Soda

I have been pretty sick since I've been pregnant, throwing up, headaches, all the good stuff, but heres the thing, whenever I feel like puking, if I drink Pepsi, I feel better right away and the urge goes away... I know I hsouldnt be drinking soda but its the ONLY thing that seems to help. I even took meds to help with the throwing up and I can't keep anything else down unless I drink pepsi.

Drink you soda. Just make sure to brush your teeth and try to get water to stay. If you can't keep water or any food then you need to talk to your OB. You may have to go to the ER for fluids later if it continues.

I'm sorry you feel crummy.

There's nothing wrong with Pepsi if it's all you can drink right now. Drink it.

You could drink three cans of Pepsi and still not get as much caffeine as I get in my teeny cup o morning coffee. Caffeine is fine in moderation.

Like Prim said, try to sip water, too.

I am right with you. This is my 3rd pregnancy, and I have had hypermesis gravidum with all 3. Soda, high fat foods, etc are what get me through 1st tri.

You can get caffeine free pepsi at the grocery store, if you are worried about caffeine intake.

Also try lemonaide and pink lemonaide, they can help.

If your mouth gets really dry, your urine is dark colored, and you are not peeing very often, go to the er and get fluids. Dehydration is nothing to mess with.

Feel better!

If it keeps you from throwing up then keep at it. Just be sure you don't et dehydrated.

Just drink it. First tri is about survival if you have m/s.

A little caffeine is fine, so I'd say whatever makes you feel better as long as it's not in excess.  You might want to consider having some caffeine free pepsi around- that's what I drink and I think it tastes the same.  Good Luck!

This. I bring a coke to school every day and put it in my little fridge for the same reason.

If you feel better, I would drink it. I still get sick on occasion, and if something makes me get that nasty taste out, I will eat or drink whatever. Hope you feel better soon.

Have you tried some seltzer water? There are some flavored varieties.

I've tried everything people have suggested. Sucking on hard candy, crackers, many flavored water, juice, nothing else seems to work.
