First Trimester

Wife is 7.5 weeks pregnant and having morning sickness throughout the day which causes her to vomit several times in a day. The smell or thought of food just turns her off so much that she hardly eat, though she is still drinking water. Now she is also experiencing some chest pain and is feeling restless. Any mothers experienced it before and any remedies to help? Felt kinda helpless when i could not ease her uncomfort.

Hi there! Been there and still experiencing it though already in 2nd trimester :) What helped me during really bad days is eating plain crackers and other bland foods. Drinking fruit juice and 100plus/gatorade also helped me retain fluids from all the vomiting. Is your wife having heartburn? My gynae recommended to take gaviscon. Hope she feels better soon! Just be there for her :)

Yes! Gynae would not prescribe something that's going to harm the baby :) Morning sickness is hard but she does not need to suffer. Hang in there!
