Hello! I’m on my 16th week (2nd trimester) and am still vomiting daily, so I feel you. I spammed sour plums and ginger tea, though it didn’t really helped much than take away the bitter taste in my mouth.
What did help — and is still helping me — is taking Diclectin. It’s the safest morning sickness med right now. I control the amount I take (once a day or once every 2 days if I can manage) because I hate the side effects of drowsiness and mind-fatigue, but it honestly helped me to keep some meals with my prenatals down for nutrition.
You can also find the short 30mins-45mins wave when it sometimes subsides a bit (you’ll know it when the taste in your mouth is suddenly a little normal or the nausea is at 10% barely there), and grab the chance to eat something like carb-y. I also relied a lot on flavoured drinks (choosing no sugar to relieve the guilt) as water tasted really bitter.
To cheer yourself up: This could be a good sign of a healthy baby! 🥳 Despite me vomiting almost all my food + puking up to 8 times a day, my hCG levels were great and during my 12w and then 16w check ups, the baby was growing larger than the usual size in a good way. ☺️🙏🏻 Takes away all my “Mom guilt” for not being able to feed it well during this bad period.
Hope this helps eases you!
