I feel like death warmed over...-Update

I have NEVER been so sick in my entire life. This pregnancy is kicking my @$$. I cannot keep anything down. My OB gave me zofran, that didn't help, I couldn't eat. Then they gave me phengren which helped for a short 2 day window and then I couldn't keep that in. Last night was horrible, I couldn't eat or sleep. I have not eaten anything in almost 24 hours. I had a pedialyte pop last night and that's all I could keep down. I can't wait for my OB's office to open b/c I will be 1st in line. Thank goodness for DH and the fact that he has been able to help me so much the past few days. Anyone ever experience anything like this??? I feel like I am headed for IV fluids today and frankly that would be a welcome relief at this point. I don't know how I will make it another 4+ weeks like this....Ok I had to get that out.

ETA: I called my Dr this morning b/c I have not been able to keep anything down for 2 days and last night was just horrible. I didn't want to go into the weekend with no relief. My choices were to go to the hospital or to have a nurse come out and set up an IV and meds here. I opted for the home option. They are also going to put me on a continuous flow of zofran through a pump for the next 2 weeks. I am a little freaked out that they think it's this bad but I was down 6 lbs from my 11/2 appointment. Thanks for all your responses. I can't believe how lousy I feel. This better pass soon.

IV fluids will probably help you feel so much better but of course nobody likes to go that route. Hopefully they can help you resolve your nausea. When I was pregnant with P my nausea was SO much worse so maybe you have a girl in there.

Hang in there.

I had this with my twin pregnancy. Couldnt keep a thing down! Had to go to the ER to get fluids twice. Felt sooo much better after getting those fluids though. dehydration can make you feel SO sick. I hope you feel better!

Sounds like iv fluids are in order. You will feel so much better. Hope this passes soon!

susangilchrist · November 2011

Sounds like a girl in there

Hope the OB can help you feel better!!

um yes, I've felt that way with both riley and kellen. I think my record was I threw up 17 times in one day when pregnant with kellen. I did end up going to the hospital for IV fluids with both those pregnancies twice each. I have absolutely no advice but I'm really really sorry! I know how badly that sucks and to have children to take care of on top of it. Hang in there lady! Also, try sea bands and ginger chewing gum, they gave me moderate relief with Kellen.

See, this confirms my theory... It's not a boy/girl thing. Pregnancies just suck more each consecutive time.

You're sure there's just one in there, Lauren?

Yes, only one that was confirmed today.....This kid if going to get it when s/he comes out....:-) I hope this is not a sign of the personality to come.

I spent most of my last pregnancy telling Nico that Evie was officially my favorite because Liam was such a hard pregnancy in the beginning. Like if he kept it up, there would be no contest. But he's been an easier baby. Now that he's a toddler he's giving her a run for the money.

seansgirl2006 · November 2011

No, because they're giving you a hard time that means this will be the best baby ever.

My friend had the zofran pump too. I hope it gives you some relief. That is nice that you were given the option to stay home instead of hospital.

dleigh2020 · November 2011

You poor thing! I really hope the IV and meds help. Take it easy and try to get some rest. I REALLY hope you feel better soon.

lindzed · November 2011

I am sorry. My 2nd pregnancy was much harder, but my 2nd baby is easier so maybe it will balance in the end. Glad your doctor is getting you some help.

MrsKLB · November 2011

Oh my! This sounds horrible! I'm so glad they gave you the I'VE and zofran pump. I hope you are already getting some relief. Hang in there!

slwprincess · November 2011

With that much zofran, make sure you take some colace!!! Yikes. Feel better soon :-(

californiafrog7905 · November 2011

YIKES Lauren! So, so sorry it's gotten that bad for you; what we go through for our kids, eh? I hope you're already feeling better from the meds and fluids and that Chris helps out 24/7 this weekend! Hang in there

AugustaBride04 · November 2011

You poor thing! Hope you get some relief soon! My 2nd pregnancy was way harder than my first too.

decaturbride · November 2011

I'm sorry its gotten so bad for you, but I hope you are getting relief by now with the IV and pump. I'm not as bad off as you , but pretty miserable. The Zofran isn't having as much effect now. I tried to call today and try some phenergen for nightitme, but the office was already closed. Today has been awful, I was sick all day at work and kept having to go to the lav on the plane. So gross! I didn't know how good I had it with Owen. I am just willing the next 4-5 weeks to please go fast and please let the MS go away after that.

Oh you poor thing that sucks!! I have phengren here if you need some relief over the weekend and want to give it a try. I am still waiting for the meds. I am getting everything set up today. Naturally my insurance company had to argue with my dr and waste a day.

amanda_holbird@hotmail.com · November 2011

You poor thing! I hope you get some relief very soon. Btw, my second pregnancy was much worse than my first. I was pretty much sick the entire 9 months, but nothing like you have been experiencing. Fortunately, no IV fluids for me, but nausea along with dry heaving on a daily basis. Like Heather, sea bands were a Godsend. Good luck!!

wuhhoo · November 2011

Hope you feel better soon!

Deannabee78 · November 2011

So sorry!! That sounds terrible! Hope the zofran pump gives you some relief. M/S is kicking my butt too....the zofran doesn't seem to help my nausea though it does help keep me from throwing up. Have you tried the b6 + unisom? I've been trying to do that at night and it seems to help. I will be thinking about you praying you feel better soon!!
