RosieByTheSea Welcome back. I am glad this thread helped you in 2015 and 2017 and hope it will again. I am sorry about your miscarriage. Thank you for your kind words. Do you find the sea air helps with the nausea and vomiting, as some have commented on that, or as you have it all the time, is the effect less? Remind me what meds helped in the past. I hope someone with other LO's will be able to advise about what she has said to explain things to them. There are picture books on Hyperemesis for sale, which some find useful.
SpringChicken06 Welcome. Do ask for a sick note. Rest helps as much as medication. I am glad that the Cyclizine is helping. I am sure that work are trying to be helpful, but most sufferers from this scourge do need to be off work for a while, at least. I am glad you have been reading through this thread, but I attach my normal spiel just in case. 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, frozen smoothie 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.
Elle1709 I am sorry to say that it can return for some in the third tri, though I gather, not usually as badly as in the dreadful first few weeks. It is dismal for those it happens to. Oh dear, I had to laugh about your partner's tapping his foot being a trigger: sorry!
violetcuriosity This is the thread that nobody wants to be on! The comparatively new Xonvea has helped a number of sufferers on here and was designed specifically for severe pregnancy sickness.
Apologies to anyone rudely overlook.
