Sorry just looking for any advice ideas and sympathy. Too early to tell family and friend irl yet.

I feel so ridiculously sick.
This is my second baby and I'm over the moon but I'm so much more sick than last time. I'm only 6weeks +5 and I was sick up to 12weeks last time.

I cant function this time round, barely managing basic tasks before lying down because the rooms spinning and I feel like I'm gona throw up.

This was also me until around 12ish weeks so I definitely have sympathy! I am now 13+4 and still have really bad days but not quite as bad as before. My partner really had to do everything around the house etc. because I was finding it hard to even get off the sofa. I found that when I did have to leave the house sucking on fruity lollipops helped me a lot with sickness as well as boiled sweets. Hope you feel better soon x

You have my sympathy... its vile! You could contact your GP for some meds? Cyclizine took the edge off for me

My second pregnancy caused much worse morning sickness than my first. It hit me like a brick wall! But somewhere between 12-14 weeks it started noticeably improving and soon after it completely went away. I'm 20 weeks now and have had no nausea at all for over a month.

Speak to your GP about anti sickness tablets/wafers. They should help.

@titsoutforharambe glad theres an end to this, hope you can enjoy pregnancy too now 😁 I've just filled out an e-consultation for my gp describing my sickness and requesting some sickness meds so 🤞🤞 even if it just makes it manageable I'll be over the moon

That's good news!

Even if the first one you try doesn't work for you, don't give up! I was prescribed a couple of things initially that didn't do much for me, but then eventually was prescribed ondanzetron and it worked really well. I still felt a bit shitty and had no appetite but I was at least well enough that I was able to drive the car, change a nappy, cook dinner etc without crumbling into a sobbing pukey heap on the floor!

So if the first thing doesn't work then don't be discouraged. Something out there should help.

Fingers crossed you get something that works! I was 8 weeks when I couldn't take it any longer. By 12ish weeks I got to the point where I was just taking a tablet if I had a bad morning/day. Good luck!

So they prescribed me prochlorperazine. I feel a LOT better. I feel more like last time now. It wears off a bit but this is way better than before
