Question:
I'm only 4 weeks along and I have morning sickness
24/7. This is making work near to impossible and I
have a full time job. I cant sleep at night because im
constantly sick. Now I know im dehidrated so im trying
to stay constant with water and crackers, but its hard
to hold it all down. Ive had a very weak system my
whole life, but this is terrible.
Do I have 8 more months of this and what are your suggestions to help get control of my system?
Answer:
I am sorry to hear that you are so sick, however I am
happy to inform you that there are safe and effective
treatments for morning sickness so you do not have to
suffer.
