Try the prenatals, but remember in some cases they can make your nausea worse in the first trimester. Try it and then if it doesnt affect your nausea much, continue it! :)

Poor thing! I completely emphathise, I had morning sickness (all day though) throughout my entire pregnancy. As shaf said, definitely try and snack regularly, and keep hydrated, I know it is difficult. I have heard ginger is supposed to be good as well for dispelling morning sickness. TBH I tried everything at the time, and nothing worked, so I have forgotten all the methods. I just ate regularly, my body craved breads and pasta's so I ate them (even though I am gluten intollerant). Definitely, start taking some vitamins, particularly if you are struggling holding anything down. I took pregnacare plus (which had the added folic acid), I used to take it as I was getting into bed each night because I found they made me feel even worse if I took them during the day, but at night, I was stationary, so they didn't get churned around so much. Good luck, most find the morning sickness goes away about the 12 week! And trust me, even though mine lasted the entire pregnancy, the result was so, so worth it!

Poor you! the first trimester can be hard! But do try to nibble something every 2 hrs.. distract urself and try to eat.. oh and try ginger biscuits and the smell of lemon. I used take a shower with strong lemon scented shower gel. It helped me. Dont worry.. few more weeks and it will be gone inshalla! U can take ur prenatals if u want.. but for my first pregnancy, i dint start them till week 12, and for this pregnancy i keep forgetting to take them :)

I am on my 7 week and I cannot eat due to nauseas and vomit, I feel like I am starving and feel week. I am taking Folic acid but not other vitamin. I wonder if I should be taking prenatal vitamins?.
