worried :(

I've had really really bad sickness I'm 11 weeks and had it every day since I was 5 weeks I'm really worried it's harming the baby I just tried ringing the midwife and they said to go to miu which was pretty useless. I'm scared It's harmed the baby :(

I take zofran , and reglan because one medication isn't enough . I take 8mg zofran , 10 mg reglan . Ask for the dissolve tablets . If this continues into your 2nd trimester , and gets worse like mine , you should ask your doctor about a PICC line . I have one in for IV fluids , IV vitamins , and IV zofran . It's the only thing that helps me anymore .

Ohh and ginger helps with nausea , only thing that helps me when my medication isn't enough , I drink ginger ale , or ginger tea , but hard ginger candies work . So do preggy pops , you can buy them at BabiesRUs .

It won't harm that baby at all ! I have hyperemsis , which severe morning sickness through your whole pregnancy . I lost over 30 pounds in 5 days from puking every 5-15 minutes , no joke . Your doctor could prescribe you a anti-nausea medication , I personally use zofran , it's given to chemo patience who are constantly nauseous , and vomiting . My son is healthy as can be , and I'm 37 weeks , 2 days . Your baby will get all their nutrients from the resivors in your body .

Call yourdoctor in the morning and ask for zofran. It works for alot of women. It helps with nausea which will help keep things down. Your baby is okay! Its taking whatever it needs from you which could be why youre so sick

Like morning sickness? Its very normal. Some women get it worse than others, its nothing to worry about. Just make sure to take your prenatals, drink water to stay hydrated and try and eat and hold as much food down as possible.
