Hi! I'm male, and my partner is 6 weeks pregnant!!!

well we went up to see her parents in the Easter, and 4~5 hours drive caused her to throw up a few times. Now we are back at home, but she is not feeling well.(she says she feels as if she has car sickness)

She has not been eating well lately.. mainly water or bites of snacks(crackers and chips).. she has a decent figure but i think she is starting to lose weight because she is not eating enough.

Please advice.

Thank you.

I forgot to mention that she is a vegan.

I got sickness too, tell her to eat small meals more often, It does make you feel better.

Is she taking folic acid?

daisukem

yes she is. She forgot to take it with her for the Easter so she missed it for 3 days.. but she has taken one today. Still not feeling well.

I hope she is feeling better soon.
Tell her to eat small meals and it will make her feel better

As the others have said, eat little and often. However, if the sickness is so bad that it is causing her to loose weight, she should see a doctor. Better to be safe than sorry. You don't want to put her or baby at risk.
Good luck.
to her.

i used to have a rich tea biscuit before i even got out of bed in the morning, i hated the sickness and lost a little bit of weight also to begin with but dont worry shell soon make up for it lol
definately little and often helps, but we are all diff, i think if she has severe sickness they can give her something for it but ask your midwife!!

good luck

i had severe sickness, couldn't keep anything down & lost 9lb. my midwife advised me that as long as i was keeping fluids down and tking folic acid not to worry this early.
the sickness is awful but trust me it does pass eventually!!
we are all different but i hope she feels better soon x
