Nausea and vomitting early pregnancy

[ZoomiesCat]

So I'm only 6 weeks so still early days.

I have a toddler and from around 7 weeks I was badly sick sometimes up to 8-10 times a day and nauseous until around 22 weeks and then had a brief rest from it until around 30 weeks when it started again. I was prescribed various antiemetics which took the edge off but didn't always stop it fully.

With my current pregnancy the last few days I've started feeling increasingly nauseous all day and have been sick 2-3 times a day. I'm scared of it getting so bad again so I thought it was a good idea to I contact my GP to see if I could be prescribed some antiemetics again. I was contacted back via phone by a GP, not from my surgery, that basically made me feel that I'm making it up, it isn't pregnancy related and spurted out the usual, eat little and often, bland foods, ginger etc, which of course I'm already doing. She said if it gets worse then I should recontact my GP and get a face-to-face appointment, but for now I just need to see how it goes. Does this sound right? I'm literally nauseous all day long, I can barely get out of bed and can't keep up with my toddler, I am struggling with eating as have so many aversions and just don't see how coping with this for the next 16 or so weeks is sustainable for me mentally.

I'd either call back in a few days and tell them your feeling worse, or call them back tomorrow and ask to speak with a different doctor. Hope you feel better soon those early weeks of sickness are awful especially when you have a toddler to chase after

I would either call them back or have you already self referred yourself to a maternity unit? If so you can try and call them and see if they can help you. Some midwives can be much more helpful and sympathetic than GPs. This level of sickness needs medical help, it’s not ok for them to just leave you like that.

Im sure it must be so horrible for you and please keep advocating for yourself. Someone will do something.
