I really have no advice hun but I had REALLY bad morning sickness with this pregnancy. I have lost almost 20lbs from it. I just wanted to give you a hug and it will get better hang in there!

This is YOUR pregnancy and no one elses!!!!!!

I was on 2 different anti-sickness tablets as I had hyperemesis gravidum. One was a standard anti-sickness prescribed with chemo, the other was a stronger one prescribed for chemo which I also had to take. I really had no choice as I was having to keep going to hospital for dehydration as I could not even keep water down nevermind eat! I lost 21lbs in 3 weeks....... There is NO WAY a hospital would prescribe these things if you did not need them. OK there are a few that they really only like to prescribe if absolutely necessary, but it is a case of weighing up your health & well being too, as if you are not fit to handle the pregnancy, what will that do long-term to you and inturn your baby?

It is simply no one esles business except you and your Doctor! x

I didn't see this thread yesterday, was just going to say, don't tell them your taking the medicine its none of their business anyway

Glad you feel better!

I'm really sorry you feel that way, I hope you feel better soon

Glad you are having relief. I just got over that intense morning sickness...

My insurance wouldn't cover the Zofran at all, and it was going to cost nearly a grand a month to put me on it... DH was so at his wits end with me he said 'we'll figure out a way to pay for it... you need it!' LOL

My doc thankfully advised I take a unisom tablet with a b-6 vitamin and that helped tremendously. It was about $40 total for 2 1/2 months worth of taking it every day.

Just wanted to mention my story as another option to explore with docs of women who are going through the same thing, who either have an aversion to prescription drugs while pregnant or have financial limitations.

Remember two things:

1.It is absolutely NOT their business! It's your body and who is to judge you for wanting to eat??? And NOT throw up??? You're doing yourself and the baby more harm by not being able to eat! You both need the nourishment!

2. THEY are NOT the ones who have to be sick, so they have absolutely NO idea what they're even talking about. I've been much like you this time around- although I have a few good days here and there where I can eat. But when I'm sick, NOTHING helps! I don't even have it as bad as you and I'm thinking about talking to my doctor for help!


Good luck hun!!!

Glad you have done what you think is right...to hell with what anyone thinks you wont get any praise for suffering..hope you are feeling bettter
