Question:
I AM 2 MONTHS PREGNANT AND I HAVE VOMITTED ALL DAY LONG TODAY AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO EAT ANYTHING, IS THIS NORMAL?
Answer:
Talk to your doctor to determine whether your symptoms are caused by factors other than your pregnancy (for example, stomach flu or cold). If other factors are ruled out and the symptoms persist, then they may normal NVP symptoms. Your doctor can prescribe safe and effective treatment for NVP. In Canada, Diclectin has been used for nearly 40 years, exclusively by pregnant women. Other treatments are listed in our treatment algorithm published in the February 2002 Motherisk Update. For more information call our Motherisk NVP Helpline at 1-800-436-8477. Counselors are available Monday throught Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.
