DisgruntledPelicanLady Welcome. If you are not able to retain fluids for more than 24 hours it becomes a medical emergency. Do phone the out of hours helpline emphasizing that if you find you aren't keeping enough fluids down. As others say, this is not normal pregnancy sickness. As you have had a phobia about vomiting, do phone Pregnancy Sickness Support too on 0247638 2020 for advice about that and about obtaining effective meds. They will have to ring back but are very helpful. Here is my normal spiel, which might help. . 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 and slices of melon and mango. Protein drinks have also been mentioned.
buttercuplizzy Welcome. I am glad you have got pre-emptive meds. There is lots of support on here. Some find that they escape suffering badly in some pregnancies after ones with bad Hyperemesis. As you are a veteran, you dont need my normal spiel above about kesostix, flat coke and anti acids.
goldteeth I am so glad to hear that.
FateHasRedisgnedMost Good advice. Ha, Ha, about kicking and communication.
Melleebacca Coming out at both ends sounds awful, I hope you manage to keep as cool as you can with those temperatures, and wise words as ever.
