Struggling with sickness

[Gingerlady123]

I am 16+1 today with vomiting and nausea still going strong.
I feel constantly sick and am throwing up about three times a day despite being on medication to help sickness, without this I was throwing up 5-6 times a day.
I've had this since week five and as soon as second trimester hit it got a lot worse and now I feel constantly sick.
Doctors won't sign me off work and I feel awful. I come home most days in tears.
When does it end ?

Why won't the doctor sign you off? Maybe you could see a different doctor?

I can only sympathise - with my first pregnancy I was only sick a handful of times but felt hugely nauseous every day of the pregnancy... the whole 40 weeks and 4 days! I am now pregnant again and TERRIFIED that its happening again as I actually feel worse and am throwing up 2-3 times a week. I don't know what to say, its awful... I come home in tears a lot of evenings... my poor husband just feels so bad... but there's nothing I can do. I'm lucky though, my work are being super understanding and i'm working from home a lot. If I were you I'd see if another doctor will sign you off, even if its just for a week - the rest might help?

Well, I was sick this morning and I am booked in to deliver tomorrow (sorry.)

I really sympathise, severe sickness is truly miserable. I struggled through till 30 weeks but then got signed off (for that and spd, I was a real mess.)

The point is that although hopefully it will ease up, it may not, and it just weakens you the longer it goes on. I think you need to go back to your GP, ask for different medication to see if that works, and explain how awful you feel. Perhaps even if they won't sign you off you could get a fit note that lets you work from home, or do reduced hours.

Have a look on the hyperemesis thread as well - some wonderful support on there.
