Its unfortunate but great to hear someone else has had this! the only other person I know (locally) that has was my cousin (adopted tho, no blood relation) and the poor thing ended up having to get a central line for meds/iv feedings! I was able to survive with Zofran (aaaaaaah my wonder drug!!!). So I might assume that you have also experienced the massive panic when you uncontrollably pee while puking and think your water has broke?? That REALLY used to get to me!! Finally my doc sent me home with a whole roll of nitrizine paper so I didn't have to run to the hospital every day thinking I'd had PROM!! I'm unfortunately expecting that it will happen again the next time around. I was pregnant in May (m/c) and even before I had missed my period I ended up in the ER with severe vomitting!!LOL! I have decided that if anyone chooses to tell me they didn't have a day of sickness when pregnant that they're responsible for whatever happens!! LOL!!

Thanks,
