A friend of mine had acupuncture - it seemed to
work for her. Her first two she suffered badly and with the third someone
suggested acupuncture and it helped her a lot.
Just a thought.

Subject: Re Hyperemesis
Dear listers
What is current research based evidence for the
management of hyperemesis. I am currently caring for a 9/40 gestation G2 P1
for whom the main thrust of treatment seems to fluid replacement. The only
thing that settles her protracted episodes of vomiting seems to be IV Maxalon
which lasts about 4hrs plus oral pyridoxine 25mg BD. She is eating very small
amounts. In her last pregnancy this lasted until 16 weeks. I have expressed
concerns for long term vitamin and mineral intake but the GP seems unable to
find out about any other treatment modalities. He has spoken to obs people at
our tertiary hospital with no luck. Some time ago someone on the list wrote in
regard to this suggesting a Blackmores product that is practitioner use
only. I lost my references to this when my computer was changed over. If
someone has access to this could they let me know what it was.
Cheers
Jane
