spent all of yesterday in the emergency room

so... my morning sickness seemed to really peak a few days ago and i wasn't able to eat or drink much of anything. went to my ob, who took urine and sent me straight to the ER.

i needed 4 liters of fluid just to get to the point where i was peeing

more than anything, i am a little freaked out that i got so dehydrated so quickly.

the good news is - haven't vomited in the last 2 days and today i was able to drink 20oz, plus a liter of IV fluid (the ER doc was nice enough to leave my IV in so i could treat myself at home).

does anyone know - does m/s *really* come and go like that? could that have been the worst of it?

Mine has come and gone since week 6 and now I am at week 26.

I feel for you. Its no fun at all.

How long will you leave the IV in for?

I was there the other day , same thing..took 5 bags for me to pee.

We have to make sure we dont get to that point.

Right now I drink TONS of gatorade. If you can keep it down its great for staying hydrated. I cannot tolerate water at all. It comes back up.

I wish I had better advice, but I hope it passes for you.

but there are days when you feel completely fine... right?

what i'm REALLY worried about is the prospect of feeling sick ALL the time - because for the days leading up to the ER, i felt sick 24/7. it was such a relief to have a day of feeling halfway decent today.

i took the IV out today after giving myself a liter. i needed to shower, and felt a little unsafe with it in my hand and handling my dogs, etc. god forbid it got infected and i had to go back to the ER... how would i explain that it was "accidentally" left in my hand... i didn't want to get the doc in trouble...

i'm with you about water. it's the WORST drink for me right now. gatorade is a little sickening at times... but that is what i drank today and it stayed down.

Re: spent all of yesterday in the emergency room

thanks for all the smiles and hugs, everyone. KNOCK ON WOOD - but i am just dealing with a lot of nausea now, no vomiting. and i am drinking - not as much as i would like to be ideally, but definitely getting fluids down.

to everyone, you girls are the best!!!

Re: spent all of yesterday in the emergency room

I was violently sick from m/s and ended up in the ER also..I was admitted for 2 days because I was so dehydrated. They ended up putting a permanent IV line in my arm and I had a nurse come to my house weeky to change the line and this went on for about 2 months and I gave myself IV treatments 2 x's a day.

From the minute they started the IV in hospital I felt 100x's better and just got better from that point on...

I hope the same goes for you....

Feel better

ETA: I also was giving myself Zofran via IV..if your dont get better, I suggest you speak with your doctor about giving yourself IV treatments at home~
I was able to work with it..it isnt as bad as it sounds~
