I am 10 weeks. So far Morning Sickness has been bad but not crippling and I can usually stop myself being sick if I am at work/on transport etc.
Yesterday it changed into a different gear. I was sick every couple of minutes non-stop for 3 hours. It came out of the blue while I was out of the house. At one point I thought I would suffocate and die as I could not stop retching to breath. The doctor came out and was very sympathetic but said that there was nothing they could give me to stop the retching and if I got too dehydrated I would have to go into hopsital on a drip. Today I am better enough to sip drinks but not eat - partly because I am scared whitless of a repeat of yesterday. I had no idea a person could be that sick.
I have a history of emetophobia that used to be a big part of my life. I worked hard to beat it and have but today I am scared it is all coming back.
Has anyone been as sick as I describe? What did you do?
