Consult your doc: Episodes of vomiting to the point of dehydration are not rare in the first 12 wks. Hospital based rehydration with iv's is occasionally necessary if you cannot keep enough fluid down to urinate every 6-8 hours or are loosing significant amounts of wt. Keep in close contact with your OB & they can sometimes coax you through some home based therapy. Baby is usually insulated against a direct effect.

Don't get dehydrated: Nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy is common. Sometimes lasts for the entire first trimester. More rarely some women will be nauseous until delivery! sips of gatorade will help you from getting dehydrated. Medicine for motion sickness like dramamine (dimenhydrinate) may help your nausea. But if nothing works, you should see a doctor (even if urgent care) to get checked out and get hydrated.

Hyperemesis: Some nausea & vomiting in pregnancy rates high enough to warrant the diagnosis of hyperemesis gravidarum. This is not a time to be losing weight so control of vomiting can be important. An ultrasound can reassure women about their pregnancy and rule out molar pregnancy which can also induce severe vomiting in the first trimester.
