anyone else with severe nausea

I'm 6weeks and for past three days cant eat and can barely drink more than a few sips. I keep gagging and vomiting spit. Been up all night long miserable. Doc said if my urine don't get lighter go to ER for fluids and meds.  I'm hesitant to take meds as I'm already high risk don't want to worry about side effects too but I'm sooo miserable just laying around. I want to clean and go outside but I cant focus on anything. Anyone else?

What helped me was Gatorade and ginger ale. I felt like I was sick for a long time too. It passes but man it was hard. With medication drs seemed to try least potent and go from there. You think its good when you start getting better then there's heartburn. Turns out in my case that heartburn medication worked the best.

even though you are hesitant about medications you should ask your doctor for something called Zofran. I am also high risk and I had the WORST sickness all the way up to my 6th month. It is 100% safe for you and baby. IT IS A MAGIC PILL!!!!!!!!

Do try taking zofran, it really helps. I took it when i had a stomach bug, i was throw-up every half hour and had diarhhea (lost 3lbs in water in one morning) i couldn't keep anything down. Then i took the zofran, and i could eat bland food and rehydrate and i was fine. They alomst send me for IV fluids too.
I'm hypersensitive to medication (i take children's doses of cold meds, can't even take advil, and get drunk from half a glass of wine - all when not pregnant) i have no sideeffects from the zofran, just a little sleep. It disolves on your tongue and it creamy strawberry flavored.
It is safe for the baby, you being dehydrated and malnurished is not.

I'm high risk too and was the same way. My Dr have me zofran and it has worked wonderfully and haven't had side effects (knock on wood). Another thing my Dr did was changed my prenatal vitamin. He had me on a prescription and told me to take an over the counter one to see if that helped at all. It was an amazing change! Also, make sure to take it at night and to try and eat some crackers first thing in the morning to get something in your stomach. The candies work well too. You can message me if you want to. I know exactly how you feel, especially being high risk to top it off! Good luck!

Try the seabands, they helped me.  I had flavor hard candy to suck on whenever i felt naueous. Than saltine crackers.  They have medication that's safe to take while prego to stop vomiting. But u need to try eat food not so heavy and stay hydrated so u don't become dehydrated
