Feel so down and had a good cry

[OhHuck]

I'm around ten weeks pregnant, suffering from terrible all day sickness. GP gave me cyclizine which hasn't helped and I need something stronger. But I've rang this week and there are never any phone consultations left.
This evening I vomited after dinner and went to bed with a splitting headache. The DC were worried and kept finding excuses to come in so I didnt really rest until they were in bed. Since then I've been tossing and turning anyway, trying to sleep unable to deal with this headache and nausea but sleep won't come. Instead I started sobbing and crying uncontrollably like a baby, I think it's the buildup of many weeks of stress and anxiety with everything going on pouring out, the pregnancy, and my poor DC bored with a poorly mum. And just feeling depressed stuck indoors (we don't even have a garden). I'm so sick of it all and praying for normality but I know it won't be for ages. I can't help feeling so so down.

Hi @OhHuck I really do sympathise with you. I was diagnosed with HG at around 8 weeks and it’s positively unbearable. You definitely need to get another appointment with your doctor and try a different anti sickness drug if cyclizine isn’t working for you. I tried 3 different anti sickness drugs and none worked. Eventually I was put on Ondansteron (the strongest one available) and though it didn’t take all the sickness away, it made life a bit more manageable. Please speak with your midwife and or doctor. It’s essential you get the help you need. Also, if you are diagnosed with HG there’s an amazing thread here on Mumsnet for women suffering with it. It’s great to share tips etc on there.

I hope you feel better soon x
