Hello!
Firstly, I'm very sorry for posting a thread about morning sickness when there are probably a million and one already. However, I'm in a bit of a pickle.
I'm exactly eight weeks pregnant with my first baby, and thus far I've had it pretty easy. I've had the odd bit of nausea from week 6 onwards, but I've only been sick a handful of times and haven't had trouble keeping food down.
All of that changed this morning. I've been violently sick over thirty times today. I felt queasy on my commute this morning (I work full time and commute via train) bit when I got to work today, it just hit relentlessly. I stuck it out until half 2 but threw up over twenty times while I was there. I came home (no idea how I managed not to be sick on the train) and have spent the rest of the day alternating between throwing up and sleeping.
It's awful because I'm dehydrated, but I literally can't keep anything down. Dry crackers, cereal, even water: everything comes right back up.
I'm starting to wonder if I might actually be ill. It's probably wishful thinking, but the things that make me wonder if it could be something else are:
* How suddenly it's intensified
* I also have quite nasty diarrhoea, which I haven't had so far with my queasiness
If you were in my position, would you go to the doctor? If it was anything else, I'd try to man up, but I suffer from mild emetophobia so every episode of vomiting comes with a panic attack.
(I should add, I don't have a midwife yet as they can't fit me in for a booking appointment until I'm 11.5 weeks gone!)
