hyperemesis/excess saliva.. FED UP!

[Tierney]

Hi, I'm also suffering with hypermesis into my fourth week with it. Have been on avomine, buccastem and now cyclizine but am so tired from the tablets and have a 18 month old to look after as well. I can't wait for this part of the pregnancy to be over. With my little girl it lasted until 20 weeks hoping it doesn't last as long this time around. Anyone on there second, third etc pregnancy did the hypermesis start and finish at the same time?

Hi lovely ladies!
I'm 9weeks 4 days now. In my 4th week off work. All I do is sit on the couch all day, don't even read or watch tv most of the time just sit there. But feeling moderately better today so thought id say hello!
I'm on ondansetron (zofran) I take 4mg about every 5hrs, max 12mg a day. Then half a restavit (unisom) & B6 at night. I'm scared as I haven't been taking my prenatals but too scared they'll make me sicker.
If I get cold, like when I have to leave the house which I only do if I can't avoid, I gag & puke constantly. Yesterday driving home from dropping my kids at school I had to pull over to puke into a bucket 5x and it's a 5min drive!
In saying all of that I'm actually heaps better than I have been with other pregnancies. I can eat but drinking anything is a major problem.
Oh and the hospital were useless. They gave me 2days worth of meds to last me till November! Gee thanks! You're right, they just don't get it. Lucky I have a wonderful GP who will prescribe me as much as I need. I just have to fork out big bucks for it but oh we'll it's worth it.
Not sure if this is as bad as I'll get or the worst is yet to come. When did you all 'peak' and is anyone feeling any relief yet?
Thoughts & prayers with all you amazing ladies. XO

I have hyperemesis and today got diagonsed with a UTI...so im puking from one end and burning pee from the other...needless to say im feeling utterly miserable and took the day off work.

Im also suffering form major back pains and for some reason the hypermesis is waking me up at night to puke so im barely getting more then 4 hours sleep and thats not easy when you have a 2 year old to chase around!

I was told it *might* ease up a tiny bit after the 20 week mark....we'll see!

Oh I feel a bit of hope. I am 18+1 weeks so reading that it may ease up at 20 weeks is exciting! I have the super bad nausea and the HORRIBLE extra saliva problem! I spit like a camel constantly. So annoying. I was throwing up every night but has been better the last few nights. I do dry heave constantly and am close to throwing up constantly. I have zofran but it does nothing for me! I asked dr. for the meds to make the saliva dry up but he said they cause heart to speed up. I was so bummed! Here's to hoping it magically disappears at 20 weeks.

Was so excited.....I had a day with no meds and felt good. No nausea! Woken up this morning and been sick! So annoyed. Thought that was the beginning of the end. Think it was because I was absolutely shattered! Went to friends for the afternoon and ended up sleeping on her settee! How I managed that with 9 children running around I will never know!

Hii ladies I started this post when I was 19wks, I'm now 38 weeks I actually can't believe I've made it, I still won't believe I've made it until baba arrives! Livsmom I'm sorry to hear what your doc said about the saliva tablets mine never mentioned increase in heart rate, I've been chewing sugar free chewing gum for months now, 2 weeks and itl finally be over I can't remember what it feels like to have a normal mouth lol. sickness and bloating eased off no end for me from like 30-36 weeks but been having some rotten days again recently not constant tho so it's much easier to deal with. There is an ending to it all we just gotta stay strong till we get there.. Which DOES happen!! How women go on to do it all again il never know lol I'm not even gonna consider it for another 10 years haha. Good luck girlies what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and all that yeah

Rachw16 I can't believe you are almost there! Hope nasty sickness stays away. Mine is so much better although I was sick this morning for the first time in ages. Think it is from being so tired! I bet you will do it again soon! You forget pretty quickly how bad it was! I am now on my fourth but I think I have a short memory and so far drugs have worked reasonably well!
Hope all the other ladies are doing well!
Keep smiling
