Hi there, noticed this is an older thread but sharing my experiences in case it helps anyone out there, as I know I was frantically looking for help in the form of virtual friends during my morning sickness stage not long ago :)
My sickness started around 6-7 weeks, I had been spotting early on so the nausea was a welcome relief that something was "there". However it escalated very quickly and by week 12 I was vomiting 5-6 times a day. It was really horrible and at one point I had to go to hospital because of a suspected tear/old blood coming up. I honestly felt like I was losing it, very very low mood, felt like I was going to lose my job, very isolated because this was the middle of Covid in London etc. Lots of times sitting next to the toilet telling my husband that I couldn't go on, this wasn't worth it etc.
I reached out to friends and midwives, importantly I also got in touch with Pregnancy Sickness Support (who have a specialty in dealing with hyperemesis), who helped me with "normalising" the idea of taking anti-emetics for the nausea. For some reason I thought (erroneously) that it was bad for the baby to take medication while pregnant. This is a very outdated view and probably skewed by the fact that I didn't have many friends who had had as bad morning sickness/had children.
I was on cyclizine for about 2 weeks WHICH REALLY HELPED. I would highly suggest that if you are suffering, to talk to your GP and get a prescription for these very safe medications. As my ob-gyn said, "there's medicine out there, there is no need to suffer".
At around 13.5 weeks, the nausea has simply disappeared :) It's been about a week and I am now eating like a teenager and feeling a LOT better. IT DOES END!!! Even if you feel completely rubbish now, I suggest that you take whatever medication is suggested by your GP, and know that there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel - sooner than you think!! Just take it one day at a time, know that some days will be better than others, tell everyone who is saying "take some ginger" to do one, and do what feels right for you :)
I also recommend reaching out to friends/professionals to seek mental health help, because pregnancy sickness is really horrible and you shouldn't have to endure it silently.
