M/S or HG? When do I go to the DR?

Hi Sunshine,

I have just spent nearly 8 weeks in bed with vomitting just like you and have only managed to keep down crackers etc. I found watermelon is wonderful - no smell and a nice bland cold taste (and it doesn't taste bad if it comes back either). The other thing my fertility nurses told me to do is to get a frozen coke or smoothie and sip it (put it back in the freezer every now and then, this does help too) I went to the Doctors and he prescribed Zofran and I can now get through my whole day (sometimes without vomitting at all). If you can get hold of this you will notice a huge change. My hubbys Aunty is a nurse and taught me how to know if I was dehydrated, pinch the back of your hand and if you can gather the skin your body still has water in it, however if the skin is hard to pinch and pulled tight and the skin on your fingers is starting to look transperant you need to get your self to a hospital and onto a drip for the day. I really hope you feel better soon, it is so hard to excited about your little miracle when you feel so rotten. If you have a BBQ get your partner/hubby to cook on that, my hubby has been doing that since I was 4 weeks pg and it is great because the house doesn't fill with that yucky-make-you-want-to-throw-up smell. I hope this helps you.
