Hi there,
I have horrible pregnancy sickness (read : hyperemesis), and I don't know what to do anymore.
I have thrown up practically every day since 6 weeks of pregnancy. I seem to be getting worse, not better the further along I get.
In the last 48 hours, I have kept nothing down apart from a very small amount of pasta and a few sips of water last night. I don't even attempt to eat before 1.30/2pm each day as I am so sick each morning. I have just brought my lunch and drink back up.
Most of the time, I am bringing up blood and bile. My throat is sore, and my voice has been affected. My teeth are destroyed. I am trying my hardest to be as positive as I can, but the last 2 days have been pretty horrific. I don't know who to talk to about this? I don't feel as if it's a medical emergency,as when I am not being sick, I feel alright.
I have low iron and am on tablets... but haven't taken any for 3 days because they won't stay down. I have tried both maxalon and zofran and neither have had any affect.
I am so worried about the damage this might be causing my body. I seem to get fobbed off quite a bit because I am coping so well.... but it's just that I put on a brave face all the time.
I don't want to call the midwives, because I am not in labour, and as I said earlier, I don't feel like this is an emergency and wouldn't want to hassle anyone. Is there anyone else I could call about this? I've got 12 weeks to go, and I'm just getting so worn down by all of this. It's affecting nearly every facet of my life.
