bunhead Welcome. Congratulations on your pregnancy. I am not medical, but surely the hormonal treatment must be making things worse, so hopefully when you are taken off that, things might improve a bit? In the same way on this thread women expecting twins often are very ill early on but recover often more quickly than average due to the extra hormones. Hopefully so. It's good that the doctor took you off the metaclopramide if it made you twitchy. There are various other meds they can try you with including a new one with a name I always forget - Xonvea, that is it! Here is my usual spiel which I hope helps: ere is my usual spiel: Most sufferers find that they improve a lot at some point between weeks 14 and 20. A good anti acid can make a surprising difference to the sickness. Kesostix are worth buying online or from a chemists, as while they aren't they best test of dehydration, hospitals take them seriously. Some drinks that have helped others: full sugar flat coke, ice lollies, the juice of tinned fruit, Lucozade, apple juice, Dr Pepper, soda water, Elderflower water, tonic water, ice cubes, Iron Bru, lemonade, lemon squash, orange squash, orange juice (if not too acid), fizzy orange, 7Up, isotonic drinks, sips of chocolate milkshake (maybe soya), fizzy water, apple juice, and Robinson's fruit drinks. Foods of a sort include tinned fruit, cuppa soup, nibbles of crisps and chips, cheap ice cream, Scotch pancakes, bagels, slices of melon and mango, grated cheese, baked potatoes, grated cheese and biscuits. Someone recommended a wonderful drink, recently, which I said I would add to the list and - stupid Mother Hen! - I've lost the reference!
Apricotta That sounds awful about not being able to use a loo. Is there no large store cupboard with a basin or something - I remember another teacher having to use that? I suppose there no chance of your getting a sick note until you are over the worst?
doritodiva I suppose the doctor is being extra careful, but it must make you feel nervous. It might be worth phoning the Pregnancy Sickness Support number on 024 7638 2020 to ask about Stemitil and why he might be anxious about it and kidney function? There is a retired doctor on there who rings back with very good advice.
Waves to Yabadabbado Seeker20 and everyone.
