Extreme morning sickness

[amandan]

Hi all,

Just wondering if there are others who have been hospitalized for dehydration due to exreme morning sickness... Mostly I'm curious about when or if it started to get better? I am currently 12 weeks 4 days, and still so sick. Been in the hospital for a few days and feel so worried!

 

Any uplifting stories?

Hi Amanda!

 

Better by now?

 

I had this condition with two of my 3, it started at about 4 weeks, and ended at 15-16 weeks.

 

You write that you are worried. Rest asured that the baby is doing fine. You will be too!

 

Have you tried "everything"? Gingerwater? Magnet-bracelets? Very tiny regular meals turned out to be the only thing that got me through the day, I kept salinas and kornmo in my bag, and a bottle of pure still water with a piece of fresh-cut ginger in it.

 

God bedring!!!

Hi Iris!

 

I am getting there! I was in the hospital for a week, and then suddenly (the day we had an early ultrasound) I was able to eat and drink, and the vomiting stopped. It's a week yesterday that I have been able to keep my food and drink down... It was a worriesome experience, but as you said, the baby is fine. It was such a relief to see the baby and know it was ok!

 

Before I went to the hospital, I had tried everything. The Seabands didn't work, I couldn't go near anything with ginger for some reason, and I tried eating just about everything under the sun. In the end, I lost almost 15 pounds, so now I am working on gaining some of it back.

I'm so tired these days, and I go back to work on Monday, so I'm wondering how my need to eat every 2 hours and my fatigue is going to play into all of this. Thankfully, I still can't eat sweet things, chips or pop, so I am eating healthy foods!

 

Now I am 14 weeks and although I have queasy days, it seems to be fading... All I can advise to others who suffer this, is to just hold on and take comfort from friends and family!
