Welcome to Yoga817 Congratultions on twins! That is exciting. When you are ready to reveal the due date, it'll be nice to add them to the list. Sorry y9ou are suffering. Oftne those with twins suffer badly early on, but recover earlier, as they probably wouldn't have got Hyperemesis with a singleton pregnancy. I am glad that Xonvea is helping a bit, and it's a good idea to increase the dose. I believe that midwives count as prescribing nurses, and can check with the doctor to get another prescription for you. A nuisance that they won't do a repeat prescription, particularly as Xonvea was specially designed to be safe in pregnancy. Here's my normal spiel, which I hope may help. Most 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 and dry cereeal.
NPZ705 I am glad the meds are helping. Various ones, such as Cycliizine and I think sometimes Prochlorperazine and Xonvea, can have a side effect of making sufferers sleepy. Many find it wears off after some days.
Apologies to anyone rudely ignored.
