Any ideas or remedies?

I know most of you are aware of my morning sickness struggle (sorry to go on about it) but I was wondering how other people coped? I am taking Maxolon at the moment but it doesn't seem to really help anymore. I have the nausea feeling 24 hours a day. I have truoble eating and sometimes even drinking! I am at my wits end with it all. Does anyone have any ideas that may help?? I have tried the ginger, cold drinks and Ice blocks etc... nothing seems to be helping me!

Thanks in advance,

fi xoxo

 Dear Fi, it saddens me to read that your having such a bad time with morning sickness......you have been given many suggestions on what to try, to help you

For me Maxalon was no good after awhile...but Stemitil was.....and the good old Dexsal....salty crackers & sipping Glucose syrup to replace what my body was losing.

What ever you try please consult your doctor first....with you having such a bad time, your doctor might reccomend a short stay in hospital....so they can give you some relief from the nausea & fluids to hydrate you.

I hope you get some relief very soon....hugs Janice

good old bunderberg ginger beer worked for me, and also sips of coke, and hot chips with chicken salt, bit strange...

It's the worse, but I lived on lemonade, lemons popcicles and ginger ale.  If you can handle it, get some ginger root and cut a slice and eat it.  It's great for settling the stomach for morning sickness, and the lemon is also great, and much tastier.  Hang in there, it's almost over.

The only thing that helped me through constant morning (? as if!!) sickness was sucking on extra strong peppermints.

Give birth. That's what worked for my morning sickness that was 24 hours a day from 3 weeks till the birth. It is horrible but I tried everything and was on medication and in and out of hospital for dehydration and malnutrician and when I gave birth is when it stopped. I hope others out there can give you more hope.

Oh Fi, I know how bad it can be.  With my first, I couldn't even keep the Maxalon down long enough for it to take effect.  Even sips of water bounced straight back up and in the end, I had to go to hospital as my life and bubs life were at risk.  There, I was given intravenous Maxalon and fluids,  which worked, was kept nil by mouth for the first day and then only allowed to eat liquid foods.   This trip was taken 3 times, the last being on my birthday and I was 14 weeks.

This intense morning sickness is called Hypermesis Grevadium, and is characterised by constant vomiting to the point of risking life.  Actually, one of the Bronte sisters died from it, Charlotte I believe.

Any how, try some plain, salty chips.  They give back much needed salt to your body and are bland enough to cause less irritation.  Every time you are sick, have some more, because you need to keep replacing that salt.  Also, sip your super chilled drinks and chew on ice cubes.  I found that drinking normally didn't work.

Try not to get overly warm, as that will not help either.  The cooler you are, the better, but don't try and live in the freezer!!!!!!!

I really feel for you Fi.  For me, it was very scary and worrying.  I also remember almost decking my doctor for saying it was a good sign.  Oh, and I would say, you are expecting another little girl!!!!

I saw you answered the q about negative blood groups and needles, and that you too are a negative blood group.  Not sure why, but us negative mums (only in blood type of course!!!) seem to suffer more with morning sickness.
