To those of you who have had BAD morning sickness!! :\(
Well, for the last 3 days I feel worse than ever. Can't keep down water or anything, and I feel so weak. Have been to the doctor, visited an after hours clinic that NHS direct sent me to, and off to doc again later...
Got anti sickness tablets from the out of hours clinic but I can't see how they'll work because I'm sick too often for them to get into my system.
It's really worrying thinking about your little bean having no nutrition or even liquid (
Given up worrying about work cus there's no way in hell I could be there today...
Woe is me!! Anyone else who has suffered I would love to hear from you! xx

Have you been diagnosed with hyperemesis? This is what i had and couple of other girls on here have had it too... it really is horrible. I ended up in hospital on a drip several times and was signed off work. The anti sickness drugs do work if you can hold them down long enough!
Don't worry about your bubs - the reason you feel so poor is because he/she is taking all your goodness. Try and get water down you if you can (trust me i know how hard it is to even do this sometimes) and if you really can't keep going back to your doctor - you need to be admitted for fluids if you can't even keep water down.
It does end eventually - how far along are you?
There's a good website with a bit of help and advice here: http://www.hyperemesis.org/

The nurses told me it was a good sign I was sick because my hormones were high and baby was fine.
Thanks for your replies, I really feel for you both having had it so long. 3 days is nothing I know, but just worried it will carry on.
I'm really hoping the doctor this afternoon takes me seriously - I feel a bit out of control sat at home, and it can't be right not even being able to keep down a sip of water...
Thanks again girls xx
I replied yesterday to your post about feeling guilty being off school - don't let that continue because that will make you feel worse! I'm a teacher too and have been off since September - remember that schools have insurance policies to deal with long term sickness so take as much time as you need to get through it!
I too have hyperemesis - I started being sick at 4 1/2 weeks and I'm now 36 1/2 weeks and still have it! I must stress that mine is a very severe and unusual case - most people do not suffer all the way through!!! I lost 3 and a half stone, and only just now weigh more than I did at the beginning - that's the silver lining!!!
It is a horrible condition - I've spent many weeks in hospital and it took a long time to find the correct medication for me.. Since 16 weeks, I have been prescribed ondansetron (in suppository format as I can't keep the tablets down!) which I take every two days and they do keep it more under control, although I am still sick most days!!
Don't worry about the baby's development - I literally ate nothing for days and sometimes weeks on end, and could barely keep any fluids down either and my little one is doing really well - growing as she should be and very active! Babies are parasitic, so they take everything that they need from you, leaving you with sod all and feeling terrible, but you don't care as long as the babe is OK!
Each time I started to feel better when I was in hospital, I found that eating tiny amounts of fresh pineapple and a little yoghurt helped, but don't try this until you are on the mend or you'll never eat it again!!!!
I really hope that your doctor listens to you today - mine was great when he finally understood how awful it was becoming and admitted me to hospital on a weekly basis without even seeing me!
The website that JamDonut mentioned is great - I used it a lot to check that how I was feeling was just the hyperemesis and nothing more severe!!
Please keep in touch and feel free to email me to moan - depression is a very common side effect of hyperemesis and the best way to avoid this is to chat to others...
Sorry, just realised that I've written an epic!!!

Just back from doc and she is sending me to hospital as I have ketones in my urine. Waiting for hubby to get home so he can take me. Oh the drama of being pregnant - I thought ttc was tough! xx

Glad you are feeling a little better for now - have you got some drugs? Which ones? If you can eat anything, now is a good time to try - my consultant always recommends yoghurt and soup - those sorts of consistencies apparently suit your tum when it's been battered as yours has!
Thinking of you...
