Welcome to hereistopositiveenergy and northernmam. Sorry you are both suffering badly. hereistopositiveenergy Definitely ask for something other than Cyclizine; perhaps Xonvea, which has helped many on here. Hyperemesis tends to last longer than normal pregnancy sickness, and after all, that often goes on to 14 weeks. Do read my normal spiel below, which I hope may help. norhternmam. Fancy that; two lots of twins in days; it always seem to happen like that on this thread. Those expecting twins often seem to suffer badly early on, but often suffer for less long than those expecting singletons, perhaps because in a singleton pregnancy they might not have suffered from Hyperemesis. What you suggest is a good idea. After 12 weeks, they may well put you on Ondansetron, but they avoid that if they can before, due to a very tiny risk connected with cleft palate. Ten weeks is often the worst point for many, due to a hormonal surge, and with twins it must be even stronger. 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.
