Morning sickness- can't get out of bed!

I am exactly 6 weeks today and oh my goodness, I went from feeling nothing to not being able to get out of bed! Every time I stand up I get extremely nauseous, break out into a sweat, and either dry heave or throw up. I feel fine when laying down though. I don't know how I'm going to work like this! Any suggestions? Is this normal or does it sound more extreme? Thanks for any input!

Can you keep water down?



Here's what my doctor told me. I was really sick with my older two so I'm waiting for it to hit with this one. If it gets really bad, go to the walk in clinic and get iv fluids. I had to do that with my son a couple times a week for a few weeks as I couldn't keep anything down.



I know it's hard, but if you can shower, make yourself feel human, and get out in the sunshine you'll feel a lot better.


I didn't get out of bed with my first pregnancy and had severe HG. Staying cooped up made it so much worse.


Also B6+Unisom is miraculous.



Keep saltine crackers on your nightstand and eat a couple of them slowly before getting up out of bed. Also push fluids and definitely stay hydrated. I'm 6w3d and I've been in bed for the past three days. Popsicles and sipping lemon lime soda help also.



Oooo girl, 5w6d here & 2 days ago I was eating burgers, Mexican food, everything... 2 days ago I woke up & the taste of water made my stomach turn. Work was miserable! Today is better but I snack constantly & FORCE the water down. Blech, I'm going to try the B6, but no Unisom, trying to stay away from meds where I can. Good luck!

P.s. I hate to complain because I'm so grateful to have symptoms & for even being pregnant :) #rainbowbaby #firsttimemom



there are anti nausea drugs that are safe for pregnant women (there even is a little pregnant woman drawing on them) I have them at home but my nausea is on a break (had it between 4w2 and 4w6 and I am now 5w2 and no nausea anymore even though I have the feeling it will come back...)



Unisom and b6 was a lifesaver during my last pregnancy!
