Pregnancy being sick so much :(

[Mammabear111]

Hi everyone I am 8weeks pregnant with my second child I am being sick four days everyday I was sick with my first pregnancy all the way tho but nothing like this is it normal to be sick this many times a day I am worried I am not keeping any food down I have even being vomiting fizzy drinks 😭

I am four times every day sorry

Four times daily sorry this spell check

Drs and get prescribed medication for hypermesis they need to check your urine for ketones. Have you kept water down today?

I have managed to keep water down today yes I don't no if I have HG yet I am going to speak to my midwife to see if I do

Well I was "only" being sick once maybe twice a day but had no appetite and constant nausea and was diagnosed with it and given medication so I would say highly likely you have. I'd call your gp don't wait for midwife

Don’t go to your midwife, they can’t prescribe or officially diagnose anything. You need your GP. I have HG & without medication I’m sick 20+ a day, its horrific. But regardless of whether it’s HG or ‘just’ severe pregnancy sickness, you absolutely should seek help. Being sick multiple times & feeling badly sick 24/7 with no respite is awful. Especially if you can’t keep food & water down.

There are a whole range of meds you can take, varying in strength. Doctors tend to start you out on Cyclizine as a fist line drug. The strongest is Ondansetron. Your GP should also check your urine for ketones to check you are not dehydrated. I’ve been in hospital several times with, it’s easy to become dehydrated quite quickly!

Worth checking out the charity Pregnancy Sickness Support who have lots of advice & info on the meds available. If your doctor is difficult, you can show them all the information from the charity in support of you having some.

Love to you, it’s horrible!

Thankyou for all your reply's just been sick for the 5th today :( I will definitely be seeking help from GP didn't want to resort to meds while pregnant but I am guessing I mite have to ;(

@Mammabear111 plenty of women take the medication for HG and have healthy babies. Healthy you will make a healthy baby as well

It’s a tough choice @Mammabear111 .. but please be reassured that certainly the first line drugs have zero safety concerns. Cyclizine for example has been used for over 20 years with zero reports of any harm to baby. Ondansetron is the only anti-sickness with some possible concerns. There is a new bit of research that suggests there is tiny increase in cleft lips among ondansetron babies.

I’ve had to take the measured risk in both pregnancies. In the end, I think HG would have almost finished me off, I’d have certainly been in hospital for the majority of my pregnancy! Ondansetron is my lifesaver, stops a huge amount of my vomiting!

I will be going to the GP in the morning and at this point I am willing to try meds yes a healthy mum is a healthy baby I am spending so much time running to the toilet throwing up all day its horrible

Hi I got some meds today from gp hopefully it will Helo
