Currently writing this from my hospital bed, today will be my 3rd night here after being in and out of the ER all week.

I didn't get any morning sickness with my last pregnancy until the end if the third trimester. My other pregnancies i never got super sick either (but only carried 1 to term) So I was especially unprepared for this.

This time is HELL. I'm currently 10w3d. I thought I was doing alright managing at home but a week ago something changed and now meds aren't doing it for me, this nausea is getting so unbearable how do you guys cope??

Current regimen: I have a port and get 8mg IV zofran and 50mg IV benadryl, both can be given up to 4 times a day (every 6 hrs) if needed. Thankfully I can also use it to give myself normal fluids at home, but that isn't cutting it anymore.

Last week I started taking unisom and b6 together, 3 times a day. I was given phenergan which helped a bit but now i can't keep the pills down even, so they switched the phenergan to a suppository which seems to be doing a little something at least.

I am allergic to comparing, Reglan and Haldol so those are all out. They gave me orally dissolving zyprexa in the er but it just made me sleepy.

They gave me a dose of steroids in the ER Friday and I think it may have helped a little? Didn't last long though.

I have also been getting IV pepcid while I am here. But no matter what I try, it seems I only get relief for an hour or 2 MAYBE 3 if I'm lucky, before the whole cycle starts again.

I have not been able to keep any food or liquids down since Sunday a week ago. I can sometimes stomach some ice chips here and there but even then it will come back up like an hour later. I'm so empty right now. I love this baby so much but I am terrified it's gonna get worse or something will happen to her because I can't take in enough.

Are there any other medications/treatments that people have tried here that I didn't mention? I would literally do a fancy jig in the street if It meant I got a little relief from this nausea

Hey everyone I am currently 9w6d pregnant. I have had multiple losses in the past so every little thing gets me anxious. I've been super nauseous this time around and unable to keep even water down so I ended up at the ER both today and yesterday. They checked HCG levels and yesterday I was at 132,005. Today it was 126,946.

I've read that it can be normal at this stage with the placenta taking over but I'm just so worried. They did do a belly ultrasound and said that baby was measuring right on track CRL was 9w6d and heartrate 161. That was reassuring but then i saw the HCG results and I've been spiraling.

I just got my genetic testing back yesterday too and everything looked normal, found out its a girl! Now I'm terrified things are headed in the wrong direction.

Anyone have any experience with dropping HCG at this stage? Good and bad experiences are welcome I just would like to hear from others who have been in a similar situation
