Yesterday was a pretty good day. I slept in until 9:30am, laid around the house and even felt well enough to go to the store for a bit. I was feeling so good that I ate a full bowl of spaghetti for dinner. Two hours later, I went upstairs, took my prenatal and baby aspirin, and laid down in bed. Fifteen minutes later I was running to the bathroom. What gives? I felt good (relatively) all day, had a decent dinner and then couldn't keep it down.
The one thing last night's episode had in common with Thursday night's was that it happened shortly after I laid down to go to sleep. So now I'm afraid to lay down. When I lay down, I can almost feel the contents of my stomach floating up and trying to escape. I tried to prop myself up with pillows afterwards, but I couldn't sleep that way. So I tossed and turned all night.
On this week's agenda:
1. Try using pep.sid
2. Try using cl.aritin
3. Call my ob and ask for an anti-nausea prescription
Yep, I'm done being hesitant about taking drugs. Bring em on.

Yay for having such a good day. Sorry it ended so poorly, though.
It sounds like the pe.pcid would be a good idea if the vomitting is happening when you lay down. My OB-nurse told me that a lot of the vomitting is caused from acid-refulx and such. And congrats on deciding to take the antihistamine and asking for some meds! I know it's not an easy decision to make. It made all the difference for me! Good luck!!
I'm sorry you're feeling so lousy. :(
the positives - you ate a full dinner and had a movie out. let me know how the pepcid goes. i am on full time nexium and my doc has told me that once, if/when we get there, i get preggers, nexium is not on the approved list. i take it for non pregger reasons and i live and breathe by it daily, so...
cheers to feeling better.
xoxoxo
Glad you had a good day - hope you start feeling better soon.
Sounds yucky :( Maybe you'll have to stick with small meals and I wonder if tomato sauce exacerbated the problem - too much acid?
I hope you'll find a good way to manage it!

Hi - here via nacomleavmo
I'm sorry you're feeling so lousy but very pleased for your pregnancy.
I hope you get through this phase quickly. Perhaps small meals are best. I still get nauseous if I eat too much in one go. The books recommend small grazing type meals.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
Yay for happy pills! Hope they are working!
Just a thought but have you tried sleeping on your left side - something about it helping with digestion (true/false-i dont know but i do it)
