Haven't kept anything down in over 24hours...

Great! Take it easy and let us know how you go.

Hey Cat, just be aware that after the acupuncture you can feel absolute crap. I tired it at 19 weeks for the same thing, and she didn't give me any aftercare advice at all. I only just managed to get myself back to work which was 2 mins up the road, then felt so sick and unwell I literally couldn't have driven home. I had to have a 2 hour sleep at work before I could function.
Having said that, it did coincide with my " all day absolute hell sickness" easing the next week, but I don't know if it was from the acupuncture or not.
Just make sure you have a bottle of water with you, and are prepared incase you feel crap afterwards. if there is anyone that can pick you up maybe arrange that.
I really hope it helps though!

I found accupunture fantastic during pregnancy, the other thing I highly recommend is a good cranial osteo, they will help with the nausea, it must be someone who does cranial.

I thought I was getting better, didn't vomit all day yesterday, I even got up and vacuumed a room...

It didn't last - this morning I can't move vomiting, blaaaa...

Haven't called the acupuncturist yet - got scared off that I could feel worse...

Bugger!
Have you had acupuncture before? Everyone's experiences can be different.. After I have it, I do feel a bit spacey, just like after a massage, but my general feeling is usually improved.. It might be great for you, or might not, but maybe worth a go? It could be your life saver!
There is another acupressure point/s I was told about.. If you find your sternum, press into the space just below it, where it becomes soft.. then move your finger in a straight line town towards the belly button, pressing slowly all the way.. that one works for me when I get a bit nauseas and funny in my belly...
ooh i hope this passes for you soon Cat... good luck!

Gonna sit in here and have a little cry...

Feeling so awful

**Ca Plane Pour Moi** · September 25th, 2014, 10:12 PM

Hugs Cat. Thank you for giving me perspective - even feeling bad, you still inspire others.

:-( this baby is kicking my butt...

I've just had a week off work. Was starting to feel a little better, gone from throwing up everything to only 1-3 times a day. And keeping some food down.

Today I am back to feeling terrible :-( kept food in at work just felt nauseated amd started to get a bad headache, have thrown up a few times since I've been Home - headache isn't getting any better and I feel so sick :-(

I'm sorry for complaining so much just not dealing with it all too well

**Lilly-Pilly** · September 29th, 2014, 09:54 PM

I felt like all I did was whinge and complain for the first 20 weeks.
I literally had no joy in my life and everyone was so excited about the whole baby thing except me - cause I was just SO miserably sick 24/7.
I would wake up in the morning and just wish it was bed time again cause getting through a day was so bloody hard.
I totally understand you x

So I'm trying a new medication... Restavit - it's a sleeping pill but known for its effects to stop nausea and vomiting. I'm going to try it on the weekend,

**Marley&Me** · October 18th, 2014, 02:13 PM

I don't want to alarm you, but my doctor suggested Restavit when I had bad morning sickness and the pharmacist asked me what I wanted it for. When I mentioned morning sickeness he almost fell over. He said I should definitely not take it whilst pregnant.

**Lilly-Pilly** · October 18th, 2014, 02:47 PM

Restavit was recommended to me also, and I knew a few people who have taken it when pregnant for morning sickness, one of them was a midwife who was pregnant at the time and taking it.
I dot handle anything that makes me drowsy so I stuck to the zofran though

Hmmm, wonder why the pharmacist was all no no about it. I could have used some relief! lol

**Lilly-Pilly** · October 18th, 2014, 04:28 PM

No idea Tasha? Its a bit strange isn't it. Although it's not the first lot of conflicting advice I've heard about medications during pregnancy. Maybe it's quite new, I'd never heard of it before.

**RainbowRiver** · October 18th, 2014, 04:38 PM

Restavit was recommended to me with my first bubs, never really helped a great deal, but nothing usually does in my body!

**Catastrophic** · October 18th, 2014, 06:38 PM

So it's an excellent sleeping tablet... After taking it within an 30mins I was fast asleep... Didn't spew while I was asleep but still feel crap. Definitely not one I can take on a work day.

**Catastrophic** · October 23rd, 2014, 07:02 AM

Just when I thought it was starting to settle. The last few days have been killer. I feel so sick and nauseated. I'm over vomiting and feeling so ill.

Trying to get up to go to work, but moving makes it worse ;(

Cries...

**dinky** · October 23rd, 2014, 08:03 AM

Have you tried the Elevit morning sickness tablets? A friends DD had awful m/s with her first and it was beginning to happen again with this one and she has started taking these twice a day and she reckons they work! I don't know, I haven't heard of them before! Hugs Cat, hope it starts to get better for you soon xxx
