DESPERATE: Anti-nausea drugs at 8 wks.

[VelvetQuilt]

Hi ladies,

I'm a newbie here, now into my 8th week with my first baby and into the 4th week of full on nausea. I'm lucky in a sense that most of the time I can keep food (little and often) and fluids down, but the nausea is overwhelming. Normally I'm physically sick 3 or 4 times a week and I have over active salivary glands, meaning I need to spit once or twice every 5 minutes-which means getting up to go to the bathroom sink all the time.

I've resisted going to the doctor until today (appointment at 4pm) as I'm not happy about the possibility of taking drugs to help with the nausea. However, I am absolutely miserable. I'm self employed, run a business from home and need to be in London several times a week but for the last month I've barely even left the house. I feel as though this may be my last resort as I have literally tried everything.

Has anyone else taken any anti-nausea drugs (prescription of course) did they help and how was the baby?

Please help.

Hi Velvet

Just wondering how you are getting on with the recent meds? I found your thread whilst Googling for anti nausea cures and felt as though I had found a Compadre! I can relate to your plight 100%!

I do hope the recent meds are kicking in.

The antihistamines didn't help me but I have been on Zofran for a week now and it is excellent. No more vomiting or dry retching.

This thread is over two years old now.

Hugs to you - i don't envy you and know exactly what you're going through. Ice lollies where nice and refreshing - the only thing i could keep down! I was hospitalized twice with hyperemisis at 11 and 12 weeks, in the end they prescribed me with cyclazine - must admit i hated taking them but had to in the end, they didn't cure it completely but took the edge off it.
It went at 16 weeks - well enough so i could live a normal life again! am now 23 weeks and its gone completely xxx
