Horrendous morning sickness

Hi all,
Just wondering if any of you are suffering from the same debilitating morning sockness as me. I am nauseaus all day and can't eat anything. I struggle even moving between bed and the bathroom to be sick. I've tried all the natural remedies including ginger, travel bands, essential oils etc etc but NOTHING is giving me any relief.
I have an appointment with my GP tomorrow, has anyone been prescribed anything and has it actually worked?

I was prescribed anti sickness tablets which did help for a little while, but not throughout, ironically the tablets then made me feel even sicker...

I also had an injection later on as I couldn’t stop being sick ALL day and night, which relieved all symptoms for two glorious weeks.

Other than that as my pregnancy progressed the actual vomiting grew less and the sickness became easier to deal with.

I’m sorry you are suffering! It’s really hard as so many people simply don’t understand how debilitating it is to feel sick all day, and often give unhelpful suggestions of how ginger saved their life or sipping lemonade.

Definitely push this with your doctor. All the best, I hope it doesn’t last ! X

Yes it's more common than people realise. I was prescribed anti sickness meds which worked to the degree that I was able to function but I was still sick several times a day throughout my entire pregnancy. Hopefully it's better for you.

Thanks both. I'm not actually being sick all that much, maybe only 3-4 times. It's mainly dry retching which is worse, at least when I'm sick I feel a bit of relief for a minute or 2.
Hoping they will prescribe some sort of anti nausea medication too. I can't go on like this, I've not left the house in 2 weeks and I'm dialling into work meetings from bed. It's really getting me down :(
