Tell your dr everything that's going so he can prescribe you something for sickness and if he/she needs to and it's gotten really bad then he may put you in the hospital for observation and to get the minerals back in your body that you and your baby need

Oh and the cramps can be from dehydration. Hope it all works out for you!

Call your doctor's office. She'll want to know that you can keep anything down. There are medicines and remedies out there to help with any medical issue. My doctor put it to me this way, "if you are suffering, so is baby, so call us with any concern."

I have thought about it cause I have been experiencing a lot of cramping and it last all day long . I'm also undergoing a very complicated relationship , it's been very stressful , he's been just awful to me . And I can't leave I have no where to go . I'm just freaking out in everywhere way possible

Call your doc. Mine prescribed me zofran. Miracle in a dissolving tablet. :)

You should ask your doctor if there is anything they can prescribe to help. My friend had the same thing with her when she was pregnant and she had to carry a little machine that was attached to her by iv and pump medicine to her every few hours.
