Welcome to HayleyCampbell and LovesFood1987 . LovesFood1987 I am sorry for your losses. I had only one, and that made me nervous enough in my subsequent pregnancy. I am glad you have had the reassurance of the scan showing the heartbeat and are on Cyclizine. If that doesn't help in a few days, don't hesitate to ask for something stronger. There's a new drug called Xonvea, but to say there are supply issues at the moment is an underestimate. Great advice from others. ohCARP Good advice about a heartbreat and the chances of miscarriage dropping massively when one is visible.
HayleyCampbell Congratulations on your twins. That is exciting. Sufferers from Hyperemesis do tend to suffer longer than those who have normal pregnancy sickness, and after all, even those with that often do suffer up to 14 weeks or so. Sufferers on this thread expecting twins often recover more quickly than those with singleton pregnancies, as I suppose it is only the double dose of hormones that tips them over into Hyperemesis, which they wouldn't have had with a singleton pregnancy. Do ask for meds, as you don't want to become dehydrated. I enclose my normal speil, which I hope may be helpful.
Here is my normal speil, which I hope helps. Ignore the parts which don't apply, obviously. 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, Vimto, 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 (M and S has been recommende), 7Up, isotonic drinks, sips of strawberry or 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.
