Hi so I'm about 8 weeks pregnant. My morning sickness started quite badly when I was 4 and a half weeks pregnant,this is my 3rd baby and its the earliest its started. I had severe morning sickness for 17 weeks with my first pregnancy and don't remember feeling this bad.
For about 3 weeks now I've not been able to drink any water or juice, I've forced myself into having sips of lemonade,fruit juice and water but it just comes back up. I used to drink loads of water before I got pregnant but as well as not being able to keep it down ive also completely gone of the taste of water and juices, I can't even wash my face with water and brush my teeth without almost being sick because of the smell of the water if that makes sense.
So this has been like this for over 3 weeks, I've only been going to the toilet 1 or 2 times a day once when I wake up and once in the evening and my wee is very dark which isn't normal for me as I said I always used to drink loads before pregnancy and go to the toilet alot but now it's 1 or 2 times a day for a wee. As the days go on I am feeling weaker and weaker, I can't do normal things and I'm starting to get dizzy and blurry vision.
I had my 8 week booking appointment with my midwife today, she just said I need to make an appointment with my gp so they can check how dehydrated I am, but they aren't open now till Monday.
She offered to take blood tests to which I agreed, I've never ever had a problem with blood tests, I have massive veins and when ever I get a blood test it's so easy and they always tell me " lovely veins" it started like that today she said " oh nice veins" then started the blood test, after a couple of minutes I noticed it was quite painful so I looked down and saw no blood was actually coming out and she was moving the needle around saying I can't get any blood out, at this point I started to panic because I've never had an issue with blood tests so I got scared, she told me it's because I'm dehydrated and said she would try once more on my other arm if I agreed, I said OK and same thing , I have massive veins in both arms but at first on the 2nd arm it wouldn't even come out, then all of a sudden a little bit came out and it looked really thick, she then told me I looked pale so to sit down for a few minutes because she didn't want me to faint.
I now have 2 nasty bruises on both my arms and now scared of blood tests.
I just feel so awful, is it worth getting checked out by a doctor ? Will they even do anything. I'm just worried I am going to end up getting more dehydrated or making myself more ill expecially as they wasn't able to draw blood from me today ( only a little by thr 2nd arm)
I feel really weak and keep getting dizzy and I just can't drink anything.
Does anyone have any advice ?
