Please have mercy and send me your tips

During my first pregnancy I had, what I thought at the time, to be the worst morning sickness ever. It occurred randomly at all hours, made me vomit at least twice a day and hurl at the mere thought of certain foods.

Now, I realize I was being the biggest baby ever because this time around I have hyperemesis gravidarum and it’s been absolute hell on earth.

I’ve tried (what feels like) everything;

• constantly eating small “meals”
• small sips of clear liquid
• bland as fuck food (saltines, broth and plain yogurt)
• no spicy, oily or greasy foods
• nothing too hot or too cold in temperature
• ginger
• vitamin b6
• unisom
• not laying down right after I eat
• eating some saltines before I even attempt to get out of bed
• no meds on an empty stomach

I’m losing it you guys and I’m actually miserable. It was so bad last night that after my 4th sleepless night in a row, I broke down and actually wondered if I could get through this and care for my 10 month old. Obviously I don’t have a choice & I’ll have to do what I have to do but I had “morning” sickness my entire first pregnancy and if that happens again this time and at this intensity? I just don’t know what I would do... I’m working full time during the day, have a 10 month old, a 7 year old step son and my boyfriend works graveyard. I NEED to figure out how to get this at least somewhat under control to continue having a functional life.

I can’t even keep water down most of the day and I haven’t been able to keep any food down for about 5 days now. The nausea is constant and most of the time even thinking about food makes me gag. It’s even worse when I try and eat. Who wants to eat when they’re nauseous?!

I know it sounds like I’m having a massive pity party and I pretty much am 😭😭 I know there are those of you who are dealing with so much worse but suffering is subjective and I’m hitting my breaking point.

If you have any tips, tricks, ideas or anything I could try to get this under control I would be so grateful. I’m willing to try anything at this point.

Thank you so much

Edit: I’m so sorry for disappearing, everyone’s comments saying to go to the ER made me anxious so I went right away and was admitted for severe dehydration. I’ve been getting fluids and “food” through an IV and I’m feeling much better. I promise I will reply to everyone today, I’ve just been sleeping ever since I got to my room 😂😂 thank you all so, so much for the reassurance that I wasn’t overreacting.
