Avomine for sickness - anyone used it?

[PussinJimmyChoos]

Was prescribed this today for the severe sickness I've got...a bit about taking any drugs in first trimester but have heard its safe

Thing is, it does seem to be geared towards women who are acutally vomitting and I'm not, just a lot of gagging and dry wretching, along with feeling very sick - will it still work??

Haven't got the prescription filled yet - bit scared tbh

.

Glad you've been prescribed something Puss.

I don't have experience of that drug (have had promathazine and cyclizine) BUT since GPs are so cautious about prescribing drugs in pg you can rest assured that anything you are prescribed will be pretty safe.

Hope it starts having an effect soon.

Still haven't filled the prescription but had a bad day today...so exhausted I slept most of it...this is seriously getting me down. I don't feel part of RL anymore, I hate DH having to shoulder the burden and I'm not doing as much with DS as I used too

take the drugs!! don't be worried or ashamed or a faliure. Avomine has been taken for years in pregnancy. Give it a go and see if it takes the edge off. Really really feel for you there. My sickness seems to be better sometimes now, so at least I feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Oh, and don't be worried about DH doing more than usual - you're doing more than enough work just by making another person!

I just don't feel there is light at the end of the tunnel atm

I'm 10 weeks according to lmp next week but I had early scan and I was a week behind due to ovulating late so that actually makes me only 9 weeks and all I can think is fuck....fucking another three weeks until 12 week period and perhaps another three weeks of this...its awful

Really feel for you, I went through it too but don't have any other children and can't imagine how much harder it must be for you. Remember that your Hcg levels are at their highest this week so although they say that it lasts until 12 weeks it won't be as bad as how you're feeling now. I was definitely at my worst weeks 8 and 9 and then I started getting some respite.

It will pass, I know it seems such a long time but rest as much as physically possible and please take the tablets, they won't hurt your lo.

Sending you lots of positive thoughts x

Yes, definitely TAKE THE DRUGS!

Sending you lots of sympathy and well-wishes .

Totally feel your thoughts pussin. From the second I found out I was pg I have been counting the days to feeling less sick. I swear the past couple of months or so have been the slowest IN MY LIFE!! What happened for me was 9 weeks was bad and I felt like I'd never get through it or cope and although I really want a child I just wasn't sure I could manage another minute of being pregnant(and that was with the drugs!). From about 9 1/2 weeks I started getting an hour where I felt a bit better and this has been gradually increasing - so hold tight and just be pleased at the end of every day that you've got through another day. I still feel really sick most days in the morning and evening and it's terrible and I feel like I can't cope, but at least I tell myself I usually get quite a few hours in the day where it's OK now. I even (said very proudly) managed my first shopping trip out yesterday in over 10 weeks...ok, so it was only half an hour hunt for maternity jeans and I didn't find any nice ones....but a week ago this was a distamt dream I thought I'd never manage.

It must be so hard having another child to have to look after, just try and rest as much as you can when you can and do as little as possible.
