chepyl Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I am 14 weeks pg and water makes me sick. I can eat fine, drink water and I get sick almost immediately. At the very least, I have to sit still for a very long time. I am trying ice chips tonight. Some days oj helps, sometimes soda....really I am just having trouble with liquids in general. Anybody have this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpe Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I did for a lengthy stretch in one pregnancy. I made popcicles, and ate a lot of fresh fruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Are you vomiting otherwise or just from the fluids? During my last pregnancy, I was so sick and about weekly my OB would send me to the hospital for IV fluids. I always felt so much better after the fluids until of course, the sickness wore me down again. Maybe you are already a little behind the curve on your fluids and something like that might help. Otherwise, I am sorry but I don't have much advice although my first thought was that I wonder if you could eat watermelon or other watery fruit to help. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) I had to have IV hydration for all of my pregnancies. Everything made me sick. You should sip, not drink. I had to force myself to sip. You will have to slowly sip all day long. The previously suggested Popsicles is good too, because when you suck on them it's like sipping. Good luck!

jennsmile Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I loved frozen lemon slushes from Sonic. Lemonade in general always made me able to drink liquid. YMMV :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Just read post above. If you are already behind IV fluids help tremendously. if that's what you need, get them and then try to keep up. I couldn't catch myself up. I was able to maintain mostly once caught up.

MSNative Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 How do you do with different temperature liquids? Cold drinks made me sick when I was pg, but I did alright sipping warm drinks or brothy soup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgo95 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 :grouphug: I don't have personal experience (everything made me feel sick when pregnant, not water specifically), but what about sparkling water? A friend of mine went through case after case of it during pregnancy. I loved it with a little juice or squeeze of lemon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahm99 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I was in that same situation when I was pregnant with No.4... Take much care not to dehydrate...it can go fast... The few days I could keep some liquids down I was drinking water with pure lemon juice... :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 How about ginger-ale? It seemed to help me...and I was sick all nine months with my first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 My second son is made from saltine crackers and Coca-Cola. That was all I could eat during about the first 5 months. I took small sips of cola and ate a few crackers periodically throughout the day. I still threw up at least 3 times a day. Fortunately for him and me both, I had a store of fat to last long enough. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chepyl Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 I lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks when I could eat nothing....but I could drink water. Lemon in my water stopped helping a few weeks ago. I have been chewing on crushed ice all night, I actually woke up without a dry mouth. Although, now it is dry again. I have been truly sick once a day. Every now and then I have a day when I am not sick. A lemonade Susie sound Yummy....I wonder if ice and lemonade in my magic bullet would satisfy this craving I now have..... Temperature does not seem to matter, it is adding pure liquid to my stomache. I wish soda worked. A nice cold fountain coke calmed my stomach with the first two. This time, I just can't find what works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misidawnrn Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 How about Jello? It is a liquid. I also agree with the PP that said to try different temps. Or try the Crystal Light mixes that go in water. I hate plain water anyways so that might help. I think they even make gatoraid ones with electrolytes in them.

Thia Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Gatorade! And try it at different temperatures, as pp have said about drinks in general. There are lots of flavors, you should be able to find one tolerable. Frequent sips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Lemonade slush wins this round....I finished about 16 ounces and am feeling a little more energized. I am, however, freezing!!! That is the most liquid I have kept down at one time in a few weeks. I was drinking yogurt smoothies until dairy started making me ill. :( I love fruit and yogurt smoothness.

Watermelon, grapes, cantelope, oranges. Can you get some thickener to add to liquids so your stomach doesn't revolt? :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2samlibby Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 With my 2nd, I drank ice tea. It got liquid in me, but wasn't water, which made me sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I know with Moose I drank a lot of slurpees. I know they're not good for you. But at some point, I had to get fluids, and they didn't make me barfy, so I went with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
