Welcome to JessV12. Sorry you are suffering. It must be extremely hard with a phobia about vomiting. A couple of others on here have had that. I think one was offered counseling by the GP's surgery about it. Do phone Pregnancy Sickness Support on 024 7638 2020 for advice about it. They will have to phone back but do give good advice. I am glad you've been given effective meds. Do get a laxative, as a side effect of Ondansetron is severe constipation. I am quoting my normal speil, which I hope helps you. 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.
ChloeHel and KatieJayne56 Oh dear about date. Not good.
buntywindermere Welcome back. I am sorry to hear of your MMC in January.
Congratulations on your new pregnancy. Several on here have been helped by Prochlorperazine. Doctors seem to vary about how long they prescribe Metaclopramide for. Some prescribe it long term, as long as the mother has no twitchiness, which is a sign to stop taking it. Are they reluctant to start you on Cyclizine and Ondansetron early? There is a new drug, Xonvea, but there are bad supply issues at the moment.
Weathergirl1 Sorry to hear you have tokophobia. I hope the surgery will be giving you support about it. If not, I wonder if Pregnancy Sickness Support on 024 7638 2020 would give you some suggestions? They will phone back with good advice. I have to admit to such ignorance about the condition that I had to look up the term.
Apologies to anyone rudely overlooked. I had to retype the message as for some reason, the pc lost it.
