hi,
I understand your concern.
Vomiting in early pregnancy is due to increased pregnancy hormones in mother blood, to which she is not used to. Severity depends on mother's tolerance to hormones.It usually subsides by 12- 14 weeks of pregnancy.
If you have it at 12 weeks, don't worry, it will be mostly self controlled within a couple of weeks. To manage,
- take bed rest,
- Take half a cup of cold milk, milk shake, fruit juice, soup,sip By sip.
- maintain good hydration
- avoid spicy, oily food.Or food you dislike to take.
- Pills like Doxillamine succinate ( doxinate), 2 pills taken at bed time help.
- eating dry food articles very slowly,before getting out of bed helps.
- In sever vomiting IV fluids may be given under your doctor's guidance.
Thanks.
