My daughter is 8 1/2 weeks pregnant but can't keep nothing down...She is on 3 different nausea pills and plus went to hospital and got fluids because she was dehydrated ..What do you suggest ????? We have tried everything I can possibly think of..
Hi, I think you should do a thyroid profile. Sometimes deranged thyroid profile can lead to excess vomiting. If it is normal, she is having hypermedia gravidarrum. It will resolve by 3 months. She will be on medicines like doxylamine, pyridoxine. She can take some anti-emetic like ondansteron. If it is excessive, injection will be needed. Tell her to take fluids in little amount at frequent intervals. Hope it helps.

Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. If she can not digest anything&is dehydrated.. take her to ER... she needs iv fluids to make her blood pressure nprmal. Zfollowed by injectable medicine to control vomitting.&also Iv multuvitamines to maintain her health status. This should allow her intake of fluid diet ( water,ORs powder in water..juices... non spicy soups &then bland food (boiled rice.. bread with milk.along with anti vomitting pills & antacids as per doctor's advise.... gradually start normal diet. Vomitting pills should be continued till she completes 12 weeks of pregnancy. Thanks
