16 wks plus still cannot drink water and UTI

Hi mummies, i cannot take any water since wk 8 and had been diagnosed with uti. Only frm midnight up till ard 8am i can take some milo. Went hospital for dripping for 3 times already because of dehydration. Every time i drink, i feel nausea and giddy. Had gastric problem bfore pregnant and it’s getting worse now so if i force myself to drink more, i will throw up acid and suffer frm severe gastric pain. Any mummies experience the same thing? Tried warm water, ginger ale, ginger tea, soft drink, honey water, chrysanthemum tea, ribena. All nt working🫠 Any advice?

Better to see a gastric specialist. I had somewhat similar experience, but not as severe as yours because I was still able to drink water. The specialist will do an ultrasound to check your other organs such as your gall bladder, because sometimes it’s not your gastric giving issues, it’s the gall bladder or sometimes even your pancreas, but can show similar symptoms as gastric problem. I was hospitalised for 4 days due to oesophageal ulcer and now all is good.

Hi Canice. I’ve been seeing gastric specialist for twice but she didn’t do any ultrasound for me, instead asking me for scope which i quite reluctant and gave me nexium and enzyme to take. Now i’m able to drink a bit but gastric feels like getting worse as it pains every time i eat so i barely eating nowadays😮‍💨 I will ask for ultrasound during my visit. Hopefully everything is ok. Thanks for your kind advice. Appreciated🙂
