    Call your doctor's office! Though it's the weekend they will put you to the on call doctor - they will tell you what to do.  You may need IV if it's that bad.  This is a MD question, not one for 8nternets strangers.

    Ask you doctor to see if you are suffering from hyperemisis gravidarum. Don’t hesitate to go to the ER if you have not been able to keep down fluids.

    Not being able to keep liquids down is NOT normal. I agree with harpseal135, find someone who has treated women with HG, it is serious and can be devastating to you and your baby’s health if not on correct treatment. This is my 3rd HG pregnancy, ginger ale and saltine crackers dont do shit, get an OB who can help you. 
    Also if you go to the ER, make sure they look at your potassium, it’s a common issue with women who have constant vomiting.

    Thank you all for the adviceim going to see if i can changemidwives or find a doctor. My father in law is a nurse practitioner and it took my husband to call someone to help me because i had severe blood sugar crash due to no eating for 3 to 4 days excwpt two meals. I finally am having relief. Thank you so much everyone! I know i shouldn't be asking unless its a proffesional but i got desperate. Ive been hungry and thirsty and now have meds that gave me some relief. Thank you so much i appreciate all of you
