Hyperemesis partner not happy

I'm 7 weeks pregnant with my second and since last week I've been throwing up and had all day nausea. I suffered terribly with hg with my first and ended up in hospital a few times. This time round I've got the added pressure of looking after dd so I've said I'm willing to try anything to get on top of the sickness.
The only thing that helped last time was ondansetron given in hospital but I had a terrible time being prescribed it by my gp, eventually got it at 35 weeks but by that point I was on mat leave and could stay in bed all day so didn't end up taking it.
I found it in the cupboard a few days ago and out of desperation was about to take one. But dh stopped me saying it was too risky, he then hid the tablets. I was so unwell last night I literally begged him for the tablets. He let me have one and I actually got some sleep. Took another one this morning and feeling almost normal!
I understand dh concerns about the risks but at this point it's either a termination of a very much wanted baby or I take the risk and get through this pregnancy. Dh come down this morning in a foul mood saying he's had no sleep. I'm so annoyed at him, if it was the other way round he would be moaning constantly and take anything to get rid of it.
There's no real point to this thread just need to vent/ need some reassurance. HG is truly awful and it took such a lot to even consider having another child. I'm just so annoyed with dh.

it's worrying that he responds to your vulnerability by dominating & controlling, I think you should monitor him and log all instances of such predatory behaviour

FFS, it's not controlling behaviour. It's concern for his partner and unborn child.

It definitely is. I'm surprised you don't see it.

Why does everyone jump to men being 'controlling' on here?!

I only mention it if the signs are there.

How this poster can defend him is just beyond.

It's controlling.

Fellow HG sufferer (4th pg with hg) and I would completely lose my shit if my dh dared act this way.

I really hope the rest of your pg goes well. Be kind to yourself. And good on you for getting the info and forcing it on your partner.
