that you care for your girlfriend. Throwing up the first few months is pretty normal. Anything can trigger this throwing up, strong smells, food, stress. If she can't keep any food down maybe you guys should see a doc and they can help you come up with a diet that she can stomach. In the mean time you might try crackers and gingerale or sprite to help relieve some of those symptoms.

Answer 15

It's called "morning sickness" and it's completely normal

Answer 16

Answer 17
