Been Signed off work :/

[ChloeNat]

Had to go to doctors this morning as Morning Sickness has hit an all time high. Can't stop vomitting and feel absolutely awful all day every day. Attempted going back into work yesterday after 2 weeks off and got a migraine by lunch time and was running to the bathroom to be sick every few mins, definitely feel better when I'm at home.

Doctor didn't want to give me anything for the sickness as he said he doesn't like to as theres some research its harmful to baby? So he gave me some stuff to drink every day to keep me from being dehydrated and took my bloods to do every test under the sun as 3 vials were taken, went really woosy.

Anyway, he has signed me off work for a month as he said I'm not fit to work and put the condition Hyperemesis gravidarum as a reason on the sick note. Now I knew I was sick but I didn't think it was that bad.

Get my bloods back on Monday so will see whats up. If it gets worse I have to go back and then get something for it. If still bad after that and can't keep anything down may be a drip .

I'm just all propped up on the sofa as he said laying down flat doesn't help and have nothing to do. I'm going to be so bored! Hopefully work don't get too annoyed - I'm only a placement student and they've been very nice about the whole thing up to now.

I had ginger tablets which worked at first now they just make me feel worse and travel bands don't help. Eating dry crackers makes me gag and even thinking about cooking anything for dinner involves a run to the bathroom. Doesn't help I have a cat moaning at me every five minutes to either be fed or to lay on my belly

Roll on end of first trimester!!

My heart really does go out to u hun! The only thing I can suggest is to keep ur fluids up. Keep sipping water, otherwise ull get dehydrated, and that only makes the sickness worse! It was not keeping my fluids up that landed me in hospital on a drip.

None of the remedies worked for me either, crackers, ginger, sickness bands - they were all a joke! It was truly awful! But once I came out of hospital after having my fluids built up, I felt loads better, and even though I was still being sick, it wasn't as much.

So, to reiterate, drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest xx

Thank you, Doctor gave me some rice packet stuff I have to drink to keep my fluids up, water just makes me really really sick I'm hoping it eases off very soon, maybe the packets will do me some good. xx

So sorry you've been having such an awful time honey Just wondering if you might think about trying acupuncture? I've been having some last Friday and yesterday with my GP and I don't know if it's coincidence, but I've definitely noticed an improvement and today I felt the best I've felt in ages.... Might be worth a try if you can find some... xxx

Big hug hon, I was off for 5 weeks due to pregnancy symptoms (weeks 6 - 11), went back last week and then been off again this week vomiting again. Its very frustrating when nothing seems to work so the best advice I can give is drink as much as you can, eat whatever you get a taste for and be kind to yourself. Craft hobbies, catching up on TV series, reading a few books and coming on here ALOT is what got me through.
Hope you feel better soon!XX
