Dinosaurus86 Welcome. Sorry you are suffering. Over more than twelve years of these threads, nobody that I have ever heard of of has had an abnormalities as a result of meds, and many on here have been on a cocktail of them. Doctors have to balance the tiny risks ofthe anti emetics against the very real risks of prolonged dehydration. Do ask for meds. Acid indigestion is a burning feeling. It can make nausea and vomiting much worse. Have you got family'friends who could help look after LO some of the time? Rest is important, but difficult with a toddler. I will add your due date. As it's your first Hyperemesis pregnancy, here's my normal spiel, which I hope helps. 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 orchocolate 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. Frozen apple juice has been recommended. 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.
InvisibleDreamer The excess saliva is foul Some carry a small bowl about with them. Some suck sweets, but that can sometimes increase it. It does seem to decrease as timegoes on,thank goodness.
Great advice from QueenBee22 and from gg9320 about weaning off meds for Rockster and northernmam about cutting down on meds.
Apologies for anyone rudely overlooked.
