I didnt even know this thread exsisted or I would have been in here much earlier than now!!! I know just how you feel! I'm 25 weeks and still suffering with horrid morning sickness, at least now I manage to have good and bad days.
I got to the point between weeks 6 - 15 where I was admitted twice to hospital because I was so dehydrated and literally couldn't even get out of bed. As for the constipation, I know exactly how you feel! As I said in the other post, give the Mircolax a try, it was instant relief for me after not going for 17 days!!!
As for food etc nothing for me was better than anything else, I tried every old wives tale etc that there was and nothing worked. I was on Zofran from weeks 6 - 16 and then my body started to become immune to it and it stopped working. My ob then told me to start taking Phenergen which is not recommended during pregnancy Honestly some days I was awake for about 5 hours out of a whole 24 hour period because it makes you drowsy. I still take it occasionally when feeling off. My bub is happy, healthy and measuring a week ahead even though I have lost 8.5kgs! I know sometimes you feel guilty but I think its better to have some food and fluid in your body for the baby than worrying about taking the tablet.
Thanks ladies. Amy_jellybean I wish this thread was here last pg it would have been a great help when I could get to the computer again I know I need to be on the meds, I actually think I am doing a bit better and would like to try cutting my morning 8mg Zofran down to 4mg and see how it goes, but I'm terrified it won't go well. I'm taking Restavit which is an antihistamine like Phenergan, I'm not sure the difference, but I know it helps a lot. For those that Restavit doesn't help much they usually try Phenergan. The conflicting advice when it comes to meds is terrible too, some doctors and pharmacists scare the crap out of you and make you feel guilty, but like you guys said dehydration and malnutrition isn't exactly great for the baby either.
I'm just having a down day I think, I'm sick of being useless, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day, or at least I'll have a better attitude. I don't think waiting on the results of my 12 NT screening is helping. Oh well patience is a virtue.
