NVP Counselor

Question:
I am just starting my 14th week of pregnancy. I have had terrible nausea, dry retching, and some vomitting since week 5. I have been told by my doctor and others that I should be feeling better and more energetic by now. It's very frustrating that I'm not. Should I resign myself to the fact that this may continue throughout the pregnancy?
Answer:
You did not say whether you are being treated
for your NVP as there are safe and effective
treatments you can use. Unfortunately, not every woman
feels better by the 2nd trimester as your dr and other
people told you. A small number of women continue to
suffer throughout their pregnancy and you may be one
of them. For more information on the treatment, please
call our toll free NVP Helpline 1 800-436-8477 and
speak to one of our specially trained counselors.
