scared and confused ftm

I'm 13 weeks pregnant and haven't seen the doctor yet.
I didn't have any morning sickness early on. But now my body is weak and I feel so lethargic. I cant eat or drink anything it'll just come straight back up. Its been like this for three days now, I'm so weak I can barely walk and having baf tummy pains. Anyone else go through this or have advice?

Thanks everyone, I appeciate the advice and help. Hopefully everything will be okay and i'll only need an iv and then be sent home. Fingers crossed.

I feel for you. Hopefully something will help. But it defiantly would be smart to get a iv hooked up for the extra fluids. But I, think they also make a certain tea for nausea.  But I'm not 100% on that.

We don't have any sprite right now , its usually the first thing I turn to when I'm sick, so I'll get my partner to get some tomorrow. I've never been able to stomach ginger just the smell makes me feel sick.

Have you tried sprite or ginger ale? Also once you start going to your ob I'd ask for zofran. I took that.  It helped so much for me!

Ok don't submerge the chia seeds. Just have some water with them. The Chia seeds will look sorta like jelly but it'll help with some water

One of my housemates have chia seeds, ill try that. My dad finishes work in an hour, he's going to come get me and take me to emergency after that. I've gone through two litres of water in the past hour.

If you are vomiting that much, stop drinking, you'll just dehydrate yourself more by doing that. Go to the hospital as soon as possible but until you get there rest your stomach and don't eat or drink ANYTHING

Hun have you ever heard of Chia seeds? If not see if you can find some there. I know it's late so you couldn't look tonight. But you can mix them some water. Not a lot of water. The Chia seeds will absorb the water and I should Look almost like a jelly type of consistency you can eat that and then you can also get the water in the vitamins from the chia seeds.
Take slow sips of water a ever few minutes. Also if you have celery it has a lot of water in it. Really any water you can get in would be great.

I'm under 18 (I'm 17) and can't get ambulance insurance yet so it will cost a fortune.. if I need to though I will.
I'm trying to drink as much water as I can but all I do is start gagging until I vomit again - I can't stop the gagging either or I start to choke. My vomit is now just a clear whitish colour (tmi) but I'm really starting to worry. Having hot and cold flushes and I've already had really low vitamin levels and had to got to hospital overnight a few weeks ago..

Go to the er! You sound very dehydrated and that can be very bad for you and baby. I had to go to the er like 7 times early on in my pregnancy because of vomiting and dehydration.
