I am 3 months pregnant and currently dealing with hyperemesis gravidarum meaning i vomit close to 30times every single day I can hardly keep down food or water no matter how little the quantity is I have tried all options but nothing is working Is there hope this will stop anytime soon

Please help me
Answer: Hi Arinola 
I am sorry about your experience This should stop or reduce after 3 months but in some cases it might not at that period 

One of the most important things to do is to note what food or substances trigger the vomiting or cause irritation and try to avoid them 

Another thing that can help is for you to eat small pieces of food over a period rather than a big mean at once

There have also been cases where drinking ginger based drinks have been found to help

Try to ensure you are hydrated as dehydration could spell huge danger for you and your baby sparkling drinks can also help Some sort of tight wrist bands have been found to be helpful

If you notice that your vomiting gets severe and you are feeling weak kindly ask to be taken to the hospital for monitoring to ensure you are nurses back to stability

I believe the above listed options can work and help you feel better but do keep an eye on how you feel for situations when you might need to see a doctor urgently 

Wish you a safe and sound gestation
