I am 6 weeks pregnant and for a week I've been vomiting non-stop and dizzy. I called the nurse and she said take some tums and gravol. So I did that and made it worse, yesterday I was violently vomiting up acid and the only thing that would stay down was applesauce. I managed to go sleep but this morning I was still vomiting up acid so I called the nurse again. She said to go to the hospital because it could be a bug or dehydration. I told her I just need acid reflux medicine, my urine is clear, the problem is the extreme pain from the acid. She said go to the hospital. The Dr on call recognized it as GERD immediately and prescribed Zantac twice a day. The relief was immediate. I have eaten oatmeal and crackers now and regaining my strength on the positive side. On the negative side I spent 2 hours waiting to see the Dr and was near about 10 people with a terrible bug (the looked like they were on their death beds). Now my legs are starting to ache! All this grief when my OBYGN should have prescribed the Zantac. It is absolutely ridiculous, I haven't slept properly in a week so I know my immune system is down and was in a room with allllll those sick people. I pray I don't have words with her at my first ultrasound. These hormones have me feeling super sensitive and confrontational!
