hyperemesis sufferers unite!

[kirst76]

sbl - I never had hyper-emesis with my first but with my second it started at 6 weeks and with my third it started at around 7 weeks.....this time it hit me like a ton of bricks at about 8 and a half weeks.
This time though my midwife basically jumped on it and got me straight on the meds so although i still feel a bit sick most days I havent thrown up in ages!
Hope you can get it under control as soon as!

I'm not actually prego yet but i've been told that as soon as i am and i think i have the hyperemesis again i've gotta get into the doctors so as not to get as bad as i did last time round.

Hope your ok and the vomiting doesnt return.

Ok, so I have been vomiting daily for the last 30 weeks....usually nasty stomach acid stuff. Over this time I've noticed that my tongue is sore and cracked. Is this because of all the vomit? Or lack of nutrients? Anyone else experience this? Will it go back to normal?

 

[kirst76]

sbl - hope you get a bfp soon and that if you get hyper-emesis again you can get it sorted!
I hope I dont start vomiting again as well....its Summer here though and on hot days I feel worse....who knows what will happen.

Amelia pond - I dont know about your tongue, it could be thrush, lack of vitamin B or just an infection. You really should go to your GP and get treatment for it though. I cant even imagine the pain from it!

Oh lovelies! Since coming out of the hospital on Tuesday... after they started me on a regiment of new meds... I have only thrown up once! I still get the nauseated feeling... but rarely vomit! HA HA HA! I am FINALLY hungry now... and actually get cravings for food. It is so nice to FINALLY eat. Hope that you are all doing well.

Very little and very often! Also I found a trick that helps me... it might help some others. Eat first. Do NOT eat and drink at the same time and after you eat wait about 30 minutes before drinking anything. Really helps!

So, my lovely lady suffers (id prefer to say "is a fighter!") From hyperemesis as well. Last weekend we went to the ER and they gave her saline solution via IV and some meds to help ease the nausea and vomiting. For the past week or so, shes been feeling reaaaally itchy and i immediately thought about her liver...as i dealt with that before. A not-so-helpful...at all...doctor said its due to her not eating and she shouldn't worry...we looked to get a second opinion. To cut the story short, we went to the ER yesterday and found out her blood pressure was low and way off, and her liver malfunctioning temporary. They kept her in the hospital to see how she handles the new meds, they gave her via IV and will feed her, as that will stablize her liver. As of right now, im at least glad shes in a stable area and getting good treatment.

Hope your lady is feeling better soon. How far along is she?

Thanks! She's feeling a bit better...her liver was behaving abnormal due to her lack of eating She got discharged this afternoon, and was recommended the "BRATT" diet [Banana - (plain) Rice (boiled in just water) - Apple (juice & sauce) - Toast - Tea]. She's 13+6 today!

Good to hear she is feeling better!

Hi,

I am almost 12 weeks pregnant and been in hospital 5 times. I had HG with my 1st. I had my thyroid levels checked recently and the levels were high, this is also an issue I had with my 1st. I have had no thyroid problems when not pregnant. From reading the net, it seems that it is common with cases with HG.

I am just wondering if anyone else has this experience.

So happy for you mom2beagain!

Ameliapond-- I have gotten a sore tongue on and off the last month. It's not the whole tongue for me, just the sides. Not sure why.

For all of the acid I've vomited, they put me on omeprazole. It helped a lot. Now if my stomach is empty and I retch, I don't throw up stomach acid!

 

[mom2beagain]

Ladies... I GAINED 2 POUNDS!!!!!! Thank the heavens!

 

[kirst76]

Hi and welcome honeybee....sorry you have had to find this forum

Stellargaze - glad the omeprazole is helping with the acid.

mom2beagain - woohoo at the weight gain!!!!

I've been given ranitidine for the same thing and told that I am dehydrated which hasn't helped. I need to sip more water throughout day....

Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and were able to keep something down.

Wishing you all a great New Year!

Hi ladies just thought I'd update. Baby Leo was born on boxing day weighing 5lb 7oz.

Just to say that I know you are all struggling and it seems like such a battle at the moment but after going through my whole pregnancy with hyperemesis every bit was totally worth my little angel that I have now and guess what the sickness is gone!

I know it seems never ending but stick in there and you'll have your babies in your arms at the end of it! X

 

[kirst76]

Congratulations jl! 5lb 7 isn't a bad weight either....my first girl was 5lb 9 and 8 days over due!
Enjoy every moment of being a mum!

Congrats JL!!

Hope you had a good birth and wishing you lots of happiness for your future with Leo! x
