Welcome to ajb22 and to BalletN. ajb22 You have already had great advice. Sorry you are suffering. Apropos the Metaclopramide, I think some doctors are more wary of it than others. You only have to worry about takiing it only for a short time in case you develop twitchiness, in which case you should come off it at once as not good for the mother (it doesn't seem to affect the baby). I am sorry for your loss and that you are suffering badly. If the metaclopramide doesn't help, don't hesitate to ask for something else again. Here is my normal spiel, which I hope helps. 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, 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.
BalletN You have already had great advice, and as veteran you don't need my normal spiel about ice lollies, flat full sugar coke and the juice of tinned frutit, kesostix and ant acids. I am glad you are on Omprazole as well as the other meds. I am sorry for your losses. It's good that the scan went well. The chances are on your side this time. Did things get easier later on for you last time?
FateHasRedesignedMost Oh dear, I see I missed a bit of your last post and made a jolly remark about being glad that things weren't too bad when in fact, the sickness had eased a bit but theSPD and sciatica were awful. Sorry about that".
alpinia Thank you so much for your encouraging message. It will be lovely having you calling in to help out. That will be very much appreciated.
ChloeHelSorry about headaches. That's so intriguing about feeling so much better away from home.
nee22 Some find they get migraine type headaches from the hormones,quite apart from any dehydration headaches. They can be hard to tell apart and are really miserable.
Melleebaca I am sorry you've got some nasty bug. I hope you can be looked after at your parents ' as soon as possible.
Apologies to anyone I've rudely overlooked.
