At this point you need to try and get some hydration going and worry about food later, if you have any hydralyte (sp) have small amounts of that as liquid or ice chips, or failing that water or fruit juice or codial as liquid or ice chips.
I've ummed and ahhed about saying anything on this thread ... because I was super sick both pregnancies - until about 34 weeks with DS1, and right up until the day DS2 was born
BUT (and the reason I eventually decided to post) the good news is both babies were (and are!) 100% completely fine. It was so crap for me, and I really feel for you, but for every person's good intentions in offering solutions (which I tried and tried and tried) or saying that I'd feel better after the first trimester, or after week 17, or after the morphology, or after ... or after ... or after ... it just didn't let up. That got me rather down at times, and I was pretty stressed about bubs, wondering what on earth would they be getting, on the not infrequent days I couldn't keep anything down!
But it was nine months - but the babies were so fine, and so healthy, and got everything they needed, and so I guess even though this isn't your first rodeo, I thought I'd come in and say - I hope you feel better really soon! But even if you don't, and even if you need medical assistance, hydration, etc, try not to let it freak you out.
I'm sure you know this, but I thought I'd come and give you a and some and say even if it's crap, you'll make it, this too shall pass, and your baby is still bewilderingly getting everything they need.
I was exactly the same, violent MS for the whole pregnancy with DD and for 5 months with this one. The wafers you have were my life saver, and I lived on them for the first 22 weeks. They cost me $50 for 10 wafers but the $$ didn't matter to me - anything to give me slight relief was worth it. I still felt rotten 24/7, and I still feel rotten now at 31 weeks but they literally saved me from being bedridden and from throwing up ALL day
Everyone suggested all types of food, drinks, ginger, b6, chewy, mints, peppermint etc and even the suggestions made me wanna throw up.
I too would vomit dry biscuits, water, even the plainest of things.
Ondansetron wafer are the best!
Oh Cat, I so wish that I was closer to you! I just want to hug you right now! I really feel for you! It does suck! I had some pretty horrible bouts of sickness when I was PG and it was horrific. Thankfully I managed to go in waves of a couple of weeks at a time, then a couple of good weeks.
I am praying that this is just a short phase for you and that it buggers off real soon! I don't have any advice, I bet you have tried everything anyway! I lived on jelly and 2 min noodles for a month at one stage, very healthy!
Thinking of you gorgeous...you know where I am if you want to chat or anything!!!

Haven't kept anything down in over 24hours...
it's so awful
I too found tiny sips of fizzy drink helped sometimes.
