Struggling with morning sickness

[cockerspaniel]

I am currently 7 weeks pregnant and I am struggling so bad with morning sickness I am losing the will to live. At first it was just intense nausea but it has progressed to vomiting.

I've tried ginger and eating before I get out of bed (just plain crackers) but this morning I brought that straight back up. As soon as I sip water I feel nauseous again.

I have spoken to 111 for them to tell me this is normal but I'm currently bed bound, I can't work I can just about get downstairs to let the dog out for a wee i feel that weak. My GP surgery is meant to call me before they close today I'm just desperate for help. I've only had two weeks of sickness and I feel like a failure especially as this could go on for some time.

This is my first very much wanted pregnancy but the vomiting and nausea is making me feel like I can't do it. I'm scared about work as it's a small company and I've only been there 3 months and I don't want to start taking loads of time off as we need the money.

I'm not sure what the point of this post is, my partner has been so supportive but I'm just struggling feeling like this 24/7

I would definitely get some tablets from your doctor, these have been so helpful for me. The sickness doesn't completely disappear, but I am now only sick first thing in the morning, and the odd feeling of nausea throughout the day.

Thank you I've just got a prescription from the doctor for prochlorperazine and promethazine so hopefully they work

@cockerspaniel have they worked? This is my 5th pregnancy, I always get morning sickness right through to about 7 months, but this time it has been soooo baaad all the time, struggling to eat or drink anything it tends to come straight back up🤢🥴 I'm 9 weeks and worried about the long haul now! Are the pills safe for baby?

Sorry I have only just seen your reply! Yes they did work for me, I was given promethazine and prochlorperazine, the promethazine I believe also acts a sedative so it made me extremely tired even the next day (I took it before bed) but it was well worth it as it kept the worst at bay and I could go back to work. Some bad days I still felt nauseous but it stopped the vomiting.

Before prescribing them my doctor checked they were safe for pregnancy, I felt a bit guilty taking the medication at first but I couldn't function and was vomiting constantly so i told myself there would be less harm to the baby if I could operate normally

I was very worried about feeling sick all the way through but I'm now 11 days and magically this weekend the sickness has disappeared. I just hope it isn't back tomorrow morning with a vengeance!
