Prompt 8: The Morning Sickness Survival Plan
When to use it
You're nauseous, vomiting, or unable to eat, and you want a structured plan for the next 1-2 weeks. Not "eat crackers" — actual steps.
The Prompt
I'm [N] weeks pregnant and I'm experiencing morning sickness. My current state:
- Severity: [MILD — nauseous but can eat / MODERATE — vomiting 1-3x/day / SEVERE — can't keep food or water down for 24+ hours]
- Worst time of day: [E.G., "all day" / "evenings" / "right after eating"]
- Triggers I've noticed: [LIST — e.g., "empty stomach," "cooking smells," "brushing teeth"]
- What helps a little: [LIST — e.g., "ginger ale," "lying still," "eating constantly"]
- What I'm currently taking: [LIST — including prenatal, B6, Unisom, prescription]
- I have help at home: [YES/NO]
- Work situation: [E.G., "I work from home" / "I have a desk job" / "I work on my feet"]
Please give me:
1. A day-in-the-life plan for the next 7 days (when to eat, what to eat, when to rest)
2. The medication ladder: what to try at each severity level (OTC → prescription)
3. Specific food/drink ideas for the worst moments (when even water makes you gag)
4. When this becomes hyperemesis gravidarum and requires medical help
5. What to tell my employer / partner / family so I actually get the help I need
6. The "you're not failing" reminder (because the guilt is real)
Important: I'm tired of being told to eat ginger. I want a real plan.Variables to swap

Example output
*"Day plan: 6 small meals (every 2 hrs), each ~200 cal. Plain crackers the moment you wake, before sitting up. Protein at every meal (eggs, nut butter, cheese). Sip fluids between meals, not with. Med ladder: B6 25mg + Unisom 12.5mg at bedtime (this combo is OB-standard). If no relief in 5 days, call for a Diclegis prescription or Zofran if severe. Hyperemesis = can't keep water down for 24+ hrs, lost 5%+ body weight, ketones in urine — that needs IV fluids. Tell work: 'I have a medical condition that may require accommodations for the next 6-8 weeks.' You are not failing. This is a medical condition, not a willpower problem."*
