    i had terrible all day and night nausea with my current twin pregnancy... I wanted to try and stay as low level as I could manage with regards to medication so my doctor gave me vitamin b6 & unisom to take At night... it has helped a lot!

    Claire the tablets the doc gave me when I was preg with number 1 baby were cyclazine  I have to say they didn't help much 

    There was an injection i has can't remember it's name it had a 'De' in the name ( not much help i know)  but that worked... doc will know different types. 

    I suffered with constanxt gipping through entire preg and I'm here about to TTC  all over again hahahaha.  

    Good luck. X

    Thank you for your help! I spoke to my gp on the phone today and they were unhelpful. I am fully aware this is just a part of pregnancy but basically they don’t want to intervene until I’m being sick 5/6 times a day. I did try to say that I think I’m not being sick that often because I’m hardly eating anything 😫 ive got nothing to bring up but when I do it definitely comes up! oh well positive thoughts and hopefully will pass. the acid from being sick has made my throat stupidly sore. 

    good luck TTC! In my current state I can’t get my head around doing this again 😂😂

    Hi you're welcome  and thanks.  I can't believe they didn't help you.  Maybe go in to see doc in person.... ?

    Eat when you can but keep your fluids up if you can.   I ate a lot of crystalised ginger if ou can stand it and ginger tea (yak but helped slightly)  oh and ginger biscuits....

    Much sickness means a girl I heard..... but you know it's 50/50 Haha. 

    If you have a lot of heartburn it means they have a lot of hair.... oh and they're generally boys from my experience! 

    I said I'd never do it again.  I could give you a list of reasons why not but every pregnancy is different.   The sickness should ease off by the end of first trimester (apparently)  

    Take care and all the best to you. X

    Hi I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant and still suffer from sickness, it hasn't gone since it started which was week 7.

    When i first started with it, the doctors gave me cyclizine and I've been on them sincerely, they do help me. I wish i didn't have to take them, i have tried to go a day without taking one but i can't eat without feeling sick if i don't take one x
