Should I ring the midwife?

I'm 10 weeks and have had persistent vomiting since Monday, thought it was morning sickness but it's completely wiped me out.

I've been unable to get out of bed since Tuesday and only now feeling a bit better today. Have been sick again this morning and now have both D&V. Had aches all up and down legs up to my back yesterday and was painful to walk. Also a terrible headache. Feeling dehydrated as until today have not been able to keep water down. Also have had a high temp for a few days but peaked yesterday.

Would you ring the GP? Or midwife? 111? Have tried EPU & midwife but can't get through and don't want to waste their time.

My midwife said if in doubt always call, they'd rather you call unnecessarily than not call if you need to.
Let them be the judge of that.
Congratulations on your pregnancy

I caught a vomiting bug from my daughter when I was 14 weeks pregnant with my second child. Like you, I couldn’t even keep water down. After 4 days of vomiting, I called and got an out of hours GP appointment. I was so dehydrated they admitted me to hospital overnight and I needed 3 bags of IV fluids.
Baby was fine but I’m glad I went in as I was very dehydrated. I’d advise calling your GP, midwife or maybe 111 to see if they can book you an appointment.
