Ugh.

Hospital visit the other day after panicky emergency scare type thing re: pregnancy. All is fine, though; the little thing has a heartbeat and a tail, both of which are pretty cool.

Meanwhile, the morning sickness has reached whole new levels of misery, to the point where I can hardly eat anything without vomiting. So that's fun. I have another doctor's appointment on Monday, where they can either give me drugs or I'll chain myself to the door, and in the meantime I'm lying down trying to drink a glass of milk very, very slowly. FUN TIMES.

::hugs:: Please be sure you are taking your vitamins! As one friend's OB described it, the human baby is "the most efficient parasite the world ever created" - "those prenatal vitamins are not for the baby. they're to keep you alive - the baby will suck all your nutrients, so you need to supplement!" (Her hubby was out of town that week, so I took her to her appointment. This was the friend who had a miscarriage then had massive morning sickness when she got pregnant again...) According to this doctor, you can grind them up and sip them in water if that's the only way to get them in and keep them down.

Glad all is OK, relatively speaking. And let us know how the appt goes - I really hope you don't have to resort to chaining yourself to the furniture in order to get them to help you. You need fuel for this process! That should not be so hard for them to understand!

Be well. Get the drugs. Rest. Relax. It gets better. (and then worse, says the mama at 37 weeks in a heat wave.)

I asked on the POTS forum, as POTS causes bad nausea and it was worth picking their brains. Too much to copy in now, I'll tell you over the weekend, but two meds that were mentioned as being safe for use in pregnancy were Zofran and Phenergan. So that's a start for meds research. I've not been on Zofran, and since I'm on heart meds I won't be, but I've been on Phenergan, it's an antihistamine and possibly an OTC one.
