[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 173708, member: 439"] dreamer - I went through something similar with both my pregnancies. Phenergan suppositories worked during my first one, but with my second I wound up in the hospital for 5 days. I am very surprised that they sent easy child home after the IVs, but with all that has happened, it may be for the best. If you haven't had experience with the Phenergan, she needs to use them the very second she wakes up in the morning. Plan on waking 15 minutes ahead of her usual schedule. It would be best if the suppository could be waiting for her in the bathroom instead of her having to go and get it out of the fridge. And do NOT wait until she's nauseous - use it as a preventative for at least the first 3 months of her pregnancy (or, as in my case, almost the entire 9 months!). When she feels up to eating, some good choices are roasted chicken (no skin, white meat only) plain baked potato and one that I could almost always tolerate - angelfood cake. The goal, at first, is not to get her nutrition, but just to get something to stay in her stomach. Try very cold, or luke warm things - some people can tolerate one temperature better than another. After that, one watch out is the prenatal vitamins. I had a terrible time with the high doses of iron in them - that would be enough to set me to throwing up again. When I wound up in the hospital, I had kept nothing down, even an ice chip, for over 3 days. They hooked the IV up, then took a blood sample for sugar (I'm also gestational diabetic) and FREAKED when it showed so high. Ah - HELLO - I'm dehydrated, you are pumping glucose in me, and then taking a blood sample RIGHT NEXT TO THE IV!!! Take a darn blood sample AFTER I get some food in me and see what is shows (it was 100 - idiots). I really feel for your daughter. I'd like to say it "gets better" but my experience didn't until after NL was born (I needed phenergan during delivery, too). [/QUOTE]
