Hand hold please- severe morning sickness

[palmtreessunshine]

Hi all.

I am nine weeks pregnant with my fourth baby. My eldest two children are 12 and 10 and my youngest has just turned 2. I am severely fatigued and morning sick except it’s mostly in the afternoon and evening. Sometimes I vomit while making dinner and I’m so off most foods and liquids- I’m finding BF it difficult to drink enough water. And it’s extremely inconvenient as my toddler stays at home with me.

It’s starting to impact my mental health as I feel like I’m never going to get over feeling like this even though I know I will. I’ve never experienced it on this level before.

please tell me it will end and treat me tenderly as I’m really really struggling with how useless I feel to my family at the moment

Hi
I've been suffering from hyperemesis and it's awful, so debilitating. I have a toddler and for weeks I felt like I barely saw her, my anti sickness made me so tired I couldn't function but I needed them to keep down food and water. I've lost 17lbs in about 6/7 weeks. It's so hard.
I'm now 13 weeks and on ondasetron which is helping so much, I'm using cyclizine to bridge the time between doses. I actually have part of my day back. The food aversions are intense but I'm gradually eating a bit more. I'm also still breastfeeding but I have cut it back.
It's a really rough few weeks and 9/10 tends to be the peak.
I would recommend speaking to Pregnancy Sickness Support. They were so helpful, they gave me advice about different medications, sent me information and just let me let off some steam about how useless I felt. I now have a peer supporter through them as well and it's nice to have someone who gets it.
Day to day I still can't do much but it's gradually building. Take your time, be nice to yourself, you're growing a human being and take any help offered.

Second speaking to the pregnancy sickness support group. Don't suffer through it - speak to your GP and find a medication that works x
