Symptoms getting worse in second trimester?

[afternoontwee]

I'm 14+2 and thought this was when it was meant to start getting easier... instead my morning sickness is getting worse, I'm absolutely shattered to the point of wanting to put my head down on my desk in work and generally feeling awful!

I've had nausea since 7 weeks but around the 10-11 week mark it really kicked up a gear and now I'm throwing up 1-2 times a day on a good day and 5+ times on bad days. All the usual remedies are doing nothing for me. Is this bad enough to head to the doctors do you think? I'm wary of heading there and taking time off work to go if they're not going to think it's bad enough to do anything about!

Anyone else in the same boat?

Go to the doc!! Mine was awful until week 17; signed off work for 6 weeks, vomited blood from puking so much. There are meds that can help; cyclizine is the most likely one they will try.

I empathise completely OP!
Had a tough first trimester due to ALL DAY sickness - whoever confined it solely to "morning" needs lynching IMO

Finally thought things were getting better and then doc signs me off sick for two weeks ( was offered more too!) as I'm getting terrible headaches, migraines and am just exhausted.

Can't really help you in any way at all, other than give you a hand hold. It's all going to be worth it after all x

Oh sorry forgot to mention..

Metoclopramide, I think it's called.

Next step after Cyclizine - magic!

Thanks all - I think I'll make a doctors visit after all. Doesn't help that my work is extremely stressful at the moment and my team are being sympathetic but I really need to pull myself together! Wish I was able to take time off but it's just not possible.

KateTTC123 - yep I've had blood come up a couple of times now, definitely just from my throat with all the retching but still gross
