Get back to the GP, it's absolutely totally miserable. You're way past the ginger biscuits stage, see the doctor and try different meds. Good luck, don't be fobbed off.

Honestly when people say have you tried ginger!!!! I see red x

Go back to the GP and ask for odansetron, it’s expensive so they try cyclizine first but if you need the more effective stuff then you need it.

It does sound like you have Hyperemisis Gravidarum (literally means "excessive sickness in pregnancy). I'd skip the dismissive GP and go to A&E, but be prepared for them to admit you for IV fluids, and possibly IV drugs. IV cyclizine is very effective, but also rather trippy. There are other drugs too. it took a few hospital stays for me to get on top of HG in bother my pregnancies. I sympathise @Riceyyyy, it's a miserable time.

Are you working? Does your employer know that you are pregnant? Pregnancy related sickness, by law, needs to be recorded seperatejy to other sickness, and can not be used in disciplinary action against you.

PSS has lots of useful, practical and emotional advice.

At one point all I could manage was lime ice lollies!

@bananaorange00 I still feel nausea all day but its bareable, now some days I feel really ill and some days I only vomit once in the mornings, I hope it goes away completely soon I'm nearly 12 weeks.

i took prochrloperazine so similar
and its only thing that worked
i needrd six bags of fluid and iv sickness to get me back to eating

only thing that worked for me was alarm set at 4/5am take tablet go back to sleep
it was in my system when i got up
then cyclizinr with water and waited until i felt like i culd Manage toast
i couldnt get up and not be sick otherwise
