I know how she feels. I cried for weeks, and then when I found out it was only one baby I cried more because I wanted twins to get it over with haha. Now here I am doing it again so my son has a friend. Im done though, I hope she feels better really soon, and that her doc sees her at least by 7 or 8 weeks so she can start a better med

@rachel8792, im trying to tell her the positive bt shes so upset😞

I can imagine, I used to get scared with my son, but my mom told me, as long as you are sick, you will know the baby is there...it sounds bad, but my mom had it for 7 months, and with one of my siblings that she lost, she knew right away when she stopped vomiting. Idk if it will help give her peace of mind, but it did for me in a odd wierd way. The doc can also set her up on a constant iv feed where a nurse will visit her home once a day, and change the fluid bag. It was offered to me, but I was afraid my son would try to play with it, and tear the iv out or something. But i do know a couple girls on here who have it, and it really is a lifesaver since it feeds her everything she needs

@rachel8792, she has to go to get iv again but hopefully her dr can get her in soon 😞 i feel bad cz she lost the baby in her first pregnancy nnow all of this

If she has it, there may be a chance that no med will work for her, or there could be one that helps. She will have bad days and good days with the medicine, but the goal is to maintain weight. If she continues to call, and bug her doctor for some meds, he will start to care more, and do what he has to. Some docs are mean, she may want to consider switching while shes early on. Everyone told me eat this, or drink this, if she has hyperemisis not even a sip of water will stay down, but tell her not to worry, the first trimester the baby is small, and will grow, she just has to learn to balance her weight and try not to lose. I just kinda figured it out again, and im 12 weeks :/ I started out at 4 weeks. But hey if she had an insurance that doesnt have a co pay for er, shoot I would be in the er all the time for fluids, and meds. I have a $150 copay so I had to choose when to go :/

@rachel8792, thts wt they told her at the et tht she has... Sooo idk??? Her dr is acting like he dnt care

Hope she feels better soon, its hard, but worth it in the end

diclegis,reglan, and zofran didn't help me only phenegrin and when my body grew immune to it that was that once again miserable. Tell her to speak to her Ob none of the meds are expensive I paid $5 max

@rachel8792, i told her to ask her dr about it hun

Nothing helped me until I got prescribed zofran

Its part of it, sounds like she has hyperemisis too.. I have lost 20 lbs so far with this second pregnancy, diclegis was the only thing that saved me, now I can eat little meals and maintain the weight that I do have. I gain 1lb, but then I lose it if I try to get up and walk, its hard. I was hospitalized 7 times with my first pregnancy so I know she is suffering, it aint easy. She can ask about diclegis, but if she isnt comfortable with any meds, she can try vitamin b6 by itself. its a vitamin, so its not bad. But i really would suggest diclegis to at least try. She has a long way to go still even if its just for the first trimester so its worth a try

@rachel8792, shes on metoproclamide 10mg but its not helping, she cant eat or drink nun n has been to er to get fluids thru iv already twice... Shes only 6wks

Its expensive though, $600/bottle, with insurance I paid $40/bottle. She can get a sample from her doc to try it out

yeah, that would be zofran, there have been cases against it. Thats when I discovered diclegis, and its honestly a lifesaver. No association with any birth defects, and is designed for pregnant women

@rachel8792, they offered her some meds but they arent so safe for the baby n she refuses to take them

women

She may get zofran, or diclegis prescribed, but diclegis is specifically formulated for pregnant woman

vitamin b6 until she can get a prescription from a doctor

I have severe hyperemisis, and the main ingredient is vitamin b6
