I am severely nauseated today. I havent had a bowel movement in a while which is normal for me. I am wondering though being pregnant if this could be causing it. If so what can I safely take to get me to go? I eat saltines almost all day. Tums are my best friend and I do take a stool softener. I am hinting on my 11th week of pregnancy and this has got to stop!

Any and all ideas about how to fight the nausea would be helpful.

What can I do next?

HI please read...........I had twin (severe nausea) and my last pregancy was a girl (severe nausea 7 months!) I had to be hospitalized eventually. I was not keeping down water or crackers, nothing. I have severe constipation which I finally figured out it's from Prenatal Vitamins. I see a high risk pregancy Dr, always have had complicated ones. He suggest I can take Miralax for constipation. It works great. Nothing the dr or hospital gave me as far as nausea worked for me. I tried everything. Finally it got so bad my Dr gave me a prescription for a pill called Zofran. I call it the miracle pill!!!! It takes away the nausea and it doesnt make you tired.It is used among cancer patients and proven safe for pregnancy and for kids. I dont think asking your Dr for this pill would hurt. It can be pricey if your insurance sucks. Now ask for this if your nausea is so bad that you cant keep anything down which it could get to that point, you never know. Somedoctors you will have to act sicker than you are just to get them to lossen up on these pills cuz they are stingy about it, trust me.

Honestly? I'd see a chiropractor. I've been seeing one this entire pregnancy (I'm 34 weeks), and it has been amazing. No nausea, no pain, and I'm more 'regular' than I've ever been. It costs me $20/visit.

Constipation does cause nausea ( everything gets " backed up ") . I don't have any good tips to fight the nausea. Maybe eat high fiber foods, when you can eat.

You poor woman! Morning sickness is the worst! I had it through the 15th week with both of my pregnancies. I found crystallized ginger (the kind with sugar on it) helped with the nausea. Eating often did too - although all I could handle was carbs. I will say that fiber was my best friend - oatmeal, broccoli, brown rice, apples - anything that you can stomach right now will help. That and lots of water! Congratulations and good luck to you!

If you are constipated that can cause nausea but so can be being pregnant. I would talk to your dr and see what they say you can take for the constipation. I know not everything is safe right now.

Good luck and God Bless!!!
