Goodness, I have never known the thread to be so busy over the Bank Holiday - but time and Hyperemesis slows for no woman.
Welcome to KN35. There is a borderline between Hypermesis and bad pergnancy sickness, with one shading into the other often. If the cyclizine doesn't help much, do ask for other meds. A good anti acid does make a difference. How are the liquids staying down? It's worth investing in kesostix in case things do take a rapid turn for the worse, and you get dehydrated. Some drinks people say have helped are flat full sugar coke, ice lollies, the juice of tinned fruit, Lucoazade, Dr Pepper, Elderflower water, soda water, ice cubes, orange squash, for some orange juice, fizzy orange, Robinson's fruit drinks and sips of chocolate milkshake - maybe soya. For food - so called - cuppa soup, tinned fruit, slices of melon and mango, nibbles of crisps and chips, cornflakes, cheap ice cream, and some swear by baked potatoes.
53rdway I am so sorry you have been treated so badly. I am outraged that those midwives said those things - so ignorant, clearly, they didn't know how dangerous Hyperemesis is if you get dehyrated. As you are a veteran, I won't make the recommendations above. I so agree with others,do take the cyclizine. An anti - acid like Ranitidine can really reduce the nausea, too.
Songbirdnumber1 Really sorry that you are suffering from the scourge this time, if you escaped it the last. You've had great advice from others. Do ask for meds. They start on weaker meds and if those aren't effective, move on to stronger ones. There are some food and drink recommendations above. It must be so difficult with a two year old. As others say, nursery seems a good idea. Did you say you had my relatives/close friends who can help in the aera?
soashamed. Welcome, if you are new, but sometimes, people come on with a different user name, so I don't always know. If you are new, I hope the suggestions above might be useful. As others say, cyclzine seems actually to make some people worse, so do ask for other meds as there are a few they can try.
BergamotMouse I know what you mean about tea being unberable.
Sorry OH is getting impatient - would he read the guidelines for friends and family on the Pregnancy Sickness Support website?
Good advice from Bored and booandbump, Anitidae and others.
Was it StatisticallyChallanged who complained of an awful taste in the mouth? I found sucking traditional barley sugar which I got from an old fashioned sweet shop really hopeful, but it can increase the saliva.
emelsie I must admit, I have never heard of piritize, my ignorance is limitless. Did you say you were outside the UK? Would it still be possible to phone up the Pregnancy Sickness Support site for advice about that drug on 02476382020.
AW12345 and hotchocolate sorry the nausea persists.
Waves to everyone. Apologies to anyone rudely ignored.
