Thethreebears Welcome. Sorry about your MC's. I had one and worried all the time. The chances are greatly in your favour all will be well. It usually takes a couple of days for Cyclizine to work. If it doesn't help, do ask for another anti emetic as there are several safe ones. You need a sick note, as realistically, few sufferers can keep working during the early weeks of this scourge. Are you a teacher, if this is your first LO? Running up and down two flights of stairs to the loo sounds horrendous. Can you get a sick note? Here is my normal spiel and recommended drinks, with Missingcoffeeandwine's tip about frozen Lucoazade sport added. You have already had great advice: here is my normal spiel in case it is any use. Most sufferers find that they improve a lot at some point between weeks 14 and 20. Even those who are unlucky enough to suffer throughout generally are not as ill later on as they are in the first part. 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, Ribina, 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, Robinson's fruit drinks, Rubicon sparkling mango drink and frozen ice cubes of flat Lucozade sport . 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!
Dimpous and MissingCoffeeandWine Welcome. As you are veterans, you don't need my spiel about 'have you got kesostix, as while not the best test of dehydration, hospitals do take them seriously' and 'do you find flat full sugar coke, ice lollies and fruit juice any good' and 'a good anti acid can make all the difference'. Dimpous I am glad you may have avoided hospital. I'll add your due date. MissingCoffeandWine I so agree about ice lollies. Some do avoid suffering as badly in the second pregnancy, perhaps because they are more prepared and get meds earlier.
Semele5069 I am so glad that the manager is understanding. Can you get a lengthier sick note? Do ask for other meds,as there are various ones and combinations they can try.
Seeker2020 Excellent advice.
Anya212 I meant to say, it is upsetting about your LO, who will be a little anxious, but remember that she will forget all about this time of your being ill in no time, being so little.
