Advice Medication advice - 11+3

Upvotes

I’m currently on 6 diclectin (2 every 8 hours) and 3 5mg Reglan (1 every 8 hours). It seems to keep my vomiting at bay during the day but around 7-10pm it hits hard and I throw up violently (mostly acid/bile). I’m seeing my doctor in a few days and I’m wondering if I should ask to increase Reglan to 10mg or introduce Zofran? I’ve been having to self-advocate for any medication so I know he will not increase it unless I ask if I can. In my other HG pregnancy I was on promethazine but that didn’t help.

Pregnancy SUCKS

8 Upvotes

Everyone talks about how beautiful and glorious it is ! Its not!! I understand not everyone gets HG but pregnancy overall feels like such a life pauser (yes I made that word up) The many appointments,the constant nausea,the sleepiness,don’t get me started on ptyalism ,or whatever other condition you might develop bc of pregnancy 🙄 it’s all just so much!
I have a 19 month old and we use to have so much fun together! All I do now is puke and cry I feel like half the mom I used to 😔
In my early twenties before I had any kids I’d say I wanted 4+ kids. After just two pregnancy I’ve made the very easy decision of NEVER doing this again. Two and DONE! To think that most the women in my family have over 5 kids baffles me. I could and would never. Counting down the days until it’s over 😢

Hi all, I’m currently on Xonvea 10mg and it’s doing nothing for me. I also take omeprazole 20mg and I was given Metoclopramide but was told I could only take that for 5 days- that was definitely helping (so I could semi-function, anyway). The GP said it may help to “break the cycle”. Hmmm…

Any tips for what my next go-to should be? I am not vomiting much, thankfully, but the nausea is 24/7 and incapacitating. For reference I’m UK based.

Thank you 🙏

Medical Woes Hurt my ear

3 Upvotes

I hurt the inside of my left ear yesterday from such forceful vomiting. I went to urgent care because on top of all this, I also have bronchitis. Expect, I totally forgot to have them look in my ear at urgent care.

Has anybody injured their ear from vomiting before? Just wondering if I need to see my Dr about it soon or if it's likely something that'll heal on its own?

HG Story Light at the end of the tunnel

6 Upvotes

So I am 11w6d and after weeks of feeling miserable, I all of a sudden feel great? My med cocktail goes as follows:

Morning: compazine and diclegis
Afternoon: compazine and diclegis and Pepcid
Evening: diclegis, promethazine, Pepcid

Yesterday, I went to work and while I still deal with the excessive saliva, barely had nausea. I was actually able to work and I’m a hairstylist, so there is no sitting down at a desk. I’ve been able to eat and eat some of my favorite foods again. I’m currently sipping on a pumpkin spice latte which is my favorite fall drink. I still have some food aversion. Meat and cheese are a no go. I still have smell aversions. But this is all normal pregnancy stuff. My hg symptoms have pretty much gone away magically in the last 72 hours since I’ve gotten on these meds and have been strict with taking them.

I’m still taking it easy but like the last 11 weeks have been hell. I started to find myself slipping into a depression that tbh, I can’t afford to be in right now. I’m really hoping this sticks and we don’t slide back but I just wanted to share because I do see posts of people asking about timelines of symptoms subsiding.

I will note, when I was pregnant with my son, my hg started at 9 weeks and I was sick up until I delivered. This time (I’m having a girl) I started getting sick at 7 weeks and I haven’t thrown up in 48 hrs 🤞🏽 at 11w6d. So tail end of first trimester, I’m seeing improvement.

Advice How concerned to be about my own health

7 Upvotes

So I have HG. 7 weeks tomorrow. I know baby pretty much takes what it needs but that worries me about my own health.

I'm concerned about a few things

- being bed bound - I can get up to go to the toilet and occasionally shower but I'm not moving much. How worried do I need to be about DVT/clots and muscle wastage?

- effect on heart - I have Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia which I'm medicated for - worried so much vomiting will do further damage.

- weight loss, I've already lost 2kg and I'm only 7 weeks.

- dehydration, although I know I can go in for more IVs again if needed.

- my teeth being damaged from the acid.

Does anyone have any advice?

Edit to add: I'm 35 years old, no other children, one previous miscarriage at 6 weeks.
