My first doctor's appointment is Monday, so I will definitely talk to her about my concerns, but I was wondering if you ladies could share some personal experiences with severe morning sickness vs HG.
I am nauseous all day. If I do not eat something small every hour I throw up or dry heave. I cannot keep down water. My doctor prescribed me Zofran (I know, I know... I'm keeping up with the lawsuits, also), but it didn't really work. The first day was okay, the second day I threw up, and the third day taking it the nauseated feeling and vomiting was back all day. I'm trying to be very proactive about dehydration (I'm having a small amount of gatorade every 15 minutes and I'll try and have a sip of water now and then throughout the day). If I drink large gulps, I end up throwing up the liquid and whatever food I last had. Fortunately, I have been able to keep my prenatals down (I take them after eating a small amount.. but not drinking anything), so I'm not too terribly concerned about nutrients. The biggest concern of mine is not being able to keep down water. I'm not dehydrated to the point of needing an IV (because of the gatorade), but I'm not using the bathroom as often as I normally do, and my urine is dark.
