10 weeks pregnant and not coping with nausea

Since 5 weeks pregnant I have been wretching frequently, vomiting ~4 times a day. Ive been on doxylamine, reflux med, vitamin B6 and zofran since week 5. I'm wearing seabands and have tried acupuncture, which did not help. I'm eating frequently through out the day... The point is I am doing EVERYTHING that I can and I am still feeling nauseated all day, every minute. I have dysguesia also which has changed the taste of my saliva/mouth. Everytime I swallow i get a rotting taste which also contributes to my nausea.

I feel constantly depressed because I don't have too much hope with my symptoms easing at 12-14 weeks... With my DS1 I was sick until 22 weeks, with DS2 sick the whole 9 months of pregnancy. So I feel like the chances are, I'm going to be sick for a long long time.

Since feeling extremely nasueated all day with rotting taste in my mouth, how I feel emotionally and mentally towards my children have changed. I feel cold towards them / almost indifferent (normally I love them to death). I don't want them around me because their smell makes me start wretching. My husband has been very helpful with the kids and the kids are starting to want daddy more than mummy. I feel sad about how I feel towards the kids and I feel so angry and frustrated and depressed about feeling sick all day for the last 5 weeks ... And the likely possibility of being sick until the end. I've looked up termination options, I can't believe it. I feel so tempted to get rid of this pregnancy as I can't look after my other kids and I feel miserable. I know I wont/can't terminate this baby but I feel so tempted to. I'm just needing a light at the end of the tunnel. If I could have next 7-8months by myself with Netflix and helpful foods I could probably think of surviving but the reality is I have a toddler and a baby to look after, the house is filthy and I can see my husband and children hurting. I don't know what to do. I just feel so trapped and so frustrated.

Ask your gp about other medicine options? I spent eight months switching between three different drugs, and even then could only drink tonic water. You have lots of sympathy.

You have my sympathy with the constant nausea. I got to 11 weeks with constant nausea, vomiting and big weight loss and honestly started to resent the fact i was pregnant.
After the midwife told me it was normal I finally gave in and spoke to my GP who put me on meds.
I havent been perfect since but I have been much better and have felt more human. Ive even been able to eat which is fab.
Maybe speak to your GP and ask for different meds or a combination of them. There is alot they can do to help.
I hope it gets better soon for you.
