BB2021 Welcome. Ten weeks is often the worst stage. I've added your date. You will find lots of support on here. I know that Ondansetron is expensive, but prescribing it in such small amounts is ridiculous. The GP is obviously playing safe, but do phone Pregnancy Sickness Support on 024 7638 2020 about getting effective meds. They will phone back with good advice. Here 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. I'll add Beaopo's Rubicon sparkling mango drink. 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, bagels 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!
Helenknowsbest Welcome. As you a veteran, you don't need the above spiel about kesostix, drinks and anti acids etc. Don't try and cut down too quickly. Much sympathy about trying to look after a toddler. I hope you have some help from friends or family (in so far as it is possible with these varying rules about social groups).
Anya212 I am so glad the meds are helping you and I hope the doctor continues to prescribe them.
bunhead34 Stupid me. I wrote a message for you, and can't read my appalling handwriting.
Beapo Good ideas there.
Apricotta Sorry about stress. Do ask for something else if the meds aren't helping enough. It must be very hard to work through this.
