MsChatterbox Welcome. Sorry you feel so foul. If you feel so ill so early then unfortunately it is most likely Hyperemesis. Everyone is very supportive on here. As abbs1 says, please don't worry about meds because of old horror stories; these days meds are carefully checked. Cyclizine, for instance, has been prescribed since the 1980's for bad pregnnacy sickness. I am glad the Dr's is phoning back. Here is my normal spiel: Unfortunately, this does tend to peak about week ten for most people and lasts rather longer than normal pregnancy sickness. Most sufferers feel an improvement between 14 and 20 weeks. Here is my normal spiel that I hope might help, though the kesostix suggestion may be unnecessary. A good anti acid can make a big difference. It is always worth asking to see if there are any further meds to try for the nausea. What helps with the nausea for some, doesn't for others. It is a good idea to buy some kesostix from a chemists to check for the dehydration, as while ketones in urine are not the best indicator A and E departments take them seriously. Some drinks that have helped others, and food of a sort: - flat full sugar coke, the juice of tinned fruit, ice lollies, ice cubes, Elderflower water, fizzy water, tonic water, soda water, Elderflower water and tonic water, Lucoazade, fizzy orange, lemonade, Dr Pepper, Iron Bru, 7UP, Robinson's fruit drinks, orange squash and sips of chocolate milkshake (maybe soya). Nibbles of chips and crisps, baked potatoes, cuppa soup, cheap ice cream, Scotch pancakes, tinned fruit, biscuits, slices of melon and mango and jelly.
abbs1 Great advice. I am so glad you feel OK on the other meds. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
lydia87 So true!
Whatsup11 It is an anxious time waitng for the scan results, and the more so, if you have had any past miscarriages. The chances are very much on your side all is well. It is a shame sufferers cant enjoy their good days as they feels so alien!
