Questionhi, i am 22 and this is going to be my first pregnancy. my last period date was 9th may 2004, which makes me roughly 3 months pregnant.
my questions is. i have not been sick but i am constantly feeling as though i need to be sick. this is happening when i have had something to eat. the feeling that i am getting in my stomach is the pain that you get when you havent had some food for ages and i cant seen to get it to pass. is this normal?
thanks dawn.
AnswerIf your last period started on May 9, then you are now 16 weeks pregannt (4 months). We count conception from the first day of your last period. The nausea that you get after eating is quite common, but usually will subside after 16 weeks gestation. Try to eat tiny meals several times a day, avoid greasy and fatty foods, milk (until you feel better), and spicy foods. Nausea and vomiting usually disappear after 16 weeks and you should feel better soon. If it persists, see your obstetrician to make sure that you have no gastrointestinal problems. Good Luck.
