Wanted to check back in tomsay thank you so much for all the congrats. Sorry I haven’t updated more, things been hectic and I’m just excited not to feel sick any more! It just feels incredible not to need the meds all the time and to be able to do stuff and not have that feeling that everything you do will cause nausea and the constant dread of that alongside the actual awful sickness itself. It rewlly will end and you will survive!
We got home from the hospital yesterday lunch time and so glad to be home. In pain from the swction but tbh that’s easy compared to hg. I was so scared of fasting and not being given anti emetics on arrival at hospital to help comtrol things pre op etc but my lovely consultant actually called the ward when I arrived to make sure it was done straight away so I had ondansetron iv and fluids on arrival. I was first on the list for the day because of that and there was no waiting around after I arrived with all the paperwork etc they went through with me, it was all great. The op itself was a little stressful due to consultant obstetrician and anaesthetist overseeing the op but trainees actually doing it and the anaesthetist trainee I heard her say it was her first day and she did the spinal a bit wrong so it didn’t take properly and they asked me at one point if I wanted a general because it hadn’t quite taken all the way up but I didn’t! Made it quite stressful for me as I was already so nervous but they gave me a sedative to calm me down as soon as baby was born (which was in my plan because of anxiety) and that was good stuff 
. They also gave me more ondansetron and also stemetil and cyclizine via iv in the op and had them all written up for post op if and when I needed them. Now in bed with baby on my chest sleeping :)
Daisychain sometimes having drugs in combination rather than swapping one for another works better. I’ve heard headaches can be a side effect of ondansetron so that’s a shame if it gives you migraines.
Dead I really hope today is better for you.
Norbert I’m so glad you’re feeling more normal. My last month of pg was definitely my best. I was still deeply miserable and nauseous but it was a different level to the beginning. Hopefully yours will comtinue to improve.
Sorry not to namecheck everyone but just so overwhelmed and tired atm with baby stuff etc. Thank you to everyone on here for your support over the last months. This thread has totally got me through this pg. without the support and knowledge of people onnthis thread I really don’t think I would have got this far. Thanks to this thread I knew what I was entitled to have and ask for drug wise, I got the details of a wonderful nhs consultant in London who took on my case enough to instruct my gp to prescribe my meds that were a lifesaver, I found out about pss who were fabulous source of help and information and I had somewhere in life where I could go and just be understood. Lucinda thank you for running the threads all these years (as I know I popped on a few years ago before ttc as I didn’t know what to do if I could do it again. I remember you said to me you onoy had one and would have had another if you had your time again and my point to trying again was not wanting to live forever with regret wanting another but being too scared to be pg again so your comment rewlly was one that I deeply thought about in helping me decide to ttc again so great thanks to you).
The pink palace exists and is brilliant. I have a shopping order coming this afternoon with ALL THE FOOD I haven’t been able to face for months but really love and am actually want to eat it now! Fresh fruit, yoghurt etc. I rewlly missed it!
