HELLO DEAR,
I understand your problem, Dear first of all do not panic , To have nausea in pregnancy is normal especially in first trimester that is up to 12 weeks of gestation, to relieve symptom you can try ginger containing biscuit , small and frequent meal and to have 2 to 3 biscuits on getting from bed then every one hour to have something , you should have protein contaning diet more as compared to have carbohydrate rich diet. And also you can use medicine like pyridoxine 25mg three times a day then also if your vomiting not releived you can try emset once or twice a day then also not releived you should consult your doctor and get the thorough examination done to rule out other causes. all the best for ongoing pregnancy
Thanks
