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

Just like the title suggest. I'm taking maxalon tablets but they are not working. Now spewing up bile (so not pretty)...

Do you ladies have a magic cure?

ATM I'm slowly eating a dry biscuit in hope it stays down but I feel so nauseated.

Could you have gastro too? There's a really really nasty strain going around.

Cold green apples, Zofran wafers, and fizzy drink helped me when I had bad m/s

:hug: it's so awful :( I too found tiny sips of fizzy drink helped sometimes.

At this point you need to try and get some hydration going and worry about food later, if you have any hydralyte (sp) have small amounts of that as liquid or ice chips, or failing that water or fruit juice or codial as liquid or ice chips.

Hydrolyte drink or icy poles if not to emerg for ondanastron and IV flluids. Hope better soon xox

The dry biscuit didn't stay down...
Don't know about gastro.

I'm having little sips of fizzy drink but it's barely staying down.

I have doctors in three hours maybe she can help me avoid hospital.

I hope you're ok Cat. Let us know how it goes at the dr.

Thanks Lou xo

Dr has give me a jab of maxalon and some ondansotron wafers. If this doesn't help it's hospital.

BP down to 90/60.

Going to sleep now

Barley sugar. The only thing I could handle weeks 6-16 when feeling very spewy. Hugs.

Have manage to keep a little dinner down, although feels like it's about to repeat on me :-/

Ugh feeling so sick :( my stomach is cramping, still struggling to keep good down, although I have been.

It sound pretty awful Cat. I hope things settle down really soon for you.

I've ummed and ahhed about saying anything on this thread ... because I was super sick both pregnancies - until about 34 weeks with DS1, and right up until the day DS2 was born :(

BUT (and the reason I eventually decided to post) the good news is both babies were (and are!) 100% completely fine. It was so crap for me, and I really feel for you, but for every person's good intentions in offering solutions (which I tried and tried and tried) or saying that I'd feel better after the first trimester, or after week 17, or after the morphology, or after ... or after ... or after ... it just didn't let up. That got me rather down at times, and I was pretty stressed about bubs, wondering what on earth would they be getting, on the not infrequent days I couldn't keep anything down!

But it was nine months - but the babies were so fine, and so healthy, and got everything they needed, and so I guess even though this isn't your first rodeo, I thought I'd come in and say - I hope you feel better really soon! But even if you don't, and even if you need medical assistance, hydration, etc, try not to let it freak you out.

I'm sure you know this, but I thought I'd come and give you a :hug: and some :comfort: and say even if it's crap, you'll make it, this too shall pass, and your baby is still bewilderingly getting everything they need.

I was exactly the same, violent MS for the whole pregnancy with DD and for 5 months with this one. The wafers you have were my life saver, and I lived on them for the first 22 weeks. They cost me $50 for 10 wafers but the $$ didn't matter to me - anything to give me slight relief was worth it. I still felt rotten 24/7, and I still feel rotten now at 31 weeks but they literally saved me from being bedridden and from throwing up ALL day
Everyone suggested all types of food, drinks, ginger, b6, chewy, mints, peppermint etc and even the suggestions made me wanna throw up.
I too would vomit dry biscuits, water, even the plainest of things.
Ondansetron wafer are the best!

Currently lying in bed crying. This all day sickness sucks...

Oh Cat, I so wish that I was closer to you! I just want to hug you right now! I really feel for you! It does suck! I had some pretty horrible bouts of sickness when I was PG and it was horrific. Thankfully I managed to go in waves of a couple of weeks at a time, then a couple of good weeks.

I am praying that this is just a short phase for you and that it buggers off real soon! I don't have any advice, I bet you have tried everything anyway! I lived on jelly and 2 min noodles for a month at one stage, very healthy!

Thinking of you gorgeous...you know where I am if you want to chat or anything!!!

Cat you poor thing :( it's just awful. Have the wafers helped at all?

Hugest hugs...

It really, really does suck.

Can you sleep? Does music or anything give you a little distraction? Fresh air? Audiobooks?

Not that these things "fix", but do any help distract?

Sleep is good. I used to come home from work and go straight to bed just so I didn't have to feel nauseas for one minute longer. I really hope you are feeling better soon x

There is a HG group thread on here I remember joining that was helpful to.
I vomited up until the day DD was born and didn't feel not sick for about 3 days after. It's horrible :(

Thank you ladies xox the wafers are taking off some of the vomiting, I've only vomited twice today instead of almost everything yesterday

Scrap that twice.... Dinner didn't stay down either.my throat hurts.

I like sleeping to tasha - the room doesn't spin

The more sleep the better ... I really hope you are well soon.

:hug:

Successfully chocked on spew while peeing myself... That's a new highlight of the pregnancy I'd have to say :-/

Oh no. :( I had the exact same highlight last pg. I wasn't a fan.

I have no real advice except that thankfully, everything is temporary in the end. Huuugs.

This too shall pass... Just keep telling myself that... This too shall pass...

Any more magic cures?

This can't be maintained....

I can't drive ten mins down the road without getting horrendously nauseated and vomiting,

what do you find sets you off?

eg: smells, sweet taste in mouth, things touching your tongue, the thought of food ... smells -v- textures -v- tastes?

Peanutterr - everything...

Moving too fast, driving, not eating, eating, strong smelling food (meat cooking/broccoli/cheese etc)

I haven't read your whole thread, but I just wondered if you are taking zofran regularly?

Yes bloom.

Have you been on a drip for rehydration at any point since this thread started? If you haven't you need to be either presenting to an ER or getting an opinion from your Dr as to when you should go. Hydration is key in your position, the key danger and key to feeling better.
Also with the Zofran I find it works best if I take it before getting out of bed and I stay laying down for 1/2 hour after I've taken. Also, in consultation with my OB I am splitting my dose (breaking the wafer in half) and having half in the morning and half in the afternoon which seems to be working better. Maybe check with your Dr if this is an option for you?

How much sleep are you getting?

Something that helped sometimes (not all the time - but sadly nothing worked all the time) was putting on some classical music (Holst's "Planets" worked best - nothing which made me feel like there was movement, ITMS) which helped me to fall asleep, and getting a good solid 10 hours. 12-14 was better, but 10 was stretching it a lot of the time. But extra sleep did help the other symptoms.


For the sweet gross flavour, I found mineral water cut through it well. Sometimes just gargling with it a bit was all I could manage, but it still helped - I couldn't brush my teeth, because having the brush touching my teeth or tongue kicked my gag reflex right off, and I would just spew and spew.


For the moving, nothing helped ... I just did it - because if I stopped and started, that was even worse.


With the smell, nothing helped for me, but a friend used to carry a little ziplock bag with a vanilla bean, which she'd smell periodically to counteract other smells. Not sure if that (or some mint, or lavender, or something?) would help you?


Not eating and eating are awful - everyone and their dog seems to say eating small amounts frequently, but that didn't help me. I tried all sorts of different things, teas, gum, etc, no bone.


One thing I never tried, but was willing to try, was acupuncture. I've heard some great results - but the places I found who did it were all not get-to-able. Is there one near you?


And needless to say, Sagres is right about the hydration. If you can't keep it down on your own, do get it medically.


Stay safe, keep well, hang in there :) :comfort:

I also agree about the hydration.
My Ob called it breaking the cycle, I had horrible 24/7 sickness with DD3 & I found once I had the drip & zofran through the I.V for a few days I was able to better control it...for awhile anyways.

I hope your able to get some relief soon x

Sages - no drip. I do take the zofran before I get out of bed, while I'm having my cuppa tea and biscuits - then another in the afternoon. I usually don't vomit now until I get to work (the drive to work and walk in there makes me nauseated plus plus)

Peanutterr I'm exhausted so I have been getting more sleep then I ever have. I'm in bed by 8, asleep by 830-9. Wake up at 6 (plus a few times during the night to pee). I do have a number for accupunture but because I work full time it's hard to find time to make an appointment

Thanks Cheshire xox

Lying in bed at the moment - can feel my stomach up in my throat.... Need to get up and go to work and can just feel today is going to suck :(

oh that does suck catastropic. HG is so hard. it has certainly impacted plans of mine ot have more kids....just the thought...ugh!

I hope that it passes soon enough for you though and you get some respite!

I hope that the sleep starts helping, love.

I completely get what you mean with the acupuncture - I was the same. I got the number, I called to find time when they are open, but it wasn't doable with full time work :(

So today is a good day...

I have only vomited twice! And dry reached a bout a few times...

I'm calling it a win!
