Unfortunately this is quite normal, but it doesn't make it any easier to deal with.
She needs to go to the doctor. They will be able to help her with this.
Its really bad. Vomiting constantly all day. They wanted to put her on zofran but he refused.
If she is vomiting all day then she is going to be very dehydrated. That's dangerous during pregnancy. She needs to find some antisickness medication that works for her or else she'll probably end up being admitted to hospital and put on IV fluids.
My morning sickness never responded to the standard sickness meds prescribed during pregnancy, but Ondansetron worked for me very well. It's a category B for pregnancy, so pretty safe, although if she's fastideously cautious then she may not want to try it.
She really does need to speak to her doctor about this urgently.
Shes going back today to the doctor. Shes at 12 weeks now this is when its supposed to be almost be better. Just hoping it goes away soon. Its depressing for both of us. Almost makes you feel guilty about getting her pregnant...
Most women who suffer morning sickness are not getting better at 12 weeks, I'm not sure where she has heard that from. She's at the worst of it right now. It's usually more like 16-20 weeks for it to go away. For me it was always closer to 20...
Don't feel guilty! You are both doing something amazing. This is difficult time but it's also an exciting one. Just keep being supportive. If there are any foods or drinks that she can keep down then bring them to her, no matter what time of day or night.
Write down a list of questions/concerns for the doctor. Don't leave the appointment until you feel like you've made some progress with all of them. Good luck!
Idk I believe we read somewhere that 80% of women feel better after 14 weeks. Could be bs. But anywho I tell you this is a rollercoaster ride idk if we are gonna have another. She just left the doctor and had another miscarriage scare. They couldnt hear the heartbeat but could see it with the ultrasound. This woulda been her 3rd miscarriage but it turned out to be nothing. Hopefully she gets better.
When there's a unborn child involved, going to a physician is always good.
She wouldn't even take anti depressants when she was breastfeeding our last. There's no way she'd go for that. She wont take anything while pregnant.
You have a conscientious and selfless partner. Some women don't even consider what could augment their breast milk, some don't even think anything needs to change while pregnant
I don't know either of you, but try to be strong with her, not just for her. She probably understands the sacrifices she's making
stay away from her as much as possible. Find some side booty to bang until it blows over.
