I feel for her.<br />Take Rachel's advice and talk to the Dr. about it. If it is normal, no worries. But perhaps it would help her if she took something to help stop it. I couldn't gain the weight they expected of me no matter what I did, but all in all, I ended up having a healthy baby.<br />Everyone's different.<br />Anyway, J. Good luck! You're a Prince to be so thoughtful to your wife, even if it is draining you. :DMel Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200734886454147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16939453.post-13813328554737415132010-03-27T10:22:24.117-06:002010-03-27T10:22:24.117-06:00Hey, I feel your pain with pregnancy sickies. I do...Hey, I feel your pain with pregnancy sickies. I don't know details about your wife's situation or just how bad her sickness is, but have you heard of hyperemesis gravidarum? It's when morning sickness goes FAR beyond normal. If your wife is throwing up many times a day, losing weight, and unable to stay fully hydrated, she probably has it. There is a wonderful community of women at www.helpher.org that would be an excellent resource for you both if you are interested. I had HG in all of my pregnancies.<br /><br />Even if her morning sickness is not quite to that extent, I recommend asking her doctor about Zofran. It's an anti-vomiting med that can really make a difference. There are other meds on the market but trust me I know all their side effects and issues, and Zofran is far far better than the rest. Even if your wife is more nauseated than actually puking, Zofran might help some. Another thing that helps with nausea is Vitamin B6. <br /><br />Also, I'm happy to talk or share my story with you if you think it might help you out. Best of luck and I'm thinking of you!Rachel Drydenhttp://www.facebook.com/racheldrydennoreply@blogger.com
