Hi,
It is common to have vomiting at this stage of pregnancy, especially if this is the first time. It is very uncomfortable, but there are certain techniques that may work. Firstly, take the anti emetic that your doctor has given you, on empty stomach and follow it up with some palatable food avoiding excess water. You can take the daily required amount of water at intervals. You can take lot of fresh fruit juice that does not cause acidity, dry fruits and nuts and avoid fatty and fried foods. Also, avoid excessive stress as anxiety aggravates the problem; and remember, this is not going to last forever, it will subside in no time as the pregnancy advances. Please get further advice from your doctor. Good luck.
