    I am so sick all the time
    So far the only thing that has stayed down today was a handful of saltines with peanut butter on them, and a bit of root beer.
    I sleep most of the day away to avoid being sick
    I am miserable.
    I am so thirsty, but a sip of anything makes me gag.
    This really needs to let up. I can barely function. This isn't good for me or the babies.
    I know I have to be dehydrated. Even water seems to come back up.
    I can't do this much longer... my husband has been doing everything around the house, and he has to work.
    I am getting so frustrated. In all my pregnancies I have never ever felt even close to this horrible

    You have hyperemesis, IMO. You probably need a prescription suppository and maybe even a bag or two of IV fluids. Call your OB and pay attention to how much you are peeing. If you aren't peeing enough then you need to go to the ER. I was so sick with my twins I just laid in bed and cried. I truly could not function. I ended up spending 24 hours in the hospital but once I got hydrated, it helped. Keep us posted and take care. I am sorry you feel so crappy!

    I agree with the pp's you need to either go see your ob or go to the er. To get checked out and maybe get fluids in you. With my son I ended up in the hospital for dehydration. I could keep anything down (I was also very sick with my twin pregnancy). I went in to see my ob and the did a urine test and from their office they sent me to the hospital to get an iv so I could get some fluids in me. They also game me some zophran (I think that was what it was called but can't remember), it was so I could keep things down when I ate. It was orignally made for cancer patients when they were getting their treatments done since you get sick from the chemo. It helped me out so much I could eat again and I had more energy to do more. I hope you start feeling better soon.

    go see your dr!! You may need IV fluids. I was on zofran and it worked wonders. Talk to you dr. about a prescription.

    Hang in there, I remember just how you feel. TERRIBLE!

    Yes, please call your OB! I was very sick my first trimester and the rule was that if I went 12 hours without being able to keep down anything (including fluids) to call and/or go to the ER for IV fluids. You don't want to get truly dehydrated. Morning sickness is one thing and your babies will be fine even with all the puking (trust me :) ) but you need to be able to function.

    Hope you feel better soon!
