...and yes, it is Zofran I am on. Much better than the other drugs.

Well, I got home last night.
Tbh, I would have prefered a day or two more in to feel confident that the drugs are working, but now I am home and settled and the drugs ARE helping so I am very pleased. So damn weak from lack of food and movement for nearly 6 weeks, but no longer sick thank GOd!

I don't want to bang on about it, but thank you all so much for your support. It has been invaluable. I am not out the woods yet, but can sit upright and watch TV abd talk, so a vast improvement!

Nicky I am right there with you. I started vomiting on the train to work at 6 weeks and have been through cycles of horrendous sickness, going in to hospital to get IV drugs and fluids, feeling a bit better then back to the horrendous sickness since. I'm 12 weeks on Sunday and desperate to feel human again. I'm hoping that the fact that I can look at a screen without vomiting is a good sign. I think the worse thing is that dehydration seriously messes with your mind - I completely understand the whole mirage in the desert thing now. I have been through days when I could only really properly think about something for a couple of minutes before slipping back in to a horrible state of just existing. I couldn't even think clearly enough to properly think about having a termination but I remember wishing I could have a miscarriage (I had one earlier this year and I have wanted this baby for so long) even though I know there's no way I would.

Ondansetron/ Zofran really is the best drug. Having it IV was the only thing that has really helped each time I got really bad.

My other piece of advice is to not be a hero and struggle on - if you can't keep anything down for 24 hours just go to A&E. I waited for ages - sucking ice and clinging on to sanity before going to hospital and the lovely doctor told me off - staying hydrated is important and if you can't do it by yourself it's so worth getting it IV.

I really hope you feel better after the hospital and that the sickness stays under control.

Good to hear it, Nicky: hang on in there.

Good grief - I've just come across your thread Nicky and I'm horrified by what you've had to endure so far.

I'm pleased to hear that you're in hospital for now and hope that between everybody, you can come up with a combination of things to ease your symptoms so that you can start to enjoy your pregnancy.

thak you so much. I am in hospital now on various drugs trng to make this barable. excuse typing but usg patientline mimi keyboard! hope to feel better soon but already relievedto be taken seriously by medics. thanks forall the support.

nicky, thinking of you so much.

I've never had a termination but I've talked to a lot of women who have and what I would say to you is that there is very often a huge amount of grief, guilt and emotional pain that comes afterwards. I know at the moment it must seem as if nothing could be worse than continuing with this pregnancy, and I would never say termination if you can't face the alternative is WRONG, but I do think it might be a far more upsetting experience than you expect.

Do please please for your own sake explore every possible avenue to medical help before you take that step.

Nowt wrong with threatening it to doctors etc though, if it makes them take you seriously!

Dear Nicky. I am just coming out of Hyperemisis. Was off work for 12 weeks and unable to sit upright, read or get out of bed for about 6. I really wondered how I was going to get through and it didn't help when hospitalised and everyone kept saying "it will get better"
BUT I am now 18 + 4 and although still taking medication (which never stopped me feeling sick but did ease the symptoms, though I only realised this when I stopped taking them and felt even worse which I could hardly believe!) I am functioning, back at work and seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
So, best of luck, big hugs, HUGE amount of sympathy but hang in there.

Thanks everyone.

I know I keep saying it, but it does really help to come on here and read your replies. I am so God damned lonely stuck on the sofa/in bed for nearly 5 weeks now.

I am desperately waiting for the mw to get bsck in touch with me today re the consultant. Getting more and more desperate and angry the more time goes by. I don't know what more I can do to tell them how desperate I am.

God I'm so glad that you have written this thread. I don't have HG, but just severe ms, and yes, I hate this baby so far. When I had bleeds I was NOT bothered in the least if I had lost it...which sounds dreadful but the sickness and the constant nauseuous feeling is the worst I have experienced. It stops me doing anything. You are NOT alone....
