Pregnancy and preventing hyperemisis?

gooodone

I am looking/wanting to get pregnant again the end of the summer. I'm a fit mother of 2 and I am up to date with all health issues/check ups. Both my pregnancies I ended up on bed rest at 2 months in for hyperemisis. I threw up so much I ended up losing 15-20lbs in a week in both cases and played catch up with weight the rest of the time. I had to be put on medications (supositories) and slept most of the time. It was awful and I want to be happy, glowing, big round belly etc. Everything it's suppose to be!!! Does anyone have any suggestions for round 3?! I do want to say both children went to term and were/are healthy. But I still don't wish to suffer!!

Answer
I'm in my first pregnancy and had to deal with hyperemesis gravidarum. Lost 11.5 pounds and went right back to pre-pregnancy weight. The doctor prescribed Zofran for me, granted it does make a person drowsy but in my case I really didn't have to take it very long before I was eating normally again and enjoying being pregnant. It may just be that you need to try different meds. good luck!

why are vegetarians typically healthier than Meat eaters?

keelee, I think you are biased because when I am shopping its the meat eaters see buying the vitamins and having the wrinkly skin.
Oh, and I do know who is a meat eater and who is not. Very easy to tell just by seeing what is in a person cart.

gazeygoo, that's a myth of course.

kels, even vegetarians I know who eat chips, pop, french fries, etc.. tend to look healthier than meat eaters.
Vegan_Mom, salads themself are not un healthy. A lot of what we put on them though, is. Its typically the meat eaters that put all that unhealthy junk on salads, when they do eat manage to eat salads, too.

Vegetarians too, do eat more than salads. Some don't even eat salads. Many fruitarians dont. I myself dont either. I prefer my veggies seperate and a lone not allmixed up like with a salad.
Vegan_Mom, I don't either. Potatoes are pretty darn cheap.
Melissa, that's a myth.
"It's true that it takes longer for your body to digest meat than it does to digest carbohydrates - this is why meat helps keep you feeling full for longer. But your body still digests meat and breaks it down into smaller molecules to be used by your body."

Answer
Salads can be plenty unhealthy and fatty. Until my pregnancy, I was the only one on my husband's side of the family who did not take any medicine. Now, I'm taking a pre-natal. (I'm also taking a generic Prilosec to coat my stomach so I can take my pre-natal and so I don't feel my heartburn.) My in-laws are all overweight and they all eat pretty junky. Even my vegetarian sister-in-law probably weighs more than what I do, and I'm 16 weeks pregnant. (I'm six feet, 156.) She takes a multi-vitamin because she thinks she "needs" it as a vegetarian. I think she needs i t because she doesn't eat well. I eat whole, real foods. I avoid anything with whit flour, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils, hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors, artificial colors and anything that looks as though it was created in a lab by humans and not in nature by God. Granted, I don't have control over everything, like restaurants. However, tomorrow my husband and I are going to BD's Mongolian Bar-be-que and Mad Mex. They are both pretty healthy. I can get vegan stir-fries (with brown rice) and at Mad Mex, I can get whole wheat tortillas and soy cream cheese and soy sour cream. Not bad. (We might also go to Coldstone where I will get sorbet with chopped almonds.)

Days like this are treats for me. I can't imagine eating the junk my in-laws eat and then complain about my health and even saying it's from food. However, this is just me.

ETA: It also seems when I'm at a conventional grocery store like WalMart or Kroger (as opposed to Whole Foods or Trader Joe's) the overweight people are the ones who have junk in their carts. (I don't buy the line that junk food is cheaper than real food. We eat pretty darn cheap because I was raised with cheap habits, and I taught them to my husband and now we're both cheap and know how to shop and have learned some things as we have gone along.)
