  I'm so sorry you're going through this. It sounds incredibly taxing and distressing. I hope at your appointment today the OB can help find a better solution to improving how you're feeling quickly. Hugs.

  I'm so sorry you're going through this. I know hospitals are never fun, but in this case it might be a good thing to stabilize your body and get you the fluids and nutrition you desperately need. Fingers crossed that you feel better soon and that doctors can figure out a quick and effective treatment for you.

  I don't know how I got through it with #1. It was awful. I was hospitalized for 4 days. Even with meds and IV I was puking all the time. I lost 20 pounds first trimester. Only saving grace was I had no other kids to chase after and I wasn't working at the time. I spent most days I spent lying on couch. There were times when I thought I was dying it was that bad.
  
  Mine got a little better but continued til the day i delivered at 39+3. All this to say I truly feel your pain. You can pm me if you need someone to talk to who's been through this.

  I went through the same thing so trust me, there is absolutely no shame in how you feel. I was hospitalized twice my first trimester because I was throwing up round the clock every few minutes for all three months. I would cry, be angry at everyone, and absolutely hated being pregnant just because of how miserable it was. Maybe talk to your Doctor about taking Zofran, or if you feel uncomfortable with that one because of the risk, try Diclegis? I know Diclegis helped me a ton as well as making sure that, even though I'd throw it up, I had something in my stomach to avoid dry-heaving. It absolutely sucks and I sincerely hope you're able to find a way to get past it.

  I just wanted to say I'm so sorry you're going through this. I threw up round the clock from weeks 5-12 until I tried Unisom and B6 and, thankfully, it works for me. It is miserable and so hard for people to understand unless they've been through it! I hope things get better at some point in your pregnancy!

  Yup, that was me with my first pregnancy. Sadly I didn't feel better until I was 7 months pregnant with my DD. Luckily I had no other children but I was working full time. Sometimes I would just sit in the bathroom stall at work and cry. I have no advise bc nothing I ate stayed down either. I did gain weight my 3rd trimester though and my DD was born healthy at 7 pounds 13 ounces!
  However, this pregnancy (my 2nd) has been a complete walk in the park! My MS was completely gone by 13 weeks.
  Please know other women have gone through what you have and had completely healthy babies. I know it sucks, I would talk to your ob about how you feel and know this is only temporary!!!!

  I'm so sorry you are dealing with this too! You are not alone! I'm 15 weeks and down 15 lbs too. I had 3 days where for some unknown reason I thought it had left me and I gained 2 lbs. Then the sickness hit full force again and I lost 5 lbs. I'm taking Zofran, Reglan, Phenegren, and Zantac. At night I also have Unisom and B+6.... It helped a little at first but then it just faded at working. They told me the next step was to see an OB and be listed as high risk (I see a midwife now) and be put on at home IV's and the Zofran pump. My cousin is a couple weeks further than me also dealing with HG and she has the in home IV's and pump. I also got a cold my son brought home... So now I'm trying to fight this too.
  
  It really does cause a severe depression to creep up on you. Make sure you are talking to your doctors. It's important for your saftey and the baby's! You can really have lasting effects if you get really bad. I know IV's, hospital visits, and any more pills feels like the worst thing ever.... But truly they do help you. I always feel better after my trip to the emergency room for an IV. And I HATE needles!!
  
  I'm so sorry you are dealing with this! I know it's so hard. I cry to my husband every night and tell him I don't think I can ever go through this again.... It's scary and traumatic because you don't know if it will end soon or last the whole time...
  
  I'll be thinking of you, and just know you're not alone!

  Ugh, I'm so sorry. I know it's awful, but you will get through it, and at least you're doing the right thing for yourself and your baby by making sure you're getting good prenatal care.

  I am so so sorry. I do not have HG but one of my best friends had it throughout both pregnancies to the point she had a constant IV with Zofran drip and fluids just walking around. It must also be so hard that no one understands what you are going through. She found a lot of support from Facebook groups in which she is still active. Good luck.

  I too have HG and it's horrible, so yes I feel your pain. I had to specifically ask for Zofran and then when I told them it didn't work they gave me Dicglecis (sp?). When that didn't work, i got desperate so I tried both Zofran and Dicglesis together and it works 95% of the time. Now I only throw up a few times a week, if I go too long without eating or if I eat something that is processed or too salty. I still feel queezy most times though. My mom is confused and a lot of people I talk to because it should have ended by now, but is still here. The  only encouragement my friends can give is that it will not be forever and once the baby comes, it will all have been worth it.
