Hi there,

I had HG with DS1 until 30 weeks. I eventually was put on zofran at 14 weeks when it was that or be hospitalised for dehydration.

With DS2 I wasn't at work, which I think made a huge difference. I just had severe morning sickness that subsided at around 14 weeks. It wasn't HG - yay! When I went to my GP to say that I was pg, she gave me a script straight away for maxalon and said to start taking them as soon as I felt a tiny bit sick and to keep taking them. Then if that didn't work get back to her ASAP to get the zofran (I was keen to avoid zofran as it is so expensive and I wasn't working this pg). She would have given me zofran as early as I wanted it.

GP said that the trick is to stay on top of the nausea - it is much harder to stop feeling sick once it has got to the severe stage than to get in early while it is milder/newer.

To be honest, my DS1 didn't really get neglected much during my 2nd pregnancy as I was still able to lie on the floor to play with him. It was my poor DH who suffered the load of doing all the washing, cooking and ironing while I was sick.
