BalletShoes2022 Welcome. Sorry you are suffering. Losing a stone is not normal pregnancy sickness. As others say, you certainly need meds.Do make an appointment with your doctor, emphaszing the weight loss. It is possible to have Hyperemesis without excessive vomiting, despite the name. Never worry about tmi; on here, there can be no such thing. Ten weeks is around the worst time for many.
Here is my normal spiel, which I hope will help. Ignore the irrelevant bits: 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. Also, pink lemonade , cloudy lemonade and Sprite. Foods of a sort include tinned fruit, cuppa soup, nibbles of crisps and chips, cheap ice cream, Scotch pancakes, bagels and biscuits, potato smileys, minature salty Yorkshire Puddings , dry cereals and slices of melon and mango. Protein drinks have also been mentioned.
TotalAnnhilation Welcome and that sounds grim as well. Definitely make a medical appointment and ask for meds, emphasizing the amount of heaving. That is definitely not normal pregnancy sickness. I hope my spiel above will be of use to you too.
abbs1 That must be a bit of a concern. I'm glad that they've got everything planned and wonderful that you will be meeting the baby soon and the suffering behind you. Interesting what Mellebacca says about number 24. I think it's a lucky number too.
FateHasRedesignedMost I hope you are OK after that drama?
PopGoesBang That does sound an exhausting day.
ChloeHel It is supposedly a medical emergency if a pregnant woman hasn't retained fluids for over 24 hours. Have you got the famous keostix, as hospitals do react to high readings of ketones on those? If not, as others say, do you have scanty, dark urine, dry, inelastic skin, a headache or dry mouth etc?
Rainbowzebra05 I hope Cyclizine really helps again, if it helped last time, and you can continue to work enough not to get your ML pay affected. I'm so long out of the workplace, I no longer know the current rules. What are the employers like regarding a helpful approach? Could you work most of the time at home, have reduced hours or something? Is there an HR department or union that could advise you?
Apologies to anyone rudely overlooked.
