hyperemesis gravidarum whats the chance for next baby?

[Becyboo__x]

Just a quick question ..

Has anyone had hyperemesis gravidarum and not got it with the next pregnancy?
I've been told and read it's 80% chance which seems high to me
I had it with a mc I had just would like to know if anyone can relate.

I've had it with 3 out of 8 pregnancies x

I can totally relate too.
I had it with my daughter and then I had it with my mmc.
I have been quite sick with this one (still vomiting at 25 weeks) but nothing like how I had it before. I feel better in the day now.
I hope it's not as bad for you this time. HG is really terrible

I'm hoping each pregnancy is different but I've read that too. Out of interest, what made you realise it was HG? did your GP diagnose you with HG?

I was sick from week 5 to I think week 14, 10+ times a day from 8 weeks, and I couldn't even swallow my own spit, I had to spit into a tissue. I was prescribed anti emetics which helped but not much, I was signed off work. However it did clear up in the 2nd trimestre which I know HG often doesn't, and I was never hospitalised (although came close twice). I was and am still traumatised by my first trimestre last time and I am genuinely terrified of having it agai, so I have the upmost respect for you ladies. I am starting to wonder if mine was HG but GP didn't mention it by name.

AngelofTroy - I was never diagnosed by a doctor and my midwife was completely disinterested. I suppose I have decided myself it was HG.
My experience is this...
At soon as 6 weeks hit the sickness started. it felt like severe flu/permanant hangover 24 hours a day. That feeling lasted until my daughter was born but I only vomited until 31 weeks. Even at 31 weeks i would just feel awful and the vomit would come up bringing up everything in my stomach.
I lost 7kgs in the first trimester (which is 16 lbs and not much compared to some ladies). I was never hospitalised because I managed to sip on water and eat crackers and I didn't want medication so I never went to a doctor or pushed for any help. But it was horrendous. I have to admit I was super terrified to be pregnant again so I'm quite happy that I feel well enough in the day to eat something. I am currently feeling slightly sick at the moment but that's how I feel all the time but manageable. With dd that I think I had HG with, I could hardly move or lift my head because then I would feel worse and vomit.

Thank you, that sounds like how I was but thankfully mine didn't last as long. I do remember getting a taxi to and from my GP (10 mins walk away!) and spitting into a tampon the whole way so that I didn't throw up when I swallowed! Pregnancy is glam eh?!

Angeloftroy certainly sounds like it my gp just diagnosed it from my symptoms and how dehydrated I was- he wanted to send me hospital for fluids but luckily the tablets worked a treat for me.

I do think every pregnancy is different- ive had bad sickness with all of mine but only hg with 3 x

I was thinking I might only be like it with girls but that might be untrue..
I was diagnosed in hospital I went a&è and they said there.. was on drips and had ketones in my wee I couldn't eat or drink without being sick bile(sp) was awful.

Just worried getting it again as I was really bad

I've been sick from finding out with all 3 mcs only 1 going on to hg as I was further along.. but my son I had nothing what so ever all the way through. But I also had complications with my last mc high risk ds and a haemorrhage in my womb ..

I guess time will tell sickness hasn't started yet but I usually give it til 6wks to start
