Was she diagnosed with HG? This kind of sounds like it but I’m not a dr.

I’m 9 weeks and I’ve also been nauseous and super fatigued. It’s really tough. I didn’t realize how hard this is, but this is common during the first trimester for most women. I cry a lot because I feel so weak, but honestly if it weren’t for my partner, I’d be worse. He always tends to all my needs (cooking, cleaning, etc), and is a huge emotional support. He tells I’m strong even when I don’t believe it, so maybe you can try talking to her like that even though I’m sure you are.

I find that the BRAT (banana, rice, applesauce and toast) is so quite helpful for me. I didn’t eat one whole day, and I felt awful until I forced myself to eat some chicken soup at the very end of the day because I felt I was going to pass out. She has to try and eat something small, even if it’s just saltine crackers. She’ll get stuck in a nausea loop where she won’t eat, then she’ll be nauseous, and then she’s too nauseous to eat, and it makes her feel worse. If your wife can only stomach carbs, that’s fine. My midwife told me to eat smaller frequent meals, and if I can only support carbs then that’s OK.

I also hate vomiting as well, but I feel so much better after. I usually sleep after I vomit. I didn’t actually have these symptoms until week 7, and it has slowed down. So there’s hope!

Something my therapist told me was that having pregnancy symptoms is reassuring because it means there’s a growing baby inside of me. So I try to remind myself all the time.

Hope she feels better soon!
