Merry Christmas.

I was administered 4 destro saline drips and a couple of injections over two days due to dehydration as a result of intense vomiting without eating. My husband insisted on this because he read that I was suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum. It is not a common occurrence in pregnant women so please do well to ensure your wife exhibits symptoms that points to HG before seeking medication. Here is a detailed information about it. You can also refer to this article on HG.

Need I remind you that the injections and drip will wear off after 1 or 2 days so what this means is that you need something that will help suppress vomiting as you can't be on drip and injection always. Before taking me to hospital, my husband searched a lot on nairaland for Hyperemesis Gravidarum and got instances of pregnant women who in the past had this situation and the medications they used. The one which interested him was where a lady said she used Doxylamine Succinate and Vitamin B6 which worked well for her. He decided to get that drug from the pharmacy but it looked like it is scarce in Nigeria. He was offered Meclozine in one of his pharmacy tour which surprisingly works well for me. It is a drug that helps with nausea and vomiting.

Please note that body system differs so there is no 100% guarantee that the drug will work for everyone but you can try. From further research, Meclozine is safe for use during pregnancy. I will advise you check with your wife's doctor or a medical practitioner about the medications she takes and what led her to take them so as to avoid complications with her pregnancy.

As against the pharmacist prescription of twice daily, I use it only once a day after my early morning vomiting and it works well for me throughout the day. I take pap before using the medicine. Vomiting after usage is minimal plus I can now eat a little unlike before, which to me is a huge improvement. If the information matters, I'm approaching my 11th week.

PS: I had to write this in detail for proper documentation. My husband found much information on nairaland while trying to help me. I'm hoping this will help someone in the future as well.

Thank You So Much my sister.

She was admitted twice, it's one of her Doctors she has worked with that handle her, at a point I was just confused, she was begging that we shouldn't allow her to die like this, I can't type all we went through I think it's same thing you both experience. But thank she is also better now and doing fine.

Merry Christmas, a prosperous new year and smooth months ahead.

Where is the cake

It's worse than the time I posted it. The vomiting is even more intense. I'm tired.

I understand how you are feeling, as just praying to God for strength to overcome this stage for you guys. My Woman is also going through this and is scaring.

Anyone with a better way to manage this should speak up please.

I went through theasme thing and had to be hospitalized once a week. I can't even start telling you how bad it was for me. I was given anti-sickness drug that i used before meal. Also, try taking oat-no sugar-make it runny, add little powdered milk. It really helped me. and irish potato-boiled till very very soft. Don't take fruit, beans or juice, makes it worst. I pray it helps.

Jesus Christ.... Hospitalized once a week for how many months, God Please 🙏

I've come across this dish (the white stuff) a few times, but I don't know what it's called or what it's made from.
What I do know is that it is a dish from the Southwest region of Nigeria.

Good afternoon expectant mummies and every other person in the house. I've been a guest reader for the past few days but decided to sign up on this platform today.

I am 4 weeks pregnant and it has not been easy on me. I am unable to eat anything even though I'm always hungry. Even the little I force myself to eat, I vomit it few minutes after.

My temperature is usually high and I experience body pain. I feel tired easily. I can't even take tea as well without vomiting it. Fruits are also the same.

The only medications I am using is Ferobin Plus and Vitamin C as I'm told I can't use medications anyhow. Please I need help on how to stop this vomiting as it is making me very weak. Thank you.

PS: This is my first pregnancy.

How were you able to overcome this please

As soon as I saw the topic, I know it's Naptu that can create such.

Egbon I greet you o

Wish I can type how I felt when I lost my Niece and Elder Brother.

And till now, I haven't gotten over the demise of my Niece because she died 8 days after giving birth to her first child, after spending more money on bringing her back to life, to seeing her moved to ICU. I just wished I can put words together, her death was so painful because we were just too close.

I wont judge you because I don’t judge people.

It is understandable that some people’s brain are wired to only assimilate Nollywood & Bollywood movies, and when such people watch classic Hollywood masterpieces, their brains would never comprehend a single thing.

For example, 2004 was the last time I watched any Nollywood movie (both English & Yoruba) because their plots & themes are so similar, watery & predictable.

For example, Nollywood movies would be playing Buga by Kizz Daniels or Davido’s Away not because those music go with the senseless story they are telling but because those songs are currently trending all over the Country.

Bollywood movies on the other hand would produce a movie with a run time of 3hours and spend half of that time to be singing & dancing to incomprehensible songs.

While I admit that I still have “3 idiots” and “RRR” in my archive, I can never add any Nollywood movie into my library even if it is produced & directed by Steven Spielberg or James Cameron - because 97% of their movies are ALWAYS centered on Cultism, Prostitution, Armed Robbery, Money Ritual & Clubbing.

Although, there have been countless instances where some highly overhyped movies turn out to be complete disappointments but calling every commenter on this thread a liar is insulting.

One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Drop your ratings on movies in this thread and move on.

BTW, Oppenheimer is a masterpiece. The film sweet die!

The level the movie was produced is very difficult for some person like the quy you quoted to comprehend, Oppenheimer is one movie with touch of all in an advance way.

The science, politics, betrayal, trust, love, just name it are what makes me fall in love with the movie.

Carot:
OPPENHEIMIER -1/10

Trash. Dont waste your data. They are all liars on this thread

My goodness, which of the Oppenheimer did you watched, well we all have our taste of movies anyway so I won't blame you much.

What of her friend that accompany her, the one that entered the suspect house first, the one that invited her inside.

Flamemignon1:
This is the dumbest thing I've heard all day but I expect nothing less from an ignorant bigot who already judges people before they know them, like pick up a book that's not a religious book that haven't been translated a billion times and learn about human sexuality but as usual the black man is scared of something he doesn't understand hence why y'all deserve the shithole you live in

What's this one saying

Drink Enough Water Daily
Take Folic Acid Daily
Avoid Mosquitoes
REST! REST!! REST!!!

Starboytwo:
