FeelingBeautiful Welcome. What with not being able to keep water down on some days at 16 weeks, that sounds bad enough to be Hyperemesis to me. You have had great advice already about what effective parasites babies are. On meds, it was very unkind - and ignorant - of that person to lecture you about meds. The doctor would not have put you on any dangerous medication. They are incredibly careful about that now. Being dehydrated for too long is, however, dangerous to both mother and baby, which is what happens without meds. Here is my usual spiel which I hope may help. As others say, do ask if there are other meds they will give you. Here is my normal spiel below which I hope might help. Things do get a lot better for most people at some point between weeks 15-21. Even the unlucky minroity who suffer throughout almost never feel as bad as in the first tri. Have you got kesostix to check for the early stages of dehydration as even though they are not the best test of it, hospitals do take the presence of ketones seriously? You can get them from a chemists. An anti acid can make a surprising difference. ere are some drinks that have helped others. Full sugar flat coke, ice lollies, the juice of tinned fruit, Elderflower water, tonic water and Elderflower cordial (eallison's tipple), Lucozade, soda water, lemonade, fizzy orange, orange squash, Iron Bru, orange juice if not too acid, ice cubes, Dr Pepper, Chocolate milkshakes (maybe soya), 7Up, isotonic drinks frozen into cubes, flat full sugar coke frozen into cubes and fizzy water. Some foods of a sort: nibbles of crisps and chips, tinned fruit, slices of melon and mango, baked potato, toasted bagel with butter, grated cheese, cheese puffs, Scotch pancakes, cuppa soup, biscuits and cheap ice cream.
dillydollydarling Welcome back. I think kissingthebear's advice about phoning Pregnancy Sickness Support on 024 7638 2020 is a great idea. Counselling seems a very good idea. There are quite a lot of Hyperemesis sufferers who go for it a third time. I have only known the most severe cases be medically advised against it as long as they have had long enough to recover.
ConstantlyPanicking I am so glad you got fluids and another med added.
Waves to kissingthebear and Connie222.
I hope everyone is coping today. Another storm coming: this is astounding; one has followed another this winter.
