Ttc2017 Welcome. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Pre-emptive meds sounds an excellent idea. As you suffered badly before, hopefully your GP will agree. It is also worth phoning Prengnancy Sickness Support on 024 76302020 for advice about the phobia about vomiting, how best to get the most effective meds, etc. There is lots of support on here. Although you are a veteran, here is my usual spiel, just in case.
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. Besides drinking through a straw, here are some drinks that have helped others: full sugar flat coke (if you don't find it too acid), 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 , raspberry Lucozade sport 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 and biscuits and slices of melon and mango.
faithfulbird20 Hopefully it won't get to that with your teeth! Hyperemesis can be traumatic, even for those who suffer less badly than you. It might be worth thinking about speaking to a counsellor about your feelings of trauma later on.
