Are you worried about the effects of the meds? Pregnancy Sickness Support (UK) and Her Foundation (USA) both have helplines and can advise on meds. Generally with HG you and baby are lower risk on meds than without, as dehydration and malnutrition are a bigger issue.

@Eva tbh I’m worried something is wrong because I have milder symptoms I do have severe anxiety because of a previous misscariage at 8 weeks my husband is reassuring me saying it’s just the medication working but my mind is playing tricks

Sometimes I would randomly have an amazing day or three, and then the symptoms would come back with a vengeance. Some days you have just the right level of hydration or the right timing of meds for them to work wonders. So much easier said than done, but try not to worry until there’s something to worry about, as what you’ve said above was completely normal in my experience. Try to enjoy the good days and remember—pregnancy isn’t ‘supposed to’ make you constantly sick and nauseous, so don’t panic because it’s not doing that. Good luck! 🩷

I'm feeling exactly the same. Grateful to be not feeling sick and in bed 24/7 but it's triggered my anxiety wondering if I've had a missed miscarriage 😬 but then I tell myself the rational that I'm on medication round the clock so that's probably the only reason I feel ok. Was even tempted to stop taking it so I'd feel sick and prove to myself the baby is ok but that's pointless. I'm also 9 weeks and this can also be a point where the hormones that cause the sickness have peaked and so symptoms can get better anyway. Here if you want to message even if you feel like it's silly x

Ah, I see. Pregnancy after a miscarriage is definitely harder. I worried a lot more too. I think the best thing you can do is hold on to hope and try to enjoy the better days. There’s a great book called ‘Pregnancy after loss’ that’s exactly about all of that anxiety. It helped me a lot.
