Hi ladies. I’m after a sympathetic ear more than anything else. I’m 7 weeks and have been struggling with horrendous nausea and vomiting since week 4. Not HG levels - I’m vomiting maybe 5 times a day, dry heaving every hour or so and sick to my stomach 24/7.
It’s having such a negative impact on my life and I’m totally miserable. I’m finding it near impossible to go out and trying to work has been living hell. I’ve been able to work from home this week but I know it’s not feasible for much longer but I honestly don’t know how I’ll cope going into the office. Aside from the hour and a quarter commute each way, it’s just impossible to concentrate/ be productive when I feel like I’m in survival mode.
I’ve tried all the tips and tricks - wrist bands, ginger, plain foods little and often but nothing helps. I saw my GP who was completely unsympathetic and there was no chance they were going to sign me off. They prescribed me Promethazine but I’m really concerned about the safety implications. Nothing I’ve read has convinced me it’s 100% safe.
How did you all get through this? Does anyone have experience of taking Promethazine?
My partner and I had fertility issues and this baby is desperately wanted so I feel guilty for not being able to be more positive.
