As Bengal said, yup, Maxalon is a prescription anti-nausea tablet. Get a script as soon as you can, it could make all the difference.
Also, on your preggy vitamins, switch to a once a day only brand. The Natures Own tablets are much cheaper, you only need on a day and they contain the same ingredients (more for memory) as Blackmores. They are big tablets but one a day is a lot easier to stomach. : D
I think looking into a prescription for Maxolon is a good idea, I got it from either my GP or OB. Also keeping hydrated is really key so perhaps try something like hydralite or gastrolyte (not sure on those spellings).
It is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
As for the original question, I am 37 weeks and still waiting.....
I lived on maxalon and stemitil in all three of my pregnancies, until about 16 weeks. I found I just couldn't function with out it, and I became dehydrated really easily. I found that eating iceblocks, watermelon and any other fruit with a high sugar content helped a lot as I got the water and sugar to help me through the day.
It does go away eventually, some people are ok at 8 weeks, others suffer the whole pregnancy. But on average it does ease at about 12-14 weeks and you will feel like you have more energy too. If you aren't already, take multivitamines and an iron tablet, as I found when my iron was low it made me feel sick as well.
i am also taking pregnancy & bf tabs and i had low iron from my first blood test so also taking fefol once a day.
so seings my ob appt is not for another 3wks do u think i should ring my ob's office and ask?
I dont know if its related (cause ive been vomitting before this) but yesterday started taking a course of AB, which is just a prevention of infection...i had it through my last pregnancy too as after ds1 was born at 33wks....but one of the side affects i read can be vomitting, so i just dont know how much of it is m/s and if any is related to the AB.
i threw up my vegemite toast thismorning and then started bawling my eyes out...i just hate feeling like this... i gotta start work at 1pm today, drop the kids to MIL before hand, its just so hard to function feeling this way....
