At what point is the ER a good option?
I’m 9 weeks + 1 day pregnant, and I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.
Last night I couldn’t keep anything down. I’d take one bite of food and immediately start throwing up over and over. This morning I can barely move. The only thing I’ve managed to stomach is a couple bites of cucumber, but it’s not helping.
I haven’t seen my OB since July, and I won’t see her again for another two weeks. At my last appointment, she prescribed Zofran and told me to keep an eye on my weight. Since then, I’ve lost about 5 pounds, and the Zofran isn’t helping at all.
I’m so dizzy, weak, and sick. Has anyone else gone through this? What helped you? At what point did you call your OB or go to the ER? I just feel so lost right now.

Call your OB first. Tell them of the weight loss, if they can’t do anything go to the ER. You may need IV fluids to stop dehydration. They may be able to give you something a bit more.
You should at the very least let your OB know you’re on the way to the ER. They may be able move your appointment up for when you get released!
