I very recently found out that I am
pregnant, I am in my 11th week, my
question is I have been violently ill the
last 2 weeks or so, I cannot hold anything
down, including water, I was hospitalized
for dehydration for a week and kept on iv.
They have given me lots of suggestions as
to what to do but none of them seem to
work. I was curious if anyone else had
this problem and if so what did you do to
fix it? Also is this harmful to my baby?
Thanks

It can be harmful to the baby since the
baby wont be receiving all of its
nutrients and food. I had mornig sickness
in my pregnancy but not to the point of
hospitalization. My doctor offered me a
prescription tho.. I cant quite remember
what its called but it seemed to work for
a few people. I hope u find something to
help

It could be harmful to your baby because
your baby isnt getting any nourishment.
Which means he/shemaynot be growing
properly. But I wouldnt worry to much.
As far as being sick goes, I dont know
what to tell you. Except that you need
to watch the medications your on, because
some medications can be very harmful to
your baby.

Have you tried vitamin b5? I had bad
morning sickness too and got two different
types of prescription medicine before I
tried b5, and b5 was the only thing that
worked! I took one 50 mg tablet once
daily. You can get them over the counter
anywhere.
You are preggy, in for dehydration and
they released you? Not! I think you need
to either check that story again or go see
another doc!

I was checked in for dehydration, they ran
tests and found out I was pregnant, I
stayed for a week on ivs and I was
released, I am not as bad, but I want to
see if there is anything else I can do to
prevent it. I am seeing another doc(my ob

Chanda...Its normal to be released for
dehydration after they rehydrate you.
They kept her on iv fluids for a few days
and i'm sure they ran tests to check
fluid/electrolyte balance. Am I right?
What suggestions did the doctor give you
that arent working? The main thing is to
try your best to eat and keep yourself
hydrated. If you have signs and symptoms
of dehydration again, then you need to get
to the er immediately so they can start
you on iv fluids. The doctor may be able
to give you something to help with the
nausea (an antiemetic like reglan or
phenergan), but you would need to ask,
because they sometimes arent safe during
pregnancy. I hope things get better soon!
Take care of yourself and let me know if
I can help anymore!
