Morning sickness misery at 6 weeks

I am terrified as I feel bloody awful and have started being sick. I need to eat every hour, but I am starting to feel worse. This is number three (feel like a silly teenager - condom must have broken, but here we are anyway, we are happy about it, if not surprised). I had bad m/s with ds1 and a lot worse with dd2. Had ketones and had to take medication, but this is starting a couple of weeks earlier. The anticipation is what is killing me. Waiting. It's definitely getting worse. Do I just have to wish my life away until 16 weeks when I hopefully will feel OK again ? Does anyone have any coping mechanisms to help the miserable time pass ? I remember now why I didn't want another one. Can I do anything to speed time upthrough these dark miserable day ? especially as I have two toddlers and have to work and somehow keep it together ? Sorry about the moan. I know I am truly blessed, but this m/s is hard.

sounds so familiar - number 3 here too and sickness worst yet - started at 6 weeks and not yet gone 16+4

don't think past one day, get the meds asap, eat whatever you can stomach and worry about your diet another day, do as little as you can at work and at home - cbeebies is your friend - take help where it's offered, tell work asap so they understand why you're not on form, time off when you have to, don't wait until you're dehydrated before seeking help, don't give yourself a hard time because at times you will hate the baby/wish you hadn't etc and feel guilty - this is normal and will pass when the sickness goes

Thanks for the tips. A bit scared it will last longer than before too. The only thing keeping me going is that it's not forever and I will feel good at some point. C-Beebies IS my best friend at the moment. I have a scan next week as I had an ectopic before, but I'm pretty sure this one is settled and happy (had an early scan at 4 weeks 3 days and the sac is in the right place). I will get the meds. I think that's a good idea. Sooner rather than later.
Thanks again. Nice to know someone else knows what it's like.
