Thread: Is my baby still gettin the nutrition it needs?

Im 9 weeks pregnant and dealing with morning sickness. I stay nausuated and throw up several times a day. With me throwing up the way i do is my child getting the nutrition it needs to grow. is it affecting my baby? I take my prenatal vitamins everynight right before bed so i will be sleeping while they are goin thru my body. Im afraid if i took them during the day i would throw them up. Is my baby gonna be ok and still grow properly? I know right now is the most important stage.

right now the baby's demands are very small, and it will get everything it needs from you.
the only thing to be concerned about is your hydration, do not allow yourself to become dehydrated as it can lead to preterm labor.
i was sick all day every day for a few weeks around that time as well, and i was worried (even lost weight) but my baby is just fine!! i'm 28 wks now.

congrats & good luck!

Right now, your baby is so tiny, and it receives everything it needs from your body. While you want to do what you can to ensure your baby is healthy, prenatals aren't necessary right now. My OB told me this with my first one because I couldn't keep anything down for weeks. You're doing everything you can do right now. Stop worrying and enjoy this wondrous time with your little one. There's nothing like it.
