Don't mind that husband of urs that is how they open their mouth and vomit poo as if he is not the one making u suffer I don't know why naija men are so insensitive. Pregnancy sometimes go like that but not all the time, it is common mostly with first pregnancys. Whatever u get down ur tummy pls eat as much as u can so u do not loose all ur strength, u might consider taking drugs that will stop or minimize the vomiting I will not mention any here cos am not a doctor and u shouldn't take drugs anyhow. If u feel ur getting too bad go to hospital sometimes u might need to be admitted so u don't get dehydrated. Happy mothers day

Pls talk to your obgyn. He or she would be able to tell you what you can do to minimise the effects. I'm sorry about your husband's attitude though, moreso you are newly wedded. You should tell him how you feel and the support you expect from him. There are articles online like on the babycenter forum you might want to forward to him to read

Ur husband shd beta fasten his belt very well. He think say na moi moi to become father. All pregnancies are not d same n he needs to understand that. The fact dat he sees people with pregnancy outside does not mean they didn't av challenges. Whether u're working or not what will be will be when it comes to early pregnancy sickness. At the same time u need to be strong or pretend to be at times cos most men don't get liver and use to be afraid cos they don't know exactly how u feel hence d apprehension.

U are not alone in dis. Mine is worse as in I start vomiting b4 a missed period and it continues thruout pregnancy. I vomit as much as 4-6times a day. I had my kids tru C/S and I was still vomiting on d theatre table, twas as bad as dat. I took all sorts of drugs, enuff pepper in my food(dat eventually goes d wrong way while vomiting ), dry biscuits, e.t.c. but none worked. My hubby is a medical doctor so he puts me on I.V infusion to keep me hydrated. Anyway, some women get over vomiting at 12wks. In all, pls see a doctor so u and baby can be in good health.

you are not being lazy. It's hormones going crazy varies from women to women. In my 1st and 2nd pregnancies, i had it easy with minimal nausea but this 3rd one is driving me bunkers. I throw up almost 24hrs daily and it hasn't been funny.

your hubby is being insensitive but it may be new to him. You can give him books to read on pregnancy symptoms or direct him to this thread. Try and take your folic acid, calcium tablets and any other drugs given to you by your doctor. It may or may not subside till delivery so you have to manage the symptoms.

If water taste bitter to you, try drinking any lemon flavoured drink, take grapes, any sour/bitter fruits or try snacking on crackers. All the best you are not alone
