Anxious9thpreg That is happy news! Congratulations on Florence Phoebe - lovely unusual names. Enjoy every minute of her. Happy news that the vomiting has stopped at once. Thank you so much for posting your encouraging message.
HolsGreen Welcome. I am glad you have picked up useful tips on here. Everyone is very supportive on here, as others say. I include my normal spiel that might help, though you may have come across it on the thread. Ignore the bits that don't apply. Most sufferers find that they improve a lot at some point between weeks 14 and 20, or sometimes later. 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. When reporting on the vomiting to doctors, remember to emphasize the number of heaves in each vomiting session, as doctors tend to count these as 'vomits' and this can lead to their underestimating the severity of your symptoms. 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, potato smileys, slices of melon and mango. Protein drinks have also been mentioned.
MrsNovember I am glad the drinks suggestions helped. All luck for the scan.
Pleasedon'tworry Sorry you've had a relapse. Good that you've extended your sick note.
Catconfusion That is worrying for you. No wonder the tension has built up the sickness. I remember I was given a very high risk for my age - 1 in 43, I remember - and while that worked out as a low chance in a hundred, it still made me horribly anxious. Much sympathy.
kalidasa Limited good news, anyway!
abbs1 Good advice, as ever.
Lzgs I am so glad the scan gave you a boost.
