Hi.
I'm ending up my 10th week. I've had terrible nausea. No vomiting but with the nausea around so much, I can hardly eat. However, I bought some ginger root. You should be able to get it at any grocery store. Cut up about a teaspoon full, put it in a cup and pour hot water over it. If you'd prefer, there are bags of Ginger tea. I bought the Yogi's Lemon Ginger tea. The first several weeks, I sipped on the ginger tea on and off all day and it really helped. I also keep Ginger snaps around (little round cookies -most stores carry them). For me, the worst thing I could do was to let my stomach get empty. Then the nausea doubled and then I couldn't eat anything. You should try to eat something every two hours or so to keep your tummy from being empty.

HOpe that helps. And if it gets much worse, don't wait till your appointment to call your doctor and get some advice.

Feel better soon!
