Hey everyone =)
Ok, this is getting really hard and I just need to vent. I have had emetophobia (fear of throwing up) for about 10 years now. I am a little over 10 weeks pregnant and have been lucky to just get away with being nauseous. Food has always been a struggle for me, because of this. I've been doing good and eating very well. But last night I ended up feeling sick and panicky so I took a xanax right away. If I didn't it would of been much worse. I ended up dry heaving for about 15-20 minutes. Now I'm scared to eat again. TERRIFIED to eat again. I'm hungry, but am in tears when I even look at food now. Posted on 05/16/08, 08:05 am |

Oh sweetheart. I know how you feel I had have the same phobia for 26 years and have a son of 3 years. Please trust me it is very hard but there are so many things you can try, ask your doctors or some anti vomitting pills which you can take whilst pregnant and ginger is great. If you cannot eat try ginger nuts before I get out of bed. You could also try ginger tea etc etc. I managed to get through my pregnancy with no vomitting at all and now my husband wants another one but I am too scared at the moment as my phobia is particularly bad at the present time. If you want any more advice let me have your personal email and I will talk to you privately. Look after yourself X
