At about 6 weeks into my pregnancy I felt sick to my stomach…
to the point I could not eat. I would feel
okay in the morning and at lunch – but then every day at about 4:00ish the sick
feeling would hit. I’d struggle to eat
dinner- my husband kept a watchful eye on me to make sure I’d eat something. It was good practice for my husband in
dealing with a toddler I guess, lots of “have one more bite” fights at the
dinner table during that time.
That sick feeling lasted about 8 – 10 weeks for me and I lost about 6 pounds total during that time. Before my experience I had never heard of anyone losing weight, I can’t tell you how many times I goggled “weight loss in first trimester, normal?” it was for me. My Dr. was never concerned and eventually the feeling passed. My Dr. did prescribe BNEXA a prenatal vitamin to help; I didn't have much success with it, although I do know one other friend that did find it very helpful.

How I coped
with my Evening Sickness
I have always liked Milk – I know lots of adults outgrow
their love for milk, but not me. Throughout
this entire time I have survived and thrived on Carnation Instant Breakfast
Milk Chocolate. I feel off if I don’t
have it every morning and I thoroughly enjoy it. When you don’t feel like eating this is what
helped me get through. I also ate my
fair share of saltine crackers and peanut butter sandwich crackers. I’m happy to report that in my 3rd
trimester I am eating well and have only had a couple nights where I felt nausea.
