HG advice please? 🤢

[mrktmummy]

This is my third pregnancy and first with HG I’m 20 weeks and in hospital got admitted yesterday I still can’t keep anything down but have had 3L of fluids and IV anti sickness.anyone whos had it and been hospitalised with it what did you have to achieve before being discharged? Thank you z

I had hg with both my dc.

With Dd the injected cyclizine worked once i was admitted. Also felt so much better after third bag of iv fluids. Once i was discharged i had a stockpile of urine dipsticks to keep an eye on my ketones - once they reached 4+ I'd go in for another admission to re hydrate.

Ds was really awful hg. Lots of admissions, i dropped a scary amount of weight (something like 15% of body weight by week 9 of pregnancy). I ended up on a cocktail of antiemetics including cyclizine, metronidasole, and ondansatron. Basically it ended up being a circle of admission where I'd get fluids, etc then discharge home where over the next 3-4 days I'd detiorate and be re admitted. After a while they finally got a consultant to prescribe ondansatron which kept the sickness at almost manageable levels.

It sucks. It really really sucks. Fingers crossed you feel better soon, and they find a mix of antiemetics that work for you.

Ondansetron was the only thing that worked. Push for it.

Ondansetron really helped me too.
