Hyperemesis

[Kimmie033]

Has anyone here been diagnosed with Hyperemesis?  If so, what did it take for your doctor to really take u seriously about your nausea and vomiting? I'm at 13 weeks with severe nausea and vomiting and it seems every time I bring it up to any one including my dr they look at me like I'm making all of this up.I am starting to feel really depressed at this point because I can't get to my normal self and really enjoy being pregnant due to all this sickness. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Your welcome yes definitely talk to your doc ;-) and you are quit right it is all worth it in the end :-)

Thanks sew2009.I will definitely be asking my doctor about the dosage because I really think I should be able to take it more often. I'll be trying the sour drinks :)

Thanks Cecilia. I hope you have a smooth delivery. I'm a first timer and after this I don't even know if I'dwant to rrisk going through this again! Lol! Of course at the end it's all worth it but I at least wna enjoy some part of it. It took my husband and I 3 years so it truly is a blessing but I wasn't expecting all of this. I feel the same way about bathing I only bathe because I have to go to work but if I didn't really have to I wouldn't. Lol! I know it sounds gross but I just feel that bad sometimes.

I had bad morning sickness till 16 wks. Lasted 20 weeks with my others. Took zofran 4 mg.... doc told me to do 2 4mg every eight hrs. Then they switched me to 8mg. Also, sour drinks like Lemon water etc helped keep fluids down right after the meds kicked in. I still would throw up but I could keep at least 1 or 2 meals down a day. Hope your Dr starts paying attention to your needs.

Thanks for the tip! :) I'll ask my doctor about it at my next appointment. I'm just now glad to know I'm not the only one!

I was diagnosed with it first pregnancy I lost 15 lbs in first 2 1/2 months. Ended up in the er puking blood bc all the acid and bile I was puking up wore away my esophagus lining so blood was seeping through. I ended up being admitted had a two day hospital stay with iv zofran and had to take it test of pregnancy I never got better. On average I took 2_3 pills a day so I could eat. Thankfully baby was perfectly healthy. But it is very depressing bc you are right you really can't enjoy your pregnancy bc you are c so sick. I wasnt even able to bathe myself for a time before I got treated bc I was so dehydrated and weak. I really hope you get to feeling better soon! :-) best of luck. After going through that and ending up with a csection it took me 2 years to decide to have another. We are due in December and I am very nearly this time and sooo thankful. I hope things get better for you soon huny.

Omg I know exactly what your going through and it's not fun at all. Luckily I have a really attentive doctor and we have went through all meds for my sickness...maybe u should try this med called diclegis along with the Zofron and promethazine...I know it's alot of meds but they are safe to take for the sickness ur having....hope this helps you

[Kimmie033]

Thank you. I have Zofran the one that dissolves under the tongue. But it's only 4 mg and it says I can only take one every 6 hours.  At first it worked but now it doesn't seem to be working that well anymore I guess my body has gotten use to it already. I'm thinking I may need to ask my doctor if I can up the dosage on it.

I'm sorry your feeling so sick and your Dr isn't being helpful. I wasn't diagnosed with it but I had pretty bad morning sickness until about 11 weeks (I'm 13 now too) and when I brought it up to my Dr he immediately sent me in a prescription for zofran and told me to take it as needed because he didn't want me to be miserable. I would just keep on your Dr about it and if he still won't take you seriously or offer any advice then maybe look for a different Dr or midwife...sorry I can't be more helpful! Good luck!!
