Where are you from, do you have a good Dr?
I'm from Redwood City, CA. I do really like my Doctor.
What meds are you currently on, what has been tried in the past, and what doses are you on. Are they working - are you still vomiting, how nauseas are you?
I'm on Zofran 8 mg. orally twice/day. I'm also trying a variety of homeopathic remedies. I have a PICC line which allows me to get IV fluids every other day. I don't know if anything is working. Last night, I dry heaved again, throwing up only stomach bile. The bile thing is getting more frequent lately. The nausea is unbearable, 24/7. Makes it difficult to eat/drink anything. Can't even think about food, much less step foot in the kitchen.
How far along are you? When are you due?
I'm only 10 weeks along, due 3/15/05
What are you able to tolerate as far as liquids and solids go?
NOTHING
Do you have supportive help around you?
Not in the way of family. Our parent co-op preschool has really stepped up to try to help us as they can - cooking meals for my hubby & kids or sitting for my 2 kids while I go in for hydration.
Do you have a past termination or miscarriage - those emotions do come into play in the first trimester.
I miscarried prior to my first child, at 2 weeks gestation; we didn't even know we were pregnant until we were at the E/R.
Do you have any other children you are caring for or worrying about?
I have 2 children: Aubrey is 4.5 and Alec is 2.5
Are you trying to work?
no- I'm a SAHM; but work would be impossible, as I can't get off the couch/bed.
