Can IV Fluids Be Given During Pregnancy?
I am 11 weeks pregnant. I am able to hold water. However, I hav not been able to hold more then a few baby carrots, a handful of peanuts, and 2/3 of a bannana for over for over 36 hours. I am taking zofran and 1 other med for sickness every 4 hours while awake. I checked my ketones starting last night. They are reading moderate to high. Should I get iv fluids, where do I go from here? I can t continue to lose weight!

hi I understand your concern .actually you are suffering from hyperesis gravidarum....which is leading to dehydration sue to which ketones are coming positive.
if at all you are not able to hold anything then intravenous is the next option.if you can't opt for it then take plenty of fluids and you start taking tabrabeperazole and domoperidone combination.try to contact your nearest gynaecologist asap.
