How can I deal with morning sickness and the body pains?

Question: I never figured out how to do this with my first daughter, who I don't have anymore. Is there a good way to deal with the nausea during the day? I'm looking for a job and I don't think anyone will hire me if I'm always sick. I also have body pains, but my boyfriend says he'll give me massages for the pain. But I need a way to get rid of the pain when he's not around. I'd appreciate any help and advice ()

Best answer: The most important thing right now is to stay hydrated. You really don't want to be dehydrated, so drink as much as possible. Take small sips so as not to overwhelm your stomach. Water can sometimes hurt an empty stomach, so try ginger ale with the bubbles stirred out (carbonation can also hurt your stomach), powerade or gatorade, or juice, if you can manage it. Other things that might work for you are popsicles or ices, and fruit--a lot of miserably pregnant women find that they CAN eat fruit, so try out different kinds if that appeals at all. For me, I found that I could eat (at different times) strawberries, grapefruit, and thinly sliced golden delicious apples. It was weirdly specific, but it kept me alive! You might also want to try adding peanut butter to your crackers. Peanut butter has protein, which will make you feel better if you can keep it down. You should try having very small "meals"--a bite of a cracker here and there when you can stomach it. A lot of people find that keeping crackers or something light next to their bed and taking a few bites before they even get out of bed in the morning. You will feel worse if your stomach is empty, so keeping food in it--even just a little bit--will help stave off the misery. If nothing else works, talk to your doctor and see if you can get antinausea medication like reglan or zofran. Good luck! (Nettle)
