Question:
I am 7 weeks pregnant and have had morning sickness for the past 6 weeks vomitting in the evenings and nausea in the morning - it has gotten substaintally worse over the past 4 days - even though I am drinking 3 litres of water plus juice and milk (although I still have my coffees in the morning) and gingerale - I feel like I am dehydrating..... Not to mention my attitude is worsing along with my attention span and ability to stay awake - any tips?!?!
Answer:
There is no need for you to suffer from
nausea and vomiting in pregnancy as there are safe and
effective treatments. If you live in North America,
please call our specially trained NVP counselors at our
