Anyone else feeling very flat?

It may just be the tiredness, but I just feel quite low.

For example we are meant to be going out today, it should be a lovely day, the sun is shining. But I just don't want to go. None of my clothes feel right and I feel really uncomfortable in my own skin just now.

Doesn't help that I'll have to come back and then go out to work this afternoon.

Anyway. Just a moan really as I can't really moan to anyone in RL.

When does enough become enough for you ladies regarding sickness?

I can't keep nothing down, not even water anymore. I am physically and mentally exhausted from it all, my stomach is in constant pain from the vomiting. When would you say it's time to see someone being hospital/GP?

If you can't keep fluids down gem then you absolutely should get yourself to the hospital in my opinion.

Yes. If you can't keep down water you're at serious risk of dehydration. Go to the hospital or phone 111. Hope you feel better soon.

Get GP appointment. I have hyperemesis. In my experience, GPS are very risk adverse and they'll prescribe you some bullshit antihistamines first before giving you ondansetron, which is like a miracle drug. They'll test your urine. Come over to the hyperemesis support thread. We are all suffering!😭 you don't need to suffer anymore!

Hi - really looking for some reassurance please - I have just been for private scan, I am 8w, and they could see sac but no baby or hb, has anyone been through this? She said it might just be too small and has booked me in for next week but I'm out of my mind with worry

Oh Eva I'm so sorry that must have been so worrying. Could you maybe have your dates wrong and have ovulated late? For example,the midwife makes me 10 days further on than I am because she goes by last period rather than ovulation.

Will they re scan you?

@Eva30 - so sorry to hear that. The private scan place dated me a bit less along than I was, I was working off last period date. 🤞🏻 For you next week. Hopefully it was just a bit too early.

@Eva30
If you know your dates because you were tracking and you know you should be 8 weeks, then I'm afraid you should see a small bean with a heart beat. I saw one at 5+6 this time around.

I think you need to prepare yourself for the worst. I have miscarried before, and I had a scan at 6/7 weeks and my uterus was totally empty. They kept saying "maybe it's too early" but I knew... and I think you do too. I don't want to sound all doom and gloom but I didn't find it helpful having false hope for a week or so. It's a really horrible time but there's plenty of support on this forum. Thinking of you ❤️💐🌺🌸

So sorry to hear that Eva. I hope you are just really out with your dates

Thank you for your kind responses. I am certain of dates (have been trying for 14 months and tracking all my cycles on the fertility friend app) - I wish it was just that :(
@thingymaboob I think you may be right, I just have this feeling now that something isn't right. The sac was so empty

What should I do now, I think I have 3 options - go to EPU in the morning to find out for sure, wait for my first midwife appointment on weds, or wait for the next private scan next weekend?

How stressful and scary for you Eva I think you should definitely go to epu tomorrow morning. The midwife would surely send you there on wed anyway so if you wait you are just prolonging the agony of not knowing. Go tomorrow and find out for definite. I have everything crossed for you that it will be ok x

Fingers crossed Eva, it's not over till they tell you for sure....
Hope everything works out ok

Thanks maybebaby - you're right, thats what I'll do tomorrow.

Hi @Eva30 I would go to EPU. They can take bloods then too, which they'll repeat on Wednesday then you'll definitely know. I wouldn't wait until midwife appointment as she won't do anything apart from send you to EPU.
I hope you understand why I was so candid. I have been through it myself and I found it easier to come to terms earlier, rather than be filled with false hope.

No to be honest I needed that thingymaboob - OH was all "its just to early to see", bless him, but I was being more realistic and like you say, would rather not have false hope.

Hi all - any tips on all day sickness?? I've felt awful the last two days - dreading going back to work tomorrow - feel so very very ill!! Trying to look after weight too - rejoined slimming world but all I want to eat is carbs!! 7 weeks today - started at 8 last one hoping it doesn't get worse!

Hi pickled - unfortunately carbs are the only thing working for me. I have to snack on crackers and fruit all day with plain bread at lunch, after cereal for breakfast. It really does help though! If I don't eat often my sickness is horrendous. I also eat cereal or toast for dinner as can't stomach anything else. It's probably my very small portions and little and often eating but I'm 8 weeks and haven't put on a pound yet.

@Eva30 I am so sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed it's just a little early. What a worry for you xxx

Hi pickled, we're due the same day and my sickness is awful. All day, no let up. I've been signed off work as I literally can't function :(
Doc has given me anti sickness but not taking them as yet as I'd rather not...
if you're struggling go and see your doc

@pickledprogress
I had great expectations of doing slimming world whilst pregnant as my pre pregnancy BMI was 32. I have had hyperemesis gravida so that went out the window! At my booking appointment I'd lost almost a stone and my BMI was 29! Honestly forget SW if you're feeling sick.

@weasledee what meds have you been prescribed? I'd be in hospital if I didn't take mine!

@Thingymaboob @weasledee and @Rosehyd2 - thanks.

I have to keep an eye on my weight as although not huge - am still about 4 stone over what I should be. Lighter than I was last pregnancy - but I gained so much weight and I really don't want to this time! Think I need to be careful whilst eating little and often I think as food does help.
Might go see the dr if it doesn't let up - haven't been sick but the nausea has been dreadful this weekend! nothing has really eased it at all :(

Dog jumped literally onto my vagina and not stomach this time. Everything should be ok shouldn't it - 7+6?

Hi thingy, he's prescribed cyclizine (spelled right??) With my previous 2 pregnancies I wasn't prescribed anything but I think that was because I had an "old school" doctor then. As I'm managing to keep the fluids down I'm trying to last without taking anything.....
