Trying to breastfeed while pregnant

Go to the docs and get some anti nausea pills. They may not take away the nausea feeling completely but they should stop you throwing up and they are safe during pregnancy.

Rung and booked with the gp today at 3.50pm. I hope they can give me something. i ended up in hopsital last time on a drip and really dont want that to happen again.

Well i went to the dr and theres nothing she can do. she said that the anti nausea meds that i can take while breastfeeding (theres only one type) she wouldnt perscribe for me this early in pregnancy. She also said that if i didnt start keeping food down that i would have to go into hospital on a drip and kindly suggested that i might like to consider stoping breastfeeding - this really p**** me off because i asked if stoping would ease my ms and she said probably not but that i shouldnt feel bad about stoping because ive given him 8months. Now ive got nothng against anyone who formula feeds but i am able to breastfeed and enjoy it and was really annoyed that she was suggesting i stop. She also tried to tell me that henry wouldnt miss it and that its me who is attatched to it. GRRRRRRRRRR i was so annoyed. Sorry for the long post really had to get that off my chest

Hi Angel! Been there, done that & got the t-shirt. I had pretty bad preggy sickness (I won't call it "morning" sickness coz it was worse than that) with all three of my kids & I breastfed all the way through my 2nd 2 pregnancies & then tandemfed as well. I had the drips & the hospital visits.
I would highly recommend that you got to a health shop, get some natural stuff for your nausea & vomitting. Try sea sickness bands as well, I discovered them in my 3rd pregnancy & they helped. Accupuncture is good too. They don't completely take it away but they do help.
Now the nausea & sickness is caused mainly by low blood sugar levels. I know it is hard but if you can keep eating little & often even while feeling sick & after throwing up it will eventually come right. I used to find eating straight after throwing up helped keep the 2nd lot down LOL! Morning is the worst because of not eating through the night so grab some healthy snacks to pop on your bedside, set your alarm for half way through the night & have a midnight snack. Remember water is really really important. I put a couple of drops of lime juice in my water so it isn't so blnd.
At the very wost if you do end up having to go & get a drip put in then it really isn't the end of the world. The reason for this is more because of dehydration rather than for weight purposes.
Best of luck! And if you ever need any advice on tandem feeding them I'm your lady!
I had son #1 in 2004, 19 months later (after breastfeeding the whole way through) I had son #2. Tandem fed them for a YEAR, weaned son #1 and then 2 months later promptly got myself up the duff with my daughter. Again breastfed all the way through the pregnancy & then tandemfed them for about 9months. Just weaned #2 about 2 months ago so just feeding DD who is coming up one... Will probably wean her before she is three if she is like her brothers

If I were you, I would be going to another Dr. That Dr sounds horrible. You are allowed to be angry.

I had the anti nausea pils while I was preganant from about 12 weeks and its the same one I got in hospital when Ruby was about a week old and they were safe for breast feeding.

I can totally understand that you dont want to give up breastfeeding and there must be a way around it! It must be so tiring for you trying to give yourself energy and feed two little ones

Have you tried any natural remedies? Personally I couldnt find anything that worked so I just told the Dr I wanted pills!
