hyperpermesis gravidaum

Anyone else suffering from this? I have a 2yr old and this didn't happen with her. I'm so sick, down 14lbs and am on three nausea medications that arent working. I'm 11 weeks 1 day.

I also suffer from this. I was taking the zofran and it didn't help at all! the switched me to pronethazine,  generic for phenergan, and it works much better I think! see if they can try you on that! hope you feel better, I know it *****!

Look up the zofran pump. I did not know what it was until my midwife told me that if the Reglan didn't work then she would give me the pump.. i have a friend who loved it with her 2 hg pregnancies. I would make an appointment weekly until they do something for you.

I don't have it but my best friend severely had it. She was hooked to an IV for 2 months that administered nausea medication.

I've been on Zofran since 4wks and its not helping. Im on Phenergan suppositories and they aren't helping either. The er gave me reglan and that kinda helps but I still feel awful. Im so weak and tired and just want to drink water without feeling sick. I see my dr on monday and idk how to get her to help me more

I have been suffering with this.. I have been on all three meds and was just about to go on the zofran pump when one day I wanted to see if maybe it was too much meds at once.. i stopped my meds and was great for 3 days then bad for 4.. so I started back on 4mg of zofran and have only been throwing up once a day at the most.. my midwife was a bit upset I just quit my meds but she said I know my body and if it's working then play with the meds.. this is my 4th pregnancy and my other 3 I was never sick. I have also lost 13 lbs. Just keep hydrated and make sure you keep on your dr. I did not want the zofran pump because it scares me but I know someone who had it and loved it.

Sorry to hear you're suffering that bad...I only know what it is because the Duchess of Cambridge Kate is suffering from it too and it's been all over the news here in England. Hope you feel better soon!
