This sounds stupid but ...

[Brenda in Canada]

part of me wishes I was worse.

I am taking Diclectin and from past pg I know it must be doing something. The nausea is getting worse every day, but I'm not vomiting much - not yet anyway. The constant nausea is driving me crazy but I know if I'm not losing a lot of weight then no one will care. I'm thinking of asking to move up on the treatment scale - maybe more Diclectin or maybe a suppository or something? But I figure since I'm not vomiting a lot then they'll say no. I have a midwife appt. on Monday. If it keeps heading down hill I may call before then to see what I can do. I have three kids at home with me and I feel so desperate.

Anyone else in this boat?

Lie. I know it sounds horrible, but you won't be the first to have done it to get the care you need.

I am on Dicletctin too. What is your dose? They started me at 2 little pills a day, I a now at 2 ,4 times a day. They also added maxeran and zantac, that was when things started getting better. I found that even when I wasn't throwing up I still couldn't eat or drink and it made everything worse on the diclectin alone. I agree with Mama2B, if you know whats coming and its worse, I 'd lie and say I was vomitting., if you didn't think they would give it otherwise.

Are you able to eat or drink much?

You could also take Gravol supposotories which are over the counter. However, they will make you sleepy which I am not sure that you want ,with 3 children to take care of.

The key to HG is always to be proactive. If you are feeling worse, increase your dosage or add another medication before you spiral out of control. Motherisk, located at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto has a nausea and vomitting helpline. They are wonderful and can direct you better. www.motherisk.org 1-800-436-8477 I am taking 6 diclectin a day, but bear in mind that your body will take a few days to adjust to a new dose or a new medication.

Hi Andy,

Yes, I am 35 weeks pregnant and due on November 2nd! This has been the absolute best preganancy out of the four, but I have to tell you I am glad this will be my last pregnancy. Hope everything is going well for you. My son is home from school a lot these days because of holidays so I don't have too much time, but I try to post whenever I see diclectin pop up somewhere.

Congratulations! Ok, way late, lol. I'm glad to know it's gone so well for you. Sigh, wish I knew when my next child was coming.

Enjoy that last month, nevermind, what am I saying? Baby, come out soon!

Huge hugs, Andy
