Those of you who had ondansatron orally, how did you find it? I am on day 2 of taking it and really struggling. I am not being sick as often but am wretching all the time and it is so painful! The nausea is also alot worse which is what I find happens when I am not being sick.
Also did you become constipated? I am really bunged up and really struggled to go last night (like I was pushing a baby out and TMI I stretched so much I bled from my bum)

Am also on insulin now so really not feeling the love

squishy i took it orally for a good few weeks its better via injection but i still found it really helpful, the best thing you can do is not take it while eating something really plain and be strict with the times of day when you take it because i always found if i took it at 1pm one day and 2pm the next there was trouble! At the start for me i'd eat something while taking it and have the worst worst nausea for an hour or two after but not be sick, i had to go lie down and curl up in a ball but the food stayed put and eventually it became less horrible, i was still sick while taking it but it did definatly help reduce the amount of times! it does make you really constipated, try mixing dulphalac into a drink everyday, its a stool softener not laxative so does the trick and is really gentle on your stomach it can even be used on newborns. I still find it hard to go though and haemorrhoids arrived last week

im now 37 weeks and so sick of being in hospital i just want him to be born so i can leave and go home and forget this ever happened!!!

[mummySS]

yay that's how it starts! One day and then it'll be two next time... hopefully you're on the road to recovery!

The pain has been bad for me too, to the point where i've been screaming out. I can't even write what I had to do to get the last one out, it's too gross to mention!

 

[shocker]

Awww girls i totally know, theres nothing worse than zofran constipation, i had to take 6 laxatives at one point a few weeks ago as it was so bad porridge helps a lot aswell! On the plus side I have some good news! Im being induced on sunday and little man should be here by monday it'll finally be over, i'm so excited!!!

Hi girls,

have any of you had acupuncture for HG? if so did it help at all?

Any news on Shocker?

 

[shocker]

Here he is, arrived this morning by emergency section at 7lbs 2oz and birth story is in my journal! still feeling sick and nauseous but probably as a result of the general anesthetic! hes in the nicu but hoping to get a cuddle soon!

 

[Micha2]

Oh congratulations shocker!!! Hope u feel all better very soon and get that much awaited cuddle!
Squishy - yes i tried acupuncture. For me it didnt work & it was winter so just going out in the cold to get it done would set me off big time. But it does work for some people so worth a try! Good luck!

Any news on Shocker?

Hi, yes I did in my last pregnancy and it did absolutely nothing for me. Had a few sessions a week about 12 overall and I found no improvement from it. In fact I found it really difficult lying there with the needles stuck in me and a lot of the time I had to shout on them to come and take them out as I was going to be sick. It may work for others but this was just my experience x

 

[missy1]

Congratulations Shocker! He is absolutely gorgeous! I hope he is doing ok and I'm sure you'll start feeling better soon, bet you can't wait to feel normal again xxxx

 

[Squishy1982]

Conratulations Shocker, he is gorgeous, hope you get your cuddles soon and that you feel better xx

Thanks for the experiences girls, I would say that I am willing to try anything but not sure I have the money to waste on something that most likely will not work. Everyone I know who has tried it said that they noticed only a slight improvement but were still sick and nauseous etc

 

[CarliCareBear]

he's beautiful shocker, I wish you both the best!

 

[mummySS]

Huge congrats Shocker! I read your birth story, wow what an ordeal, and i'm sorry you have been throwing up until the very end, and I really hope by the time you read this the sickness is long forgotten and your little man is out of nicu! Does he have a name yet?

Squishy i hadn't tried acupuncture - i may have tried if i could actually get out of the house! lol

I have a bit of residual aversions and am a bit cautious of what i eat but i think thats more psychological than physical, Noah Ezra is still in the incubator but going mad for booby milk last night so hopefully wont be in there much longer!

 

[mummySS]

Aah lovely name! glad hes doing ok xxx
