Second pregnancy, had hg with my first 4 years ago and vowed never to have anymore because of how traumatic it was. Well, after experiencing motherhood I couldn’t wait for a second and here we are six and a half weeks pregnant.

I was confident, had absolutely no signs of hg up until last week and I even replied to a thread on here saying so! Then bam it hit like a tonne of bricks. My dr has put me on ondansatron (this is what I was on last time, everything else made no difference and even this barely did anything) however the last 24 hours I cannot keep anything down what so ever! I cannot function, H has called in sick to care for our little boy as even rolling over in bed leads to vomiting. My head is pounding, I feel weak, I’ve slept for a total of 2 hours since waking up yesterday morning.

anyone in the same boat? I’ve done nothing but cry. I cannot bare the thought of doing this for another 24 hours let alone 7 more months.

You need to get to hospital so they can rehydrate you and get ondansetron in IV so it gets chance to work. I’m 19 weeks and still on ondansetron - I started it at 9 weeks although the vomiting started at 7 weeks. Seriously, don’t just lie in bed hoping it’ll get better. If you can’t keep fluids down it won’t get better on its own, phone EPU/obstetric triage/midwife/anyone and get yourself admitted to the ward.

Oh you poor, poor thing. I'm so sorry.
I'm 19 weeks today and have had HG since 5 weeks. I'm luckily coming out of it over the last few days so hopefully it's not going to last the whole pregnancy (first.. and definitely last baby!) I agree that you need go contact your midwives or GP and get referred into hospital for an assessment and treatment. There is new updated national guidance that has helpful assessment tools in the appendix of the document (just google RCOG pregnancy sickness). I'm really sorry you're so poorly
