I am almost 9 weeks with DC2 and have just been so ill with this pregnancy. Since about 5 weeks I've been throwing up regularly (a good few times a day), this has reached the point where I am now just being sick constantly, nothing stays down. I can hardly get off the sofa, any movement seems to trigger vomiting. Generally I've been feeling that I'm managing ok-ish with fluids but at the weekend I went through a phase where even water came back up. Ended up in hospital where I was given a cyclizine injection (worked wonders, and for an afternoon I felt reasonable again). After some begging (they were keen to keep me in and put me on a drip, but I felt so much better) I was dicharged with cyclizine tablets.
I haven't really been taking the tablets, as feel that I'm back to being able to keep fluids down (although no proper food). Realistically I imagine that I have a few weeks of this to go. I'm so tempted to take the tablets just to feel a little better and get some nutrition down me, but at the same time am very nervous about taking any drugs in pregnancy.
I think I'm just feeling a bit sorry for myself and would love some reassurance from anyone whose been through hyperemesis and/or taken cyclizine without them harming the baby. I was on such an obsessive pre-conception health binge (having had a couple of MCs since last DC) that the prospect of my baby's nutrition coming from the occasional slice of toast alone terrifies me. I was sick with my last (full term) pregnancy, but nothing like this - I think I still kept a reasonable amount of food down. I've had a scan and there's definitely only one in there!
